Callaway Mack Daddy CB wedge - Performance and Forgiveness

One of the biggests surprises with the Mack Daddy CB wedge was the amount of spin it generated.

For a wedge built for higher-handicap golfers with tons of forgiveness and a thick cavity back shape, spin is something that you would typically have to sacrifice, but the Mack Daddy CB 52 degree produced a phenomenal amount of spin, especially from full distance shots.

From a closer distance at around 30-yards, the 52 degree Mack Daddy CB wedge still performed really well. It felt like a very versatile wedge and again the spin was incredible, especially for one packed with forgiveness.

Player Level

For higher-handicap players this wedge is ideal as the transition from iron to wedge feels far more comfortable and you are filled with confidence before even making a swing.

Should you buy the Callaway Mack Daddy CB wedge?

The Mack Daddy CB lob wedge is another great addition for higher-handicap players as similarly to the 52 degree it feels very versatile and the grooves cover the entirety of the face, meaning that you can still hit a few poor strikes and end up with some pretty good results.

Overall, this wedge ticks a lot of boxes for not only high-handicap golfers, but also the lower players who are just looking for a versatile wedge that still offers tons of spin.
