Mack Daddy 4 Tactical sets the standard for wedge performance by combining innovative technologies with premium components. It’s the finest collaboration yet between industry legend Roger Cleveland and Callaway R&D, with heavy influence from Tour pro input.
Now it has an aggressive look to match all that performance, with a distinct new Tactical PVD Finish, Black PVD Face and black medallions. The Tactical package includes a limited edition Black Tour Issue shaft and a Lamkin Tactical grip. And to honor our military, a portion of the proceeds for Mack Daddy 4 Tactical will be donated to the Birdies For The Brave Foundation.
New Groove-in-Groove Technology for More Spin
Callaway’s proprietary Groove-In-Groove Technology combines a unique suite of features to provide more shot-stopping spin. The main grooves are saw-cut and horizontal milled to precise tolerances. The lower lofted wedges (50° and 52°) feature a 20D groove for consistent spin on fuller shots, while the higher lofted wedges (54° and above) feature an aggressive 5D groove for maximum control out of the rough and around the green. The 16- groove configuration includes our extra “Nip-It” groove near the leading edge for added control, especially on short shots.
The Micro-Positive surface roughness, milled into the flat parts of the face, features three raised micro-ridges, extending the length of the hitting area, with micro-grooves between the ridges that help grab the ball’s cover to increase spin significantly on a variety of shots. This combination of grooves plus micro-grooves provides 84 different contact points to grab the cover.
All Mack Daddy 4 Tactical grooves are 100% inspected with a digital stylus and special software to ensure the tightest tolerance within the USGA rules.
Tour-Inspired Shaping
The Mack Daddy 4 Tactical is the most rigorously tested and Tour-validated wedge we’ve ever offered. Roger Cleveland’s tireless work on Tour refining shapes, soles, grinds and camber led to a more compact shape, straighter leading edge, tighter leading-edge radius and slightly more offset, compared to MD3 wedges. With the tight radius, it’s easy to make clean contact on tight lies for maximum spin and control.
Versatile Grind Options
MD4 wedges are available in our S and X grind options, both with generous camber from heel to toe for smooth turf interaction and solid feel.
S Grind: Medium-width sole with slight chamber at the back and moderate heel relief to keep the leading edge low through impact, promoting solid contact on open-faced shots. 10° bounce.
New X Grind: The newest grind features a narrow, high-bounce crescent sole, with the low point near the front. Excellent for moderate-to-steep attack angles and medium-to-soft course conditions. 12° bounce.
Uniquely Satisfying Feel
Wedge feel is the product of several variables: CG location, sole, head material, finish, shaft and grip. We’ve carefully considered all of those elements, including the soft 8620 carbon steel head with the raw tactical finish. Our system of four weight ports and milled aluminum medallions allows us to position the head’s CG progressively upward as loft increases for solid feel on every shot. The shaft and premium grip further enhance feel. These elements, combined with precise turf interaction from our bounce/grind options, help create the most satisfying feel we’ve ever accomplished in a wedge.
New Aggressive Look
Mack Daddy 4 Tactical is visually striking and delivers a distinct and aggressive look that starts with a new raw PVD Finish. The PVD finish stands out on its own, and it accentuates the Black PVD face and black medallions. The Black Temper Tour Issue 115 shafts with tactical labels and Tactical Lamkin UTX grips with green end caps complete the premium design.
