    Thanks, Icon. A lot of clubs use that model.

    Hey guys,

    I guess our April fools started a day early... In all seriousness, that issue is kinda identified and hopefully fixed very quickly if not already.

    We cant make 4 round tournaments for one week each round ,, Multi round tournaments are now 72 hours maximum ,,, That's no good .. We have monthly tournaments (4 rounds - 1 week each )    Not any more ...

    Can you tell who has had the brilliant idea to remove the selection of 5 and 7 days in the creation of tournaments?


    Was it so annoying to have those time options?


    Are those WGT priorities, take away the good and leave the bad?


    Include those options again in the next update and do not touch the things that are useful please.

    These new Callaway Mack Daddy wedges exist higher loft at shorter distances, therefore, an 64Degree wedge is theoretically not needed.

    In real life perhaps not but we can't open the club face here.  We can only play the shots offered and the shortest wedge in the range hitting 75 yards full shot is nonsense.

    Bet these things sell like hot cakes covered in dog crap.

    Scott they do make a 64 wedge. https://www.tgw.com/callaway-mack-daddy-pm-grind-wedges?S

    I see that Gary, but why is it not listed on Callaways own website?

    I was looking at these wedges and then went to the pro shop and realised that WGT only put 3 of these wedges in the proshop . The 52,56, and the 60 degree wedges were all that they added at 3 levels per club . So that leaves the 50 , 54,and the 58 degree wedges to be added to the game . Any one of those could be programmed to be a 60 yd. wedge . So this could be why the yardages arent making any sense right now they arent through adding them to the proshop . Hopefully this is the case and one of the remaining clubs will be a 60 yd wedge that we all want .

    Some of us would like a 50 yd wedge  ;)

    Well D I bought some dog crap and it shines like the chrome on my Harley.  I bought the 56 degree just for the forgiveness and meter and the fact I just had problems hitting my Cleveland 588 56.  I kept my 588 60 and 64.

    Mapping it now and it is spot on a good add.

    Just checked and then double checked, Callaway does not make a 64 degree wedge in the Mack Daddy forged line. This line only goes to 60 degrees. They make a 64 degree in other lines but not this one and I assume that this is the line Callaway wanted them to use.

    Lol... Why would a 50,54 or 58 deg wedge fly less than a 60 deg wedge? Should leave the 64 deg wedge spot vacant ideally.

    The problem isn't that the 60 degree is too long, it's that it's doesn't have the correct attributes assigned.  It plays more like a 56 it seems for the most part.

    When dropping power below 90% I'm not sure what it's acting like, not a wedge that's for sure.

    Hitting it 100  to 90% it does hit okay, where you would expect it to with no spin. 

    FTS pushes it 10yrds longer almost. FBS does what you'd expect it to. 

    Chipping is actually very nice with the 60, once you get used to the over power. 

    Flop shots from the few I've hit have been nice, just dropped onto the green and stopped. That seems to work okay.

    I'm not going to try and dial the 60, 56 in anymore as I expect they'll be modified soon. 

    Whatever you do, make sure you get the numbers right when dropping power because as it stands now, the 12.00 versions are useless shooting anything under 90% on FS. Pitching is the opposite, too much power. 

    My observations with the 12.00 60 / 56. When you hit the 60 at 95% it plays very much like the higher ATV's do. When you ding the shot, aim is right, accuracy is great.

    I use the 64 ATV and the 60 works well as the second wedge, meter aside, they play very similar in how the ball releases, again when hit near full power.

     

    They seem like they could be nice with the right numbers plugged into them.
