Callaway Jaws Raw Wedge
The Jaws Raw wedge is Callaway's answer to a simple question: how do you keep a wedge grabbing the ball three seasons from now the way it does out of the box? The Raw part is the key. There's no chrome or nickel plating on the face, so the steel is exposed and starts to rust after a few rounds. That rust isn't a flaw. It cuts glare in the sun and, more to the point, it keeps the groove and face edges from wearing smooth as fast as a plated wedge does. You buy spin now, and you keep more of it later.
The Tour Grind is the shotmaker's option in the lineup. It has heel and trailing edge relief that lets you lay the face wide open without the leading edge sitting up off the turf. If you like to hit low spinners, open-face flops, and everything in between, this is the sole shape that gets out of your way. It runs a little tighter than the wider W grind, so it's happiest on firm to medium turf and in the hands of a player who takes a shallow to neutral divot.
Callaway didn't reinvent the wedge here, and that's fine. What you get is the sharpest version of the JAWS groove program on a face designed to hold that sharpness, paired with a sole a good player can actually use. It's a specialist's tool. If you scoop at it or play out of soft, wet ground all the time, look at a different grind. If you shape shots and want maximum bite, the 2026 Jaws Raw Tour Grind is built for you.

About the Callaway Jaws Raw
The face carries Callaway's JAWS grooves with a 37-degree wall angle on the lofts where the rules allow it, plus the offset groove-in-groove milling between the main grooves that adds bite on the shorter, partial shots where you're not catching a full groove. Because the face is left raw, there's no plating to break down, and the rust that forms actually helps the surface stay aggressive on the ball. Expect the head to change color over the first month of play. That's the design working, not corrosion eating the club. The Tour Grind sole is narrow through the middle with relief ground off the heel and the trailing edge. That relief is what lets the clubface rotate open and still sit flush to the ground, so the leading edge stays low when you fan it out for a lob or a bunker shot. Bounce sits in a moderate range that suits a cleaner, shallower strike. It's a precise sole rather than a forgiving one, and it rewards a player who controls the low point of the swing.
Who Should Play the Callaway Jaws Raw?
- ✓Better players who open and close the face to shape wedge shots rather than hitting one stock trajectory every time.
- ✓Anyone playing firm or medium turf and tight lies, where a narrow Tour Grind sole slides instead of digging.
- ✓Golfers who want the sharpest possible spin and don't mind a raw head that rusts and needs the occasional wipe-down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Jaws Raw face rust, and should I be worried about it?
The face has no plating, so bare steel is exposed and oxidizes after a handful of rounds. It's intentional. The rust cuts glare and helps the face and grooves stay sharp longer than a plated wedge, which means more consistent spin over the life of the club. Wipe the head dry after play and it won't spread beyond the face.
What kind of player should choose the Tour Grind over the wider grinds?
The Tour Grind fits a shotmaker with a shallow to neutral divot who plays firm to medium conditions. If you like to open the face for flops and greenside variety, its heel and trailing edge relief keeps the leading edge down. If you take deep divots or play soft, wet turf, a wider W grind with more bounce is the safer pick.
What lofts does the 2026 Jaws Raw Tour Grind come in?
The Tour Grind is offered in the higher-loft wedges where an open-face, high-relief sole makes the most sense, typically the 56, 58, and 60 degree range. Lower gap and pitching wedge lofts usually come in the wider grinds, since you rarely open the face on those. Check the fitting chart for the exact loft and bounce pairings.
Does the raw face conform to the rules of golf?
Yes. The Jaws Raw grooves are built to conform to USGA and R&A groove specifications, and the raw finish doesn't change that. You can play it in tournaments. The one thing to watch is groove wear over years of heavy use, which is true of any wedge, though the raw face is designed to slow that down.
How much upkeep does a raw wedge need?
Not much. Clean the grooves after each shot the way you would with any wedge, and dry the head before it goes back in the bag so the rust stays even. There's no clear coat to protect, so don't be surprised by color changes. If you want to slow the rust you can wipe it with a light oil, but most players just let it patina.
