The Mack Daddy 4 is Callaway's 2018 forged wedge line, and the Tour Grind is the version built for players who like to move the face around. Roger Cleveland shaped these, and it shows in how the Tour Grind sits behind the ball. The sole is narrower through the middle with relief ground off the heel, toe, and trailing edge, so you can open it up for a flop or lay it flat for a low spinner and the leading edge stays tight to the turf either way.
The forging matters here. These are 1025 mild carbon steel, which gives that soft, muted feel off the face that better players chase on half shots and touchy greenside stuff. Callaway also loaded it with Groove-In-Groove technology, meaning there are micro-grooves cut at an angle between the main grooves to grab the ball on partial swings and open-face shots. The higher lofts get more aggressive, tighter grooves for spin, and the lower lofts get a slightly different pattern tuned for full swings.
With lofts running from 48 all the way to 64 degrees, you can build a full wedge setup out of this one grind or just slot in a specialty club. That 64 is a rare bird, a true high-lob option for players who want to hit it high and land it soft with almost no roll. This is a shot-maker's wedge, not a game-improvement club, and it asks you to bring some technique to the table.

About the Callaway Mack Daddy 4
The Tour Grind takes a moderate-width sole and grinds relief into the heel, toe, and trailing edge, which is what lets you manipulate the face without the bounce fighting you. Sit it square and there's enough bounce to keep you out of trouble on stock shots. Open the face and the ground-away areas let the leading edge stay low so you can slide it under the ball on tight lies and bunker shots. Visually it's a clean, compact head with a satin chrome finish and a traditional teardrop shape. Groove-In-Groove technology fills the space between the primary grooves with 20-degree micro-grooves, and the groove geometry gets more aggressive as loft climbs, so your 58 and 60 bite harder on the shots where spin counts most. It's a forged 1025 carbon steel body, so the feel is soft and the feedback is honest about where you caught it on the face.
Who Should Play the Callaway Mack Daddy 4?
- ✓Better players who open and close the face to shape wedge shots and want a sole that cooperates when they do
- ✓Anyone playing firmer turf or tight lies who needs a versatile grind with heel and toe relief
- ✓Golfers chasing soft, forged feel on partial shots and delicate greenside touch
- ✓Players who want a genuine high-lob option, since the 64-degree fills a gap most wedge lines skip
- ✓Skilled amateurs and low handicappers building a matched wedge set from 48 up through the short clubs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tour Grind on the Mack Daddy 4 and who should play it?
The Tour Grind has relief ground off the heel, toe, and trailing edge on a moderate sole, which makes it easy to open the face and hit specialty shots. It suits better players who like to manipulate loft and lie for flops, low spinners, and touchy greenside shots. If you play stock, square-faced wedge shots and want maximum forgiveness, a wider standard grind fits you better.
What lofts does the Mack Daddy 4 Tour Grind come in?
It's available in 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, and 64 degrees. That range covers everything from a gap wedge up to a true high-lob 64, so you can build a full wedge lineup or just add a specialty club to what you already carry.
Is the Mack Daddy 4 forged, and how does it feel?
Yes, it's forged from 1025 mild carbon steel. That gives it a soft, muted feel off the face, which better players like on half shots and delicate chips because you can feel exactly where the ball comes off. The feedback is honest, so mishits let you know.
How much spin does the Mack Daddy 4 generate?
Spin is one of its strengths thanks to Groove-In-Groove technology, which cuts angled micro-grooves between the main grooves to grab the ball on partial and open-face shots. The groove pattern also gets more aggressive as loft increases, so the higher-lofted wedges bite hardest on the shots where you need the ball to check and stop.
Should I get the 64-degree Mack Daddy 4?
The 64 is for players who want to hit the ball very high and land it soft with almost no rollout, mainly around the greens on short-sided shots. It takes speed and technique to use well since it's easy to slide under the ball and come up short. If you already handle a 60 comfortably and want an extra club for high, soft shots, it's a useful specialty option.
