The PM Grind 19 is Callaway's second run at Phil Mickelson's wedge concept, and it is not built for everyone. Phil is one of the best short-game players who has ever lived, and this wedge reflects how he actually plays around the green: open the face, use the bounce, hit shots most golfers never attempt. The high-toe profile and full-face grooves are the giveaway. When you lay this club wide open, the ball still contacts a grooved surface, so you get spin on the flops and cut lobs that a standard wedge would send skidding.
Callaway forged the head this time, which is the big change from the original 2015 version. That softer feel matters on a wedge like this, where feedback on partial shots and delicate chips is the whole point. The lineup runs 56, 58, 60, and yes, a 64. That 64-degree option is rare, and it tells you exactly who Callaway had in mind.
This is a specialist's tool. If you love opening the face, playing high soft shots, and getting creative from tight lies and greenside bunkers, the PM Grind rewards you. If you want a set-matching wedge that behaves the same on every shot, this is the wrong club.

Technology
About the Callaway PM Grind 19
The signature feature is the high-toe shape combined with grooves that run across the entire face, all the way to the top edge. Open the face for a flop and you make contact high on the toe, an area that on most wedges is smooth and slippery. Here it grabs the ball and produces spin, which is what makes the aggressive Mickelson-style shots actually work. The grooves are aggressive by design to bite on the short, glancing strikes. Callaway used progressive lofts and a C-Grind style sole with heel and toe relief, so you can manipulate the face without the leading edge sitting too high or the sole digging. Forged construction gives the softer, more connected feel that lower-loft wedges from cast bodies tend to miss. The 64-degree is the standout, a genuine lob-wedge extreme that suits players who want to hit it high and stop it fast from inside 60 yards.
Who Should Play the Callaway PM Grind 19?
- ✓Skilled short-game players who open the face and play high, spinning greenside shots rather than a single repeatable stock swing.
- ✓Anyone drawn to the 64-degree loft for extreme lobs and quick-stopping shots inside 60 yards.
- ✓Better ball-strikers who want forged feel and full-face grooves for spin on flops, cuts, and shots off tight lies.
- ✓Golfers comfortable using bounce out of soft sand and around the green, not diggers who want minimal-bounce blades.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the PM Grind 19 different from a normal wedge?
Two things: the high-toe head shape and grooves that cover the full face. When you open the face for a flop, the ball contacts high on the toe, and on this wedge that area is grooved so it still generates spin. Standard wedges leave that spot smooth, so open-face shots come off with less bite.
Is the 64-degree loft actually usable?
For the right player, yes. A 64 is a specialist club for high, soft shots that land steep and stop fast, mainly from inside 60 yards and out of greenside bunkers. It takes a confident, aggressive short-game player to use it well. If you are not comfortable getting under the ball, a 60 is the safer top loft.
How is the PM Grind 19 different from the original 2015 model?
The biggest change is that the 19 version is forged, where the original was cast. Forging gives a softer feel that matters on the delicate partial shots this wedge is built for. The high-toe shape and full-face grooves carry over, since those are the core of Phil Mickelson's design idea.
Do I need to be a good player to use this wedge?
It helps. This is a creativity-first wedge that rewards opening the face and playing varied shots around the green. A player with a repeatable single technique won't tap into what it does, and might prefer a more forgiving, set-matching wedge. If you already open the face and use bounce, it fits.
What lofts does the PM Grind 19 come in?
It's offered in 56, 58, 60, and 64 degrees. The 56 and 58 work as sand and gap options, the 60 is your standard lob, and the 64 is the extreme high-loft choice for players who want maximum height and stopping power.
