Callaway to offer PM Grind wedges in Matte Black finish

Callaway’s PM Grind, designed in conjunction with Phil Mickelson, will now be offered with a Matte Black finish. The original PM Grind, which released in early 2015, was well-received by Tour players, and has stayed in Mickelson’s bag since.

The new look was developed based on feedback from Tour players, according to Callaway, but it will keep all of the same designs and features. It’s just a different finish.

In 2014, Mickelson helped design the PM Grind wedge, which has a higher toe and 39 percent more groove coverage across the face, making the club more versatile from various lies. It’s a fantastic option around the greens, especially on short game shots played with an open face.

With a U-grind sole, the leading edge sits closer to the turf making it easier to play high-lofted shots from tight lies.

Also, a higher center of gravity in the club allows players to launch the ball lower with more spin, a shot that better players often prefer.

PM Grind wedges with a Matte Black finish will be available in lofts of 56, 58, 60 and 64 degrees. They’ll sell for $129.99 starting Jan. 29.

Just bought the 60.10. Had the 56.13 for three rounds late last year and loved it! Decided the black finish is beautiful so I plunked down another hundred thirty five bucks for the lob version. Can’t wait to try it out. Still too much snow here (Michigan)…can’t wait for spring. Just love this club.

I like the slate look, don’t like the shaft options – seems like the Hi Rev 2 for the 60 or 64 should be an option. As to the look – it’s a cross between a Ping and Edel with the grooves going to the edges of the toe.

If they made an entire set(green holes and all) of pm grind Mack daddies I would buy them a second…granted I owned that set before though ping was written on them..
Still, make a pm Mack daddy 3-LW and I would buy it immediately…

I’ve been wanting a “raw” version of this wedge so it can rust for awhile now. Anyone out there know if we can simply dump this club in coke or vinegar overnight to remove the finish? (couldn’t do this on the previous version because they were chrome plated)

  I’ve been thinking the same thing. The raw ones Phil has in his bag look great. I wish they had an extra sole grind or two to pick from. I’m a sweeper and the amount of bounce on that as a lob wedge scares the H out of me. Looks like the ball is going to go screaming across the green on me.

  I would buy one of these if you could get it in raw. It would be interesting to see if you could remove the finish.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
