Callaway launches new Mack Daddy 4 Tactical wedges

Earlier this year, Callaway released its Mack Daddy 4 wedges, which were armed with Groove-In-Groove Technology and “Nip-It” grooves to provide more spin. Now, industry legend Roger Cleveland and Callaway R&D, with heavy influence from Tour pro input, have launched the brand new Mack Daddy 4 Tactical Wedge.

The Mack Daddy 4 Tactical features a limited edition Black Tour Issue Shaft and Lamkin Tactical Grip. The Mack Daddy 4 Tactical also features a sharp new Tactical PVD finish, Black PVD Face and black medallions for an aggressive look.

According to Callaway, The Mack Daddy 4 is the most rigorously tested and Tour-validated wedge that they have ever offered. The new wedge is said to provide more compact shape, straighter leading edge, tighter leading-edge radius and slightly more offset compared to their Mack Daddy 3 range. All features were included to provide maximum spin and control from tight lies.

The Mack Daddy 4 Tactical is available in both Callaway’s S and X grind options. Here is a rundown of what both grinds will provide, according to Callaway

S-Grind: “Medium-width sole with slight chamber at the back and moderate heel relief to keep the leading edge low through impact, promoting solid contact on open-faced shots. 10º bounce.”
X-Grind: “The newest grind features a narrow, high-bounce crescent sole, with the low point near the front. Excellent for moderate-to-steep attack angles and medium-to-soft course conditions. 12º bounce.”

Available lofts include 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60-degree options, all of which will be available for both right and left-handed players. The Mack Daddy 4 Tactical will be in stores from the 21st of Sept. and will cost $179.99.

Callaway will be donating a portion of the proceeds for the Mack Daddy 4 Tactical to the Birdies For The Brave Foundation, a national military outreach initiative. All active, reserve, retired, and military veterans are eligible for a 15 percent discount on the new release from Callaway, which will be available here.

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.
