Question 1

What was your favorite moment with this gear?

Accepted Answer

I have alot of good moments with these wedges, but for the most part my favorite is when they naturally raw. I wanted to see the difference between the brand new un-rusted faces vs. the rusted faces. I almost instantly noticed better spin on mishits. Also when the faces rusted, I noticed that being more aggressive around the green has led to less putts. We all want that.

Question 2

Why did you choose this product?

Accepted Answer

I am a certified fitter for multiple companies across the company spectrum. So I have been lucky to have these given to me. With that said, I have owned SM9, Milled Grind 2&3, AND Jaws Raw all at the same time. I did not choose this product, this product chose me. I gave all of these wedges equal chances to impress me. And with about 10 rounds on each as a barometer, JAWS raw is still one of the most forgiving and satisfying feel I have come across in years.

Question 3

What do you love about this product?

Accepted Answer

The Callaway Jaws Raw has me more confident in ball striking around the greens. The previous JAWS model without the raw feature was nice, but the Milled Grind 2 was better for me. There was a raw model for JAWS before this model, but was more expensive. Now the tables have completely turned because the price for the JAWS RAW is now much more competitive, and actually interact better on the terrain better than MG. I was totally surprised on the forgiveness on heel and toe strikes (STILL SPINS OFF THE GROOVES). This club is for every grade of player, but has a pro style top line. I recommend paying close attention to the grinds, and bounce as it pertains to how you attack the ground. If you get this right, you won't be able to replace these.

Question 4

What is the value for the money versus other options?

Accepted Answer

I want to be completely transparent on this question, because these are not going to be the cheapest wedge on the market. The top companies are selling wedges in a range of $139-179. The jaws raw is up there with the top wedges price wise. I think performance, weighting system, and look are top of the class nevertheless.

Question 7

Is the Callaway Jaws Raw wedge forgiving?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer to are the Callaway Jaws Raw wedges forgiving is yes. Playing out of the thick rough or on a tight fairway, I experienced a great deal of forgienvess in short chips and full swing shots. Out of the bunker, they perform well, but will cater to those players that have more bunker experience. Off the fairways and rough, they proved to be very forgiving and easy to get into the air with some serious stopping power.

,

The middle center of gravity and the weighted toe pads do allow for more forgiveness on full swings with the jaw wedges. Though they are more designed for accuracy around the greens. Because of the center weighting, it does make it less likely to top shot making for an easier center of contact. The Jaws forgiveness was impressive and an improvement from the MD5

With that said, the W Grind at 12 degrees of bounce in the Jaws Raw lineup is a moderately forgiving option for a player who would like to play a Tour-style wedge. Provides good bounce off of a softer or medium turf condition. If forgiveness is a top priority, the MackDaddy model from Callaway would assist more with inconsistent contact for a higher handicapper.

,

Yes, the Callaway Jaws Raw Wedges are designed with a number of varying technologies to deliver a high level of forgiveness for golfers. - Milled micro groove-in-groove technology delivers profound spin even when opening the club face to maintain club head speed and provide ball flight control out of heavy grass and bunker sand. - Manipulation in the hosel lengths along with the placement of tungsten weight ports behind the face in the higher lofted wedges positions the center of gravity to increase the hitting area and enhance forgiveness. - 17 loft and bounce options along with 4 grind options in the soles provide players with varying angles of attack and who play in different turf conditions a wedge profile that fits their swing tendencies and wedge needs. - The raw face design increases friction in damp conditions improving spin control upwards of 25% compared to plated and finished wedges for added forgiveness from wet grass.

There are more forgiving wedge options on the market.

,

The Callway Jaws Raw wedge does offer a good amount of forgiveness. The most important thing in terms of forgiveness in a wedge is getting the bounce and grind angle that matches your specific swing.

,

Understanding the level of forgiveness in a golf club, particularly in the case of the Callaway Jaws Raw wedge, is paramount to making an informed decision for your game improvement. The Callaway Jaws Raw wedge, launched as a part of Callaway's highly praised Jaws line, is engineered with versatility and precision in mind. While it does offer some degree of forgiveness, it may not be the most forgiving option on the market, especially for high-handicap players. Forgiveness, in golf terms, refers to a club's design features aimed at minimizing the effects of poor swings or off-center hits, enabling the golfer to maintain a better shot result than they otherwise would have achieved. For a wedge, this often relates to its ability to help golfers still achieve their desired trajectory, spin, and distance even when the strike is not perfectly centered. The Jaws Raw wedge features Callaway's renowned Groove-in-Groove technology and a more raw, natural finish that increases spin and control. It is equipped with a distinctive grind, which can provide better turf interaction and hence increased playability from various lies, thus contributing to a certain level of forgiveness. However, these features primarily enhance performance, precision, and feel rather than pure forgiveness. Where it might lack in outright forgiveness, it makes up in control and shot-shaping capabilities, making it an excellent choice for more skilled golfers seeking to improve their short game precision. The increased control and ability to shape shots often come hand-in-hand with a less forgiving design, as these clubs are built to respond more accurately to the golfer's input, both good and bad. In conclusion, while the Callaway Jaws Raw wedge offers some degree of forgiveness through its grind and Groove-in-Groove technology, it's not specifically designed for high forgiveness. It instead focuses on providing golfers with superior spin, control, and feel. This makes it an excellent choice for mid to low handicap players who prioritize precision and versatility over raw forgiveness. If you're a golfer who values control and precision in your short game, the Callaway Jaws Raw wedge could be a great addition to your bag.

,

A raw-faced wedge is a type of golf club that golfers use for those important shots near the green. What makes these wedges special is their unique appearance and construction. Unlike most golf clubs that have a shiny, polished look, raw-faced wedges have a clubface made from untreated steel. This gives them a distinct dark and matte appearance. Why do golfers choose raw-faced wedges? Well, there are a couple of good reasons. First, they're really good at making the golf ball spin a lot, which is crucial for precise shots near the green. Second, when you hit the ball with them, it feels softer, something many golfers prefer for those finesse shots. But there's one thing to keep in mind - raw-faced wedges can rust over time. Some golfers actually like the rusty look, thinking it adds character to the club. Importantly, the rust doesn't affect how the club performs. However, raw-faced wedges do require a bit more care and maintenance. You need to clean them properly and ensure they don't get excessively rusty. So, if you're okay with that extra upkeep and you want better control and feel for your short game, a raw-faced wedge could be a good choice. But if you prefer a low-maintenance option, there are other wedges with shiny finishes to consider. Ultimately, it's about finding the right wedge that suits your game and your preferences. Give a raw-faced wedge a try and see if it helps improve your golf game around the green.

Question 9

What handicap is the Callaway Jaws Raw wedge for?

Accepted Answer

In my opinion, the Callaway Jaws Raw Chrome Wedge is ideal for 15 handicaps or lower — although players of any skill level can benefit from the club’s increased control and spin. The additional consistency on approach shots will give mid-low handicaps a boost in accuracy and confidence. However, newer golfers might find the club’s sharp edge a bit cumbersome - especially the sand trap or rough.

Tha Callway Jaws Raw wedge is great for a wide variety of handicap players.

The more forgiving "W" grind offers a wider sole and is offered in higher bounce options.

This wedge line will be geared toward players who like to hit various shot types and like the looks of a Tour-style wedge.

,

The Callaway Jaws Raw wedge is designed for the mid to low handicap golfer. Though Callaway has used tungsten in the wedge do help balance the club head for increased forgiveness, the Jaws Raw wedge is still a blade style wedge.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

,

Callaway's Raw Face on their new Jaw's wedges provide more spin than I thought was possible on a wedge. Paired with the super forgiving X grind, stopping the ball on the green is no problem at all. You may even see some serious spin back on those full swing shots. I was super impressed with the consistancy of spin as well. Throughout an entire 18 hole round, I continued to see consistant spin on each chip and full shot in. I would 100% say that the Raw Face adds that extra spin you are looking for with those scoring shots.

,

There is a common misconception that rust adds spin. It still doesn’t. Finishes are applied after heads are grooved Leaving this face raw allows for the wedge to perform closer to intention without the coating affecting it at all. With the JAWS Raw wedge, Callaway is not using full-face grooves. That being said, the ungrooved sections will have a muted or matte finish that should reduce glare.

,

The raw face on these wedges is meant to create more contact with the ball. The result is a high increase in spin rates for all shots around the green and coming into the green.

,

Absolutely. The grooves are super sharp with the new positioning of the milled micro-grooves. The 20-degree angle they're at provides added spin on whether it's chip shots, pitch shots or lob shots. The rust on the new raw face on the scoring zone will lead to more spin as well.

,

The Callaway Jaws Raw face definitely provides tons of spin. Compared to other similar forged wedges, I was getting more spin with the raw face on these wedges. If you want max spin from your wedges, these are a great option for you.

,

The Callaway Jaws Raw face is designed specifically to create more spin. These wedges feature groove in groove technology to help create the maximum amount of spin.

,

It has always been thought that a raw, rusty wedge spun more than a chrome plated wedge, that is partially true. If you watch closely, the pros on TV mostly have used raw wedges, and many golfers have believed that the reason the pros were using these wedges was for the added spin. The reason many of the pros you see on tv (PGA Tour, LPGA etc…) chooses raw wedges is for the low glare characteristics, not for extra spin. A raw wedge does not reflect sunlight like a chrome plated wedge and that is why may pros choose to use raw wedges. That being said there have been tests on raw vs chrome wedges and it has shown a moderate increase in spin with the raw wedges, it just has nothing to do with the rust. The reason raw wedges spin slightly more than a chrome plated wedge is the finish is normally applied after the grooves are cut. That chrome plating, while slight does take up space in the grooves. That loss of space does cause a slight loss in spin rate and control. So does a raw wedge spin more than a chrome plated wedge? Yes, slightly but not for the reasons most golfers have always believed.

,

The Callaway Golf Jaws Raw Chrome Wedge does offer more spin than the previous Callaway wedge models. The Jaws Raw wedges feature the most aggressive razor sharp grooves in golf(20% angle), with a raw face that promotes maximum spin. The new wedge technologies are from Roger Cleveland’s 40+ years of designing some of the most popular wedges in golf.

,

You'll see a lot more spin off of a raw face wedge versus the traditional plated-face wedges. The absence of plating on the face creates a gritty feel that produces a ridiculous amount of spin. Added spin is evident on full shots, bunker shots, and chipping around the green.

,

The non-plated, raw finish on the face of the Jaws Raw Wedges are specifically designed to work with the milled micro groove-in-groove technology to add spin. The raw face has also been shown to perform more consistently in damp conditions increasing friction and preserving spin by upwards of 25%. Keeping the faces clean to prevent rusting will maintain the complexities of the groove technology and spin capabilities for a longer time.

,

Callaway's Raw face is designed to increase and maintain spin over time. Without the plating that the standard Jaws wedge has the face will rust over time, which will naturally increase the friction between ball and club face, allowing the player to spin the ball more off of the face of the club.

,

The simple answer is yes, but not immediately. As a club face ages, it starts to rust, and that rust can do a better job of grabbing the ball at impact. When you get a wedge with a raw face, it's able to rust much faster, and as a result after a few months your wedges will start to spin more.

,

The raw face finish on the JAWS Raw Wedges is designed to create the most friction between the club face and the ball, allowing the ball to spin at a higher RPM than ever before. Paired with the use of tungsten in the club head, the balance and distribution of weight gives the player the best combination of feel, control, and confidence.

,

The raw face on the Callaway Jaws Raw wedge encourages more spin. Along with the aggressive grooves, the rust provides a rough textured face to grab the ball and provide maximum spin.

,

The raw face will preserve the amount of spin over time. As the wedge is used and gets wet it will rust. This will increase the amount of spin, especially in wet conditions. As the grooves wear the rusted face will offset the loss of spin.

,

The Callaway team has constructed the Jaws Raw Wedge with sharp grooves, newly engineered micro-grooves, and a raw face. The raw face was built by discarding the protective plating on the face of the club which allows the face to rust in the elements over time. Rust on the face of the wedge creates more friction when striking the ball and in turn creates more energy and backspin on your shot. As a result, you can create much more backspin on the ball to stop it on a dime whether it's a full wedge approach shot or a greenside chip.

,

Raw wedge faces do not spin more. They are purely for looks and feel. Since they do not have nickel or chrome plating, the raw wedge face does feel a little softer.

,

The Callaway Jaws Raw wedge faces are built to produce increased spin from any lie because of key design elements which helps them stand out from other wedge options. The plating has been removed from the grooves which allows the face to create added friction at impact to promote higher spin. Also, these wedge faces feature Callaway's Offset Groove-In-Groove Technology, which adds angled micro-grooves to enhance spin from the rough, sand and fairway. With that in mind, the Jaws Raw wedges produce top level spin and versatility for every golfer.

,

A raw face means that there is no top coat on the wedge. This means it will naturally rust. When the club and face rust naturally, this gives more grip or grab on the ball, increasing the spin. If you clean your wedge often, you can remove most of the rust and maintain a consistent feel and look. Another reason for having a raw finish is to reduce the glare.

,

A raw face doesn’t necessarily spin more. Rust is unpredictable and it is hard to say if it actually adds or removes spin on shots but what it does do is prevent glare on the club face when playing in sunny conditions.

,

Yes, it does help increase spin. It is not a miracle worker that will help you spin the ball backwards 15 feet, but it will help the ball spin more. It helps in consistent spin more than it makes the ball spin more. If the club face is wet or the ball is wet, having a raw face will help the spin be more consistent as if the condition were dry.

Question 11

How does Callaway Jaws Raw compare to Callaway MD5 Jaws?

Accepted Answer

The Callaway Jaws Raw Chrome Wedge outperforms the MD5 Jaws in green side shot control and overall spin. The MD5 was slightly more powerful on approach but didn't have the same pinpoint accuracy as the Jaws Raw (which is downright surgical from 50 yards or less). Both provide excellent shot consistency, and reliable rollouts and felt great through the swing. Overall, Jaws Raw Chrome Wedge and the MD5 Jaws share a ton of great features -- but the consistent spin of the Jaws Raw makes it the superior club in my opinion.

,

It looks and feels similar. Nice seeing high spin rates from the raw. You can really flatten the 60 and make it spin around 11k on full shots.

,

In comparison to the Callaway MD5, the Callaway Jaws Raw is an absolute upgrade. Featuring all-new Jaws grooves, the angle of the groove is steeper at 37* as opposed to the 4* angle in the MD5. The face is a RAW face. Another feature of the RAW wedge is the offset groove-in-groove. There is fine milling in between the grooves to help improve spin all around. There is no plating on the face, improving contact with the ball, resulting in a ton more spin. Overall, the Jaws RAW is a spin machine.

,

Jaws RAW vs MD5 The new Jaws Raw has several improvements that are unique to this wedge including: RAW FACE: The Jaws Raw firstly, has a Raw face. This means that Callaway has removed the plating on the face in order to maximize spin. Removing this plating effectiveley removes a layer between the ball and the grooves, and this is the idea behind maximizing the spin. In removing this chrome plating on a large part of the face, the wedge is going to rust over time. Don't worry though, as only the scoring part of the face will rust, while the rest of the club will not. Grooves: The new Jaws Raw features an off-set groove-in-groove technology. This means that there are tiny grooves in between the large grooves. This added texture is not a new design. The MD5 featured parallel micro-grooves, while the Raw features 20 degree offset micro-grooves to maximize spin in all conditions. Variable Length Hosels and Weighted Toe Pads : The hosels are longer in length in the new Jaws Raw. In wedge making, this raises the center of gravity, and helps promote that lower, more controlled wedge shot that so many desire. Weight has been added to the high part of the toe to achieve this same heightened center of gravity. Tungsten: For the first time in a Callaway wedge, tungsten is being used to help center the CG (center of gravity). This tungsten in the sand and lob wedges, helps maximize control and feel by centering the CG. Z Grind: The brand new Z grind, in particular, has a 3 level design on the sole to maximimze shot versatility and forgiveness around the green. There is a cutout in the leading edge to prevent digging and improve turf interaction. This is great for players who like to open the face around the green, and get super creative with different shots. These are some of the main differences in the new Jaws Raw wedge. These wedge are availalable in either chrome or black, and there are 17 loft/bounce combinations to choose from.

,

There are several improvements, starting with the Raw Face finish for maximum spin and friction. Secondly, the new Tungsten Weighting in sand and lob wedges centers the GC for feel and control. Thirdly, they have the Offset Groove-In-Groove technology which promotes added spin. Finally, the new Z-Grind option replaces the C-Grind in the MD5 which gives added forgiveness in a low bounce wedge.

,

The Callaway Jaws Raw are very similar in performance to the MD5 wedges but the new Jaws Raw wedges gave me more spin compared to the MD5 wedges. If you want the most spin, the Jaws Raw wedges will be the best option for you.

,

This Wedge Spins.... so I tested the new Jaws 60-degree wedge and I normally don't have a 60 in my hands but I really saw the difference in ball flight when even making the easiest swing. Comes with new tungsten weights in the back and a fresh new look. For all level golfers

,

The new Callaway Jaws Raw wedges introduce tungsten weighting and progressive size hosel lengths to provide the perfect center of gravity. By using the weights and hosel lengths Callaway has managed to increase feel, trajectory, control and forgiveness. The higher lofted wedges have longer hosels that are balanced by two tungsten weights in the toe section which helps balance the center of gravity from tow to heel, but also moves it slightly higher to influence a lower shot with greater spin. The lower lofted wedges, on the other hand, have shorter hosels and less tungsten weighting in the toe sections to help lower center of gravity for higher-flying shots from the fairway.

,

The Callaway Jaws Raw is a tremendous new offering in Callaway's wedge lineup that builds upon the success of the MD5 Jaws. The most notable enhancements on the Jaws Raw are going to be the non-plated raw face, the addition of tungsten in the head, and reconfigured grind offering. First, the raw face is going to allow for maximum spin on all shots. Second, the heavier tungsten weights placed in the back of the head allow for an enhanced feel and an optimized center of gravity. Third, is the introduction of the Z Grind into Callaway's current stable. This grind is going to be targeted at someone looking for a low bounce, shot-making wedge especially good in firm conditions. All of these updates will undoubtedly help golfers lower scores and find the perfect wedge for their game.

,

The Callaway Jaws Raw wedge is designed to be the next tour level wedge to replace the Mack Daddy 5 (MD5) wedge. The footprint of the Jaws Raw is similar to that of the MD5, but the Raw features sharper grooves and a raw face, which refers to the face with the plating removed. The removal of the plating leads the face to rust, increasing the friction between the club face and the ball, causing the ball to spin more. The Raw wedges also have progressive hosel lengths, with hosels getting longer as the lofts of the wedges increase.

,

The Callaway Jaws Raw and MD5 Jaws are very similar, the Jaws Raw is just the newer version. It has a straighter leading edge, but most noticeably, it doesn't come with a finish. As a result, it will produce more spin over time.

,

The Callaway Jaws Raw wedge replaced the Callaway MD5 Jaws wedge and several improvements were made in this new model. The biggest difference is in the name, the Raw face. There is no plating on the face of the Jaws Raw wedges so the entire wedge face will rust as it is exposed to moisture. Another big change is the introduction of tungsten weighting and which increased overall feel and control. These added features in the Callaway Jaws Raw wedges make them superior to the prior generation Callaway MD5 Jaws wedges.

,

The Jaws Raw is a much better feeling iron than the MD5. It also now has the raw face which will rust over time giving golfers optimal spin characteristics. It also has a little more weight on the top half of the club, making it more forgiving and easier to flight shots.
