Callaway X-Tour wedge

Lovely design and good weighting make the X-Tour a strong performer for the full range of short game shots. A lot of spin on full shots but not so much from the bunker, which, given that most of us come up short from sand, is no bad thing.
Why you can trust Golf Monthly

The slightly concave sole has a Phil Mickelson-inspired grind, designed to boost playability by helping you get the leading edge further under the ball before it leaves the clubface for extra control.
