Pure Spin in its Rawest Form - Breakdown of the Callaway Jaws Raw Grinds
To accompany last years new Jaws Raw Wedges, a line of clubs known for their ability to make the ball spin, Callaway have recently unveiled some new grinds.
A grind is a wedge that's had its sole manipulated or shaved in a way that material has been removed from it. In layman's terms bits have been 'grinded off' the wedge to not only enhance its visuals but also to improve its contact with the turf.
We breakdown all the new grinds on offer for the Jaw Raw Wedges:
