It should say 60.11 PM or something like that on the hosel. If I remember correctly all X-Tour 60.11's had the PM grind. The 60.09's without the MD grooves did not have the PM grind.[/quote] Thanks a lot for the help. I just had a good look on the internet and I found out that all the lefty wedges with 60/11 have the pm grind like u said. Thanks!!!!! :mrgreen: Gary Lewis said on October 3, 2009:

Truly great wedges.. the 50 is my favorite club. When I throw a ball at the green with my 60 , it stops cold. Took a while to get used to hitting the ball right to flag instead of playing for some run, but it was worth it to have my playing partners express their amazment. "Wow, what was that ?" " That ? Well, that was a Titleist being eaten alive !" Yup, destroys the ball everytime. I called Callaway and told them it was costing me a ball every shot. Just absolutely takes off strips of the cover. They said to hit 1000 shots and it would be fine. So, I hit a 1000 shots. Tore the yellow cover of many a practice ball. It did not help. Callaway sent me a new 60 MD wedge for free. Same problem. Yes, maybe the Callaway ball is a little tougher, but not much. So now, I carry a 60 degree Cleveland for fun play and to save balls! I put the X in the bag when I am playing for real. I need some money for new balls but the wedge really works. Does Phil tear up a ball each time he hits his wedge ? Cran C :razz: I purchased the X wedges, 50,56 and the 60 MD.

In the X-Forged, I now have the 50-12, the 56-14 MD (bent to 55), and the 60-10 MD C-Grind. They are all awesome! Since my original reply in June of '08 my index was 13. I know have my index down to 10. I guess it's not much, but I am hoping for a few more shots lower this coming season. The X-Forged wedges were a great help in lowering my index. I also switched from Pro-V1x to the Callaway Tour ix. The Tour ix seems to tolerate the X-Forged MD grooves better that the Pro-V1's.[/quote] Rich G said on March 28, 2009:

Since it's winter I ave only been able to hit these wedges indoors, but after reading your comments am looking forward to seeing how these spin the ball.

I play the vintage 52 and 56 wedges from Callaway and absolutely love them. So much that I am now looking for the vintage X tour 60degree to replace my 59 degree Vokey which does have some glare from the finish (i also have the 60 degree lob wedge from a set of X-18 irons but hated it). I like the weighting of the X Tours and looking down at that bronze-look finish. I really think it has taken strokes off my game as birdies are now a realistic putt vs just getting to the green as I had been before.
