Just me, or does it look like they did some grinding on the leading edge on this?

I noticed that as well.

Will this finish rust or stay the same copper color the life of the wedge?

Great profile & I also like the finish.  How many grooves do they have on that wedge?

In the spirit of the cant see the back from address, I like it, but that being said I hate that finish. Satin and we're in business.

Looks like the copper is just a finish and not something more.  If that is the case and it is wearing away after so few ball strikes, it won't be in my bag.  Like the shape though.

Finish isn't wearing I don't think.  That is just a leading edge grind that he got done.  And to answer someone from above, no, these don't replace the Jaws, they are the long awaited replacement for the X-Forged wedges if I am not mistaken.  The Jaws will still be in the lineup this year.  I think they look good, but I love the slate finish on the Jaws, I won't be making my decision until I see them in person though.

Looks really nice actually. I'm waiting to see what the black chrome ones look like too.

I've seen these wedges and they are pretty sexy. To those of you not a fan of the copper, I think the chrome ones look way nicer. Also, the copper finish will wear and get shinier at impact areas.

Look great.  These will be a good replacement for my X-tours next season.  Is it just me or is Callaway stepping it up in the looks department?

Tour Department designed them to wear per feedback from the Tour Players.
Wont be this new or shiny looking for very long.
Copper plated.

Not really, JAWS wedges will still be available in 2012 just with fewer loft/bounce offerings, these are more a long overdue replacement for X Forged.

I like the copper finish and the headshape is pretty nice as well, hope the leading edge is as straight on the retail ones and not only a tour van grind.

hey all: These look really nice and the copper finish is sweet. Just curious why didn't the x-series jaws wedges catch on with the pro's? Thanks  :coolpics:

Look a lot better than the x-forged wedges of the past.  Hopefully they feel softer as well.
