[Music] Welcome to the 2025 Windham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. The vibes at the Windham Championship are fantastic for the fans, including a sandbar beach lounge equipped with a handcarved sand castle. [Music] Cold drinks with live music inside the Margaritaville tent. food trucks and your favorite PGA Tour players such as Jordan Speacting and signing autographs. As for Sedgefield itself, it’s a beautiful layout with an historical background and an absolutely massive clubhouse. At the last event before the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs, the Windham Championship is a great place to watch some PGA Tour golf. But here at golfwx.com, we know what you’re really here for. You’re here for the gear. And there was plenty of action on the equipment front this week. First up, this week was the official tour launch of the Tailor-Made MG5 wedges, and we got an inhand look at Luke Clinton’s 54° wedge and 58° wedge. We also spotted the new models in the bags of Nick Dunlap and Aaron Wise, just to name a few. Tailorade’s longtime wedge guru, Greg Cesario, was on site this week, fitting PGA Tour players into the new Tailor-Made wedges on Wednesday. He also took some time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions for golfwx.com this week. So, we know you’ve been working with the players. What’s been the feedback so far from them? Yeah, this is this is a nice extension of when we first showed the MG Proto to staffers at the memorial. That’s when we launched it. So, this is been a wonderful buildup of two two and a half months of great feedback and kind of wetting their appetite a little bit of what was to come with the final product with MG5. And, you know, just immediately we heard and saw unbelievable feel, excellent spin conditions, um some subtle profile changes that we made on some of our lofts and our bounces and grinds that have just been accepted wonderfully. So really excited about how the initial adoption has been. It’s been quick. It’s been easy and um and all we could ask for. Who are some players that you’ve worked with this week and who do you think might actually be making the change? Yeah, it’s the players that we worked with at Memorial. Obviously, this is a little different field than what we started with at the memorial. So, it was a great opportunity for me to come out with Carl Phillips cuz I didn’t get to work with him at Memorial and that was one of the best testing sessions we had this week. um just because he never went through like a hardcore wedge fitting before. and we took him over to the short game area, spent an hour with him over there testing different grinds cuz this he’s been playing the MG Proto, but he kind of went through a evolution of where he got to with bounce over the last two months cuz he started with a low bounce design, which was great off of tight, bent grass, firm tour conditions, but we’re in different grass this week and probably some of the gnarliest grainy Bermuda. uh you’re going to see on tour and that requires a lot of attention to the wedge. You know, off of a full shot, it doesn’t matter as much, but when you get around the green, you better have great hands and you better have the right bounce design that fits your swing. So really spending time with him was eye opening for him because he went from a low bounce almost to a high bounce design this week just because of the grain and the ease of getting through the turf without any grab or resistance. Yeah. So it worked out great with him. Now I know you have a long history of wedge building and fitting. Um, from an education standpoint, what are some mistakes that you see amitters make with their wedges and how could they improve on that front? Well, I’ll be the first to tell you that most mistakes are technique driven before it is having the right bounce. The right bounce is going to help cover up some of the technique mistakes, but really having the bounce match what I would call the the arc of the swing. It’s not only angle of attack, it’s the depth of your arc, your low point, where that exists, and really the exit of the club. It it creates this paintbrush, this picture that really players have to understand. And that’s why you need to go get fit and spend time with a very well- educated wedge guy that knows and understands the wedge motion and putting the right grind and the right bounce to that wedge motion. It’s there’s there’s a lot of science there, but there’s some art. And when you come out here and work with these players, these guys are so good with their techniques, it actually makes it a little bit easier to work with a tour player with great hands than it is with a guy that’s not as efficient with his hands, I’m sure. Um, any closing thoughts on the MG5? Yeah, we’re excited of the quick adoption and uh we also went out and seated over 300 of our top staff professionals, club professionals in the country. They all have the MG Proto in their hands and they’re getting it in their members hands and they’re getting it out into the into the consumer hands early. So, when this launches to market in September, uh wheels are going to be turning pretty quick. Yeah, we’re excited for the launch and to learn more about the actual tech and the grinds and all that. So, we’re excited. More to come. Yeah. All right. Thanks. Thanks for the time, Greg. You’re welcome. What do you think about the new MG5 wedges? Leave your answer down in the comments section below. [Music] In other new equipment news, Scotty Cameron continued to bring out some new heat, including studio style putters with terillium faces, [Music] including a Newport [Music] a Newport too. [Music] [Music] A black Newport 2. [Music] A fast back [Music] and a fastback 1.5 [Music] [Music] as well as a Newport two with a GSS face [Music] and a Newport 2 with an SSS face. [Music] [Music] Speaking of Scotty Cameron, we also watched along as Chan Kim tested out their new experimental mallet putter and gave us his thoughts on the new offering. It kind of feels like I mean I guess it is an insert so it should feel like an insert but you I guess I do have the audio feedback still even though it’s coming off a little bit softer which is great cuz most most inserts like you either have an insert and it’s very very dull sounding and you don’t really get too much feedback or you know or you go the opposite and you just have a middle face and I can come off, you know, a bit hotter, but you’ll get more feedback. So, this I I feel like this just blends the two very well together, and it’s playing a good role on it. So, did you play it last week or first week with it? First week with it. Okay. So, it’s still I’m still kind of testing it, but so far so good. So, who knows? It might be in play. Yeah. You keep making the 30footers, it will be [Music] Lab Golf, who just sold for a mind-blowing $200 million, brought out a few new looks this week, including a DF3 with a bunch of alignment lines on the crown.
