Gear: TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4 wedges
Price: $179.99 each with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue 115 shafts and Lamkin Crossline 360 grips
Specs: Cast and milled 8620 carbon steel body with raw-steel hitting area, five sole grinds, and lofts from 50 to 60 degrees
Available: NOW

Who it’s for: Golfers who want more spin and more versatility on greenside shots.

What you should know: TaylorMade is now offering its high-toe wedges in five sole grinds, so golfers who like the copper finish and the idea of a larger hitting area on open-face shots can also find a sole grind that matches the conditions they typically confront.

The Deep Dive: There was a time when a wedge with an extra-high toe section raised eyebrows and was seen as a novelty, but those days are long gone. Over the last several seasons, many of the game’s elite players have added a high-toe wedge (or two) to their bags to handle unique conditions, and recreational golfers have accepted high-toe wedges too.

TaylorMade debuted its first Milled Grind Hi-Toe wedges back in 2018 and has updated them regularly. With the release of the fourth generation of Hi-Toe wedges, the Carlsbad, California-based equipment maker is now coupling the design benefits of high-toe wedges with more sole grinds than ever before.

The advantage and appeal of a high-toe wedge for many golfers is the ability to open the face and slide the leading edge under the ball while having an extra portion of the hitting area available. It’s confidence-inspiring, and with a hitting area covered from heel to toe by 20 grooves, TaylorMade feels it can give players of every level more options and shots around the green.

Each Hi-Toe 4 wedge is cast using soft 8620 carbon steel and given an aged copper finish that will mature and patina over time. However, the hitting area is un-chromed and unfinished, so the raw steel is exposed. Over time and with exposure to water and air, the face will rust and create a natural anti-glare coloring that many golfers love. The grooves extend over the entire hitting area in the 56, 58 and 60-degree wedges, but to make the hitting area appear more iron-like in the 50 and 52-degree gap wedges, the grooves do not extend to the end of the heel and toe areas.

Between the main grooves, TaylorMade has added a new laser-etched Spin Trend microgroove pattern. In dry conditions, the Spin Trend does not do much, but in wet conditions, it adds more places where water can be removed from the hitting area to increase spin consistency.

The Hi-Toe 4 gap wedges, sand wedges and lob wedges each have a hollowed-out area low in the back heel, with the mass repositioned high behind the toe. This helps to shift the center of gravity (CG) location up, aiding golfers in hitting lower, more precise shots for enhanced distance control.

The most significant update to the TaylorMade Hi-Toe wedges in their fourth generation is the availability of five different sole grinds to help golfers find wedges better matched to their playing style and the conditions they face.

[afflinkbutton text=”Shop TM Hi-Toe 4 wedges” link=”https://worldwidegolfshops.pxf.io/AWz3bN”]

ATS Grind: This is the all-terrain standard grind, and it is meant to be an all-purpose design that can be used in a variety of conditions. The ATS Grind is available in lofts from 50 to 60 degrees.

ATV Grind: This sole profile has been in the TaylorMade lineup in years past. It has a concave sole and asymmetric bounce that makes it ideal for shallow-swinging players and golfers who play in firmer conditions despite having 11 degrees of measured bounce. The ATV Grind is available in lofts from 56 to 60 degrees.

ATX Grind: This is a new grind for TaylorMade and features a wide design with three distinct areas. The leading edge is beveled, followed by a flat midsection and an aggressive trailing edge. The wedge sole and 12 degrees of bounce should make it ideal in bunkers but surprisingly useful on fairway lies. The ATX Grind is available in lofts from 56 to 60 degrees.

ATC Grind: This is a classic C grind wedge with significant heel and toe relief. The sole is narrower, and the ATC has only 8 degrees of bounce, so it is meant for skilled players in firm conditions. The ATC Grind is available in 58- and 60-degree versions.

ATW Grind: The ATW stands for all-terrain wide, and this wedge has the widest sole of any Hi-Toe 4 offering. With 14 degrees of bounce, it is the most forgiving wedge in the family and is designed to handle soft turf, fluffy sand and thick greenside rough. The ATW Grind is available in lofts from 56 to 60 degrees.

Tiger Woods’ rusty wedges at the 2024 British Open are insane

Tiger arrived at Royal Troon’s Old Course with rusty TaylorMade wedges.

Tiger Woods has returned to Royal Troon for the first time in 20 years and is preparing to complete in this week’s British Open. Woods was injured in 2016 and missed that event, but finished T-9 back in 2004 when Todd Hamilton won at the seaside links.

On Monday, Tiger Woods’ wedges were so covered in rust that it appeared they might have been in his bag back in 2004, too.

While the standard TaylorMade MG4 wedges have a raw steel hitting area, most wedges that you see in pro shops are gleaming and spotless because all the steel has been covered by a chrome plating. Tiger, like many tour pros, opts to use wedges that are made completely with raw steel.

Woods, specifically, plays a TaylorMade MG4 Raw 56-degree sand wedge and and 60-degree lob wedge. Both clubs are fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts and have Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord grips. The sand wedge has 12 degrees of bounce and the lob wedge has 11 degrees of bounce, and both are made using 8620 carbon steel.

After raw steel wedges are made, they are immediately wrapped in an airtight plastic coating that is removed before a player starts using them because with exposure to air and moisture, un-chromed steel starts to rust.

While it’s unclear whether the wedges Tiger is using at Royal Troon are prototypes or not, marking on the hosel clearly show they were manufacturerd for him about within the last few months. Given the level of rust, if they were wrapped up and sealed, it wasn’t for very long because the salt air of Woods’s home state of Florida has done a number on them.

Why is Tiger using a rusty wedge and why do pros like raw steel wedges?

There are a few reasons why pros often request raw steel wedges instead of going with chrome wedges.

First, unlike chrome which shines brightly in the sun, even new raw steel wedges do not reflect light as harshly and reduce glare.

Second, while rust will not massively increase the spin-generating power of a wedge, it has been shown to slightly improve performance in wet conditions by providing more surface roughness in the hitting area compared to chrome.

Finally, the biggest reason why pros often request raw steel wedges is if hand grinding or polishing are needed, raw steel hides the marks created by the grinding wheel. Over time, the sanded area will rust and look like the rest of the club, but if a chromed wedge is ground, the area that comes into contact with the wheel will rust while the chrome area will remain shiny, leaving a mark that most players don’t like.

Is this new for Tiger?

This is not the first time that Tiger Woods has arrived at a tournament with rusty wedges. In 2019, Golfweek senior writer David Dusek photographed Tiger’s equipment at Liberty National Golf Club and captutred the images of Woods’s TaylorMade Milled Grind lob wedge in the photo above. The more Tiger uses the wedges, the more the light layer of rust could in the hitting area will wear away. Repeatedly cleaning the wedges and wiping them with a towel will also reduce the rust.

TaylorMade does sell MG4 Tiger Woods Grind wedges for $199.99 on its website.

Best golf wedges you can buy in 2024

Check out Golfweek’s list of the best golf wedges available to purchase in 2024.

Wedges are the most confusing and intimidating golf club category because there are so many options to choose from and many players don’t really understand how to properly use wedges to hit chip shots, bunker shots, flop shops and pitch shots. They hear terms like bounce, sole grind, heel and toe relief and camber and nod, but in the back of their minds they are thinking, “What the hell does that mean?”

To make matters worse, iron lofts have become stronger over the last decade, with many game-improvement sets coming with a 9-iron that has a loft of around 38 degrees and a pitching wedge at 42 degrees. If a recreational golfer has a 56-degree sand wedge, which is typical, that’s a 14-degree gap between wedges, which can put you in between clubs on lots of short game shots.

To reduce the intimidation factor and help golfers find the right wedges more easily, many manufacturers have developed online fitting tools. With just a few clicks to tell these systems about your game and the conditions you encounter on the course, they can provide you with club, loft and sole grind recommendations.

Of course, the best way to discover your ideal wedges is to work in-person with a custom fitter who can evaluate your performance with several different wedges.

The list below is intended to act as an educational starting point and help you get familiar with the most popular wedges and the clubs you will likely see in pro shops and golf specialty stores right now.

Discover how TaylorMade MG4 wedges create more spin

TaylorMade MG4 wedges excel in wet conditions and generate loads of spin.

Gear: TaylorMade MG4 wedges
Price: $179.99 each with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue 115 Wedge shaft and Lamkin Crossline 360 grip.
Specs: Cast 8620 carbon steel with a raw-steel hitting area and seven different milled sole grinds. Even lofts from 46 degrees to 60 degrees.
Available: NOW

[mm-video type=video id=01h7zqhwhjdyz44ajasw playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01h7zqhwhjdyz44ajasw/01h7zqhwhjdyz44ajasw-39e57d2f11345c88391d3f163a4a2a71.jpg]

Who It’s For: Golfers who want more shortgame spin, especially in wet conditions, along with several sole grind options.

The Skinny: TaylorMade designed a new surface-roughening pattern to the raw steel face of the MG4 wedges to help golfers create more spin, especially in wet conditions. That spin, combined with more sole grind options, should create more shortgame versatility for golfers.

The Deep Dive: While TaylorMade’s driver designers work hard to create low-spinning options to help golfers hit straighter, longer tee shots, wedge makers constantly seek ways to increase spin. Around the greens, the more spin players can generate on chips, pitch shots and approach shots, the more control they have over the golf ball. With the release of the new MG4 wedges (Milled Grind 4), TaylorMade feels that it has the highest-spinning, most versatile family of wedges yet, which should lead to more short-game options for golfers.

Each MG4 wedge ships with a sticker that covers the hitting area. It is designed to be peeled off after you buy the club because, while the chromed back and hosel are exposed, the raw steel hitting area will start to rust with exposure to air and moisture.

The MG3 wedges that TaylorMade released two years ago featured Raised Micro-Ribs between each of the main grooves. Those are gone, replaced in the MG4 with a new surface-roughening pattern that TaylorMade calls Spin Tread. TaylorMade uses a laser to etch the design at a 45-degree angle to the central grooves, and if you rub your thumb back and forth over the hitting area, you can feel how scratchy the hitting area is compared to the smooth chrome areas of the head.

[afflinkbutton text=”Shop TM MG4 wedges” link=”https://globalgolf.pxf.io/y29RmV”]

However, the Spin Trend design’s most significant advantage is revealed in wet conditions. The laser-etched pattern allows water to get off the face more effectively, so on shots you play from fairways that are damp with morning dew and from wet rough, the MG4 is designed to help you generate more spin. Compared to the MG3 wedge it replaces, TaylorMade’s research showed the MG4 creates a nearly-identical spin rate on 56-degree pitch shots but almost 1,000 rpm more spin in wet conditions with a slightly lower launch angle. That means the ball slides up the face less in wet conditions and retains more spin, which should translate to more control and consistency.

TaylorMade’s research also showed engineers that the Spin Trend helped increase spin durability compared to the Raised Micro-Ribs in the MG3.

To enhance feel, TaylorMade thickened the back flange, the lower portion of the head directly behind the hitting area and removed mass from high in the toe. The tweaks are subtle, but staff players like Collin Morikawa and Rory McIlroy said the impact feels softer, deeper and more solid when compared with MG3.

Finally, TaylorMade is still milling the sole of each MG4 wedge to increase the manufacturing consistency from club to club, but now the brand is offering several more sole-grind options.

TaylorMade is still offering its standard four sole grind options, along with three new sole grinds:

Low Bounce: 56-60 degrees of loft with 8 degrees of bounce
Standard Bounce: 46-60 degrees of loft and 9-11 degrees of bounce
High Bounce: 54-60 degrees of loft with 12-14 degrees of bounce
Tiger Woods Grind: 56 and 60 degrees of loft with 11-12 degrees of bounce
(NEW) Standard Bounce C-Grind: The new SBC comes as a 58- and 60-degree lob wedge with 9 degrees of bounce. It is designed with extra bounce and curvature (camber) in the middle, with heel, toe and trailing-edge relief.
(NEW) Low-Bounce V Grind: Available as a 58- and 60-degree lob wedge, the LBV has 7 degrees of bounce and is ideally suited to players with a shallow attack angle and who play in firm conditions. Scottie Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood have tested this model, and it requires precision.
(NEW) High-Bounce W Grind: The HBW comes as a 58- and 60-degree lob wedge with 13 degrees of bounce. It has the widest sole of any MG4 wedge, making it the most forgiving choice in soft conditions, greenside bunkers and deep rough.

Here are several close-up looks at the new TaylorMade MG4 wedges.

TaylorMade MG4 wedges spotted at 2023 Travelers Championship

TaylorMade staffers like Collin Morikawa had their first chance to try TaylorMade’s new Milled Grind 4 wedges at the Travelers Championship.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01es6rjnsp3c84zkm6 player_id=none image=]

CROMWELL, Conn. — It has been almost two years since TaylorMade released the Milled Grind 3 (MG3) wedges, so it should not be a surprise that the Carlsbad, California-based equipment maker is ready to come out with new short-game tools for staff players like Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Nelly Korda and Tommy Fleetwood.

Tuesday in the practice area at TPC River Highlands, site of this week’s Travelers Championship, Golfweek spotted Morikawa hard at work with several TaylorMade PGA Tour reps. When the two-time major winner wasn’t testing with Stealth 2 driver heads, he was trying new Milled Grind 4 (MG4) wedges that TaylorMade has brought to the PGA Tour for the first time.

TaylorMade representatives are not sharing details about the wedges yet, but in-hand photos and observations reveal a few things.

At least three sole grinds. Golfweek saw wedges marked S, LB and HB, which typically stands for standard, low bounce and high bounce.
New surface roughening. The MG3 wedges were designed with a series of raised micro-ribs in the raw steel hitting area, but the MG4 wedges do not have them. Instead, there are microgrooves running at a 45-degree angle to the main grooves. If a golfer opens the face of the MG4 wedges, the microgrooves square to the target line and likely provide extra friction for added spin.
Lots of milling. As the name implies, the MG4 wedges have a milled sole from the toe to the heel. Milling requires a computer to direct a fast-spinning bit to pass back and forth across the club, shaving off tiny pieces of material to create the exact shape that designers request. It is the most-precise method of manufacturing and helps TaylorMade ensure that the sole configurations are the same on every club.

Below are in-hand images of TaylorMade’s yet-to-be-released Milled Grind 4 wedges:

TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 wedges

The updated Hi-Toe has a raw-steel hitting area, micro-ribs between the grooves and a milled sole.

Gear: TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 wedges
Price: $179 each with KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 shaft and Lamkin Crossline 360 Round grip.
Specs: Cast 8620 stainless steel with raw-steel hitting area and milled sole. Even lofts from 50 to 60 degrees.

Who it’s For: Golfers looking for increased spin and a larger hitting area on open-faced shots around the greens.

The Skinny: With a high-toe design and raw hitting area that has raised microgrooves, TaylorMade’s newest wedges were made to allow golfers more short-game versatility and increased spin.

The Deep Dive: Last summer, TaylorMade released the Milled Grind 3 (MG3) wedges designed to appeal to golfers who prefer a traditional-looking short-game tool, and the company has offered other styles of wedges for years. The most popular of those clubs has been 2018’s Milled Grind Hi-Toe, a copper-finished wedge with (as the name implies) a higher toe section to go along with a CNC-milled sole design. Over the years, several notable TaylorMade staff players have used the Hi-Toe wedges, including Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy. With the release of the new Hi-Toe 3 wedges, TaylorMade brings some of the features of the MG3 to the high-toed world.

TaylorMade has had success with its two main wedge options, the Milled Grind 2 (MG2) and Hi-Toe, both on professional tours and with recreational players. So before designers set about trying to make the next generation of TaylorMade wedges, they talked with elite golfers and staff players and asked what they liked and what they wanted to see adjusted. The result is the new Milled Grind 3 (MG3) family of wedges, and their focus is on helping golfers at every level generate more spin and control on wedge shots hit from the fairway and around the green.

TaylorMade MG2 TW wedges

Tiger Woods uses a unique grind on his sand wedge and TaylorMade is now making the club available to the public.

Gear: TaylorMade MG2 TW Grind wedges
Price: $200 each
Specs: Carbon steel body with a raw steel face, milled sole, vibration-dampening insert and laser-etched, surface-roughening pattern. 56 and 60 degrees.
Available: Sept. 4 via custom order

Many professional golfers travel to tournaments with several extra wedges in their bag so they can modify their setup to match the course conditions. If the sand is fluffy and the turf is soft, they go with higher-bounces wedges, but when conditions are firm, lower-bounce wedges can perform better.

Tiger Woods is not one of those players. The 15-time major winner brings the same wedges to every event. The Big Cat has a secret, however, and now with the release of the TaylorMade MG2 TW Grind wedges, you can too.

Tiger’s wedges have a unique grind configuration on the sole. It allows the clubs to have lots of bounce in the square position but play with less bounce when he opens the face and adds loft.

TaylorMade MG2 TW wedges — The soles of the MG2 TW wedges have three distinct sections. (David Dusek/Golfweek)

This is accomplished by creating three distinct areas on the sole. The portion directly behind the leading edge is narrow and has 25 degrees of bounce. But even with that much bounce, the leading edge remains only 5.3 millimeters off the ground, which is lower than most high-bounce wedges.

Behind that area, the center of the sole has a narrow section with 12 degrees of bounce and significant relief in the heel and toe areas. When the face opens and a player adds more loft, the leading edge can stay down, making tight lies more manageable.

Finally, the trailing edge has significant camber, allowing the club to exit the turf smoothly.

While the back of the club has a chrome finish, the hitting area lacks chrome plating. Instead, the raw steel is exposed, and with exposure to air and moisture, it will rust in time. According to TaylorMade’s research, a raw steel hitting area allows golfers to spin the ball more in wet conditions, making shots more consistent and predictable.

Finally, to enhance the sound and feel created at impact, the MG2 TW Grind wedge has a thermoplastic polyurethane insert in the back of each head to absorb excessive vibrations.

TaylorMade launches MyMG2 custom wedge program

Pros love adding initials, funny sayings and icons to wedges. TaylorMade is letting recreational golfers get in on the personalized fun.

Elite golfers are finicky about the way their clubs look and perform. Club makers don’t even bother taking new gear to pros if they think the pros will not like how it looks in the address position.

However, many pros are open to tricking out their gear and showing some style if it stays hidden when they stand over the ball, making the back of wedges a prime canvas for initials, stamps, logos and splashes of color.

With the launch of the new MyMG2 program, TaylorMade offers recreational golfers a chance to personalize their Milled Grind 2 wedges, too.

TaylorMade MyMG2 wedges — The MyMG2 program allows golfers to add text, icons and colors to their clubs. (TaylorMade)

Golfers who visit TaylorMade’s website can build a wedge by going through a series of pulldown menus and making selections. After picking the club’s loft (48-60 degrees) and finish (chrome, black, raw or cobalt nickel), the personalization ramps up.

Players can add initials, text or logos, then choose how those characters and icons appear in the open area on the back of the clubhead. Then they get to pick the paint fill colors for the Milled Grind logo, the TaylorMade logo, the loft and bounce numbers, their personalized text and even the three rings on the hosel. Finally, players select their desired shaft, grip and club length.

Each personalized club costs $225 and features the same technologies and design elements found in the standard Milled Grind 2 wedges. After the 8620 carbon steel heads are cast, a CNC milling machine passes a tiny, high-speed spinning tool over the sole and leading edge. This process helps TaylorMade control the shaping of the wedge more precisely. At the same time, a thermoplastic polyurethane insert in the back of each head absorbs excessive vibrations to enhance feel.

While the standard MG2 wedge has chrome plating over most of the body, the grooved hitting area is left raw and will rust after being exposed to air and moisture. The MyMG2 wedges will do the same thing. The Raw finished wedges will rust everywhere because they have no chrome plating on the heads.
