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.
