Milled Grind 3 TW
CaddyIndex™ breakdown: what our research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're a skilled ball-striker who wants Tiger Woods' exact 56° and 60° grinds on the highest-spinning milled wedge platform.
You need a full gapping set or forgiveness - this is a two-club, tour-spec specialist.
Pros
- Tiger Woods' personal grinds on the elite MG3 platform - one of the highest-spinning wedges tested (9,185 rpm pitch, 11,659 rpm full)
- Versatile Tiger grinds - a dual-sole 56° and a flop-friendly 60° with leading-edge relief
- Soft, solid micro-ribbed milled feel with a minimalistic look
- A raw face that rusts to preserve spin, while the rest of the head keeps a premium finish
Cons
- Only two lofts (56° and 60°) - not a full gapping set
- Tour-spec and demanding - built for the best players, with little forgiveness
- Costs more than the standard MG3
By dimension
Forgiveness
Built for the best players - the Tiger Woods grinds are built for one of the best players of all time, a demanding tour spec, and the platform is explicitly not a forgiving design. Little margin for error, only the 56° and 60° lofts.
Distance
Elite, ultra-high spin - one of the highest spin rates in recent years, 9,185 rpm on a 50-yard pitch and 11,659 rpm on a full shot, with the ability to grab the ball from 35 yards and the consistent mid-flight of the MG3 platform. Among the very best for distance control.
Workability
Tiger's versatile grinds on the elite platform - the 56° dual sole with heavy heel relief and the 60° with high leading-edge bounce and a shaved heel for flops and tight lies, plus tour-preferred shaping for shot-making. Highly workable within its two lofts.
Feel
Soft, solid, precise - the platform's soft and solid milled feel, like a strong, gentle hand picking up the ball, with precise feedback and an extremely soft milled construction. Among the better milled-wedge feels.
Sound
Quiet and refined - the platform's very quiet impact, closer to a thud than a click, the milled construction giving a soft, understated note. A premium, low-volume acoustic.
Looks at address
Minimalistic and clean - testers praised the minimalistic look, with a slightly compact teardrop and a beautiful, smooth back. A clean, tour-preferred profile, with the raw face rusting while the rest keeps a premium finish.
