Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You want the most accurate, consistent tour wedge with elite spin, a grind for every condition and a soft milled feel - the best wedge of 2023.
You want the softest possible mishit feel or a clean chrome finish with no upkeep - the raw face rusts and mishits firm up.
Pros
- MyGolfSpy Best Wedge of 2023 - highest for accuracy and consistency
- Elite, ultra-consistent spin - over 10,000 rpm on full shots with only a few hundred rpm of variation, and around 50% less wet-spin loss
- Seven sole grinds - the most TaylorMade has offered, from Standard to the Tiger Grind
- A Progressive Toe Pad gives a lower, more consistent flight with predictable launch
Cons
- Mishits feel firmer than centre strikes
- The raw face rusts over time - it needs a little maintenance
- The newest grinds (LBV/SBC/HBW) are limited to 58° and 60°
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongMore forgiving than past MGs - the Progressive Toe Pad gives a lower, more consistent ball flight with predictable launch even from pure to slightly thin strikes, and seven sole grinds including a high-bounce wide option add margin. Still a players' wedge, but the most usable of the milled line.
Distance
ExcellentBest for accuracy and consistency - named the best wedge of 2023, highest for accuracy and consistency, cutting wet-spin loss by around 50%, with over 10,000 rpm on full swings and only a few hundred rpm of variation on good strikes. Elite, ultra-repeatable distance control.
Workability
ExcellentThe most grinds yet - seven sole grinds, Standard, Low and High Bounce plus LBV, SBC, HBW and the Tiger Grind, the most TaylorMade has offered, with the Standard Bounce excellent on full shots and chips. Among the most versatile milled wedges for shaping and matching turf.
Feel
ExcellentSoft on center, firmer on the miss - a soft feel with a crisp thud on pure strikes, mishits firming up but staying acceptable, the milled construction giving a clean, controlled impact. Excellent on center, honest on the miss.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp thud - a crisp thud at impact, a clean, controlled note from the milled construction. A satisfying, low-volume acoustic.
Looks at address
ExcellentLooks great in the bag - an attractive dark green paint fill and the milled sole as a visual trademark, with a sleek, modern chrome finish. A clean, premium tour profile.
