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' current 56° and 60° grinds with the softest forged feel and class-leading spin.
You need a full gapping set or forgiveness - this is a two-club, tour-spec specialist.
Pros
- Tiger Woods' refined grind on the first fully-forged Milled Grind - a dramatically softer feel
- Saw-milled grooves at the legal limit and Spin Tread - 13% more spin than the MG4 in the wet
- An updated TW grind - more camber and a bounce-forward 60° for versatility across all turf
- A refined, premium tour look in Satin Chrome or Charcoal
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 MG5
By dimension
Forgiveness
Tour-spec and demanding - designed for skilled players with limited forgiveness, the TW grind built to a current tour preference in just two lofts. Increased heel bounce on the 60° helps a touch, but margin is modest.
Distance
Class-leading and consistent - the saw-milled grooves and Spin Tread give 13% more spin than the MG4 in the wet, with far lower dry-to-wet variation on the MG5 platform. Among the most repeatable wedges for distance control, wet or dry.
Workability
Tiger's versatile current grind - the updated TW grind is built around a desire for versatility, great for shallow divots and all turf conditions, with a traditional 56° and a bounce-forward 60° with more camber and aggressive trailing-edge relief. Among the most workable wedges within its two lofts.
Feel
The first forged MG, dramatically softer - the fully forged soft carbon steel gives a dramatically softer feel on the finesse shots, a first for the line, with a pleasant thwack and medium-soft feel and clear, precise feedback. Among the very best milled-wedge feels.
Sound
Forged and refined - a pleasant thwack on full swings moving toward a softer click greenside, the forged construction giving a clean, premium note. A satisfying, refined acoustic.
Looks at address
Fantastic and refined - the MG5 looks fantastic with a sleek, refined, inviting tour look, a minimalist aesthetic aligned with the premium P-Series irons, in Satin Chrome or Charcoal. Among the best-looking wedges in golf.
