TaylorMade today unveiled the fourth iteration of its high-toe-peaked Hi-Toe wedges, appropriately named Hi-Toe 4.

“Hi-Toe wedges are a great option for any player who gains confidence from a wedge with a larger face and full-face grooves to ensure maximum spin regardless of where you strike it on the face,” said Matt Bovee, Global Category Director – Irons and Wedges at TaylorMade. “Now with Spin Tread Raw face technology and a new array of grinds, the Hi-Toe 4 has more performance and versatility than ever before.”

TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4 wedges: Key technology

• Larger toe mass pad: Increased in size from Hi-Toe 3, the larger pad makes the Hi-Toe 4 more forgiving.
• Elevated CG: Owing in part to the toe pad Hi-Toe 4 wedges feature an elevated center of gravity for penetrating flight with maximum spin.
• Spin Tread technology: Debuted on Milled Grind 4 wedges, Spin Tread makes its way to Hi-Toe wedges for the first time. Per TaylorMade, “the addition of this cutting-edge face finish not only promotes increased friction and spin, it also displaces moisture in wet conditions.”
• Full face grooves on higher lofts: For maximum shotmaking creativity and control
• Raw finish: Glare-reducing, tour-preferred look — plus a gold bottom groove for ease of alignment

All Terrain grinds

TaylorMade is offering Hi-Toe 4 wedges in five machine-milled “All Terrain grinds,” which are design to span the entire spectrum of playing conditions.

TaylorMade’s description of each grind below.

All Terrain Standard Grind (ATS): “The most versatile and all-encompassing of the Hi-Toe 4 grinds is the ATS. It’s suitable for players that prefer a neutral face angle at address, fits all swing types, and can be used in a wide variety of playing conditions. Its increased four-way camber allows for liberal face manipulation and gives golfers plenty of options to hit different shots with both an open and closed clubface. The ATS grind is available in the full menu of lofts ranging from 50° to 60°.”

All Terrain Versatility Grind (ATV): “Golfers with shallow angles of attack or that play off tight, firm turf are going to benefit from this asymmetric bounce and concave sole. This multifunctional design and increased effective bounce in the open face position allow for plenty of face manipulation and shot versatility. The ATV grind comes in lofts of 56°, 58° and 60°.”

All Terrain XTRA Grind (ATX): “The ATX grind is a new grind that uses three independent sole surfaces to create a multifunctional, wider sole that plays with mid-range bounce. The leading edge prevents digging while the midsole ensures stability, and the aggressive trailing edge fosters a quick exit from the turf. Loft options in the ATX grind are 56°, 58°and 60°.”

All Terrain C Grind (ATC): “The ATC grind offers our lowest bounce option with its unique, reverse C-sole design. Noticeable heel and toe relief make this grind a trusted choice for shallow players and firm conditions. The ATC grind is available in both 58° and 60° lofts.”

All Terrain Wide Grind (ATW): “Featuring the widest sole and the most forgiving profile in the Hi-Toe 4 family, the ATW grind is designed to inspire ultimate confidence for golfers that seek clean, consistent contact. The ATW grind’s wide sole and high effective bounce help prevent the leading edge from digging into the turf and are especially beneficial in soft, wet conditions. The wide sole is also great for players that struggle making consistent contact out of the sand. In the ATW grind, loft choices are 56°, 58° and 60°.”
