Taylormade Hi - Toe / Raw

[Shankster]

I am really enjoying Taylormade's product cycle for this season.

 

First the 770's, and 750's. Then the 790's and 730's.

 

Then the high toe wedge, and black milled grind.

 

Now, a milled grind raw?

 

They might have just won me back, I put my old TM wedges back in the bag. The only non TM products are the G, and the putter. Start and finish my par 4's and 5's with a PING.

Raw, that's awesome.

Look forward to hitting these.

I love raw wedges. And it is great to see Taylormade release these. I can't do a chromed head as wedges take such a pounding, Raw is the way to go. 

[Shankster]

I am waiting for the custom shop to get these for customization. Then I will be ordering a 56° and 60°.

I like my current wedges but TM is making a run at trying to replace them

Anyone who watch The Memorial on Friday witnessed Tiger eagle par 5 with his TM MG wedge! #ShotOfTheDay

“ Taylormade MG Wedge “

Saw some interesting notes on Tiger's wedges:

 

--- Working directly with master craftsman Mike Taylor — who worked at Nike Golf with Woods — Demkowski received numerous grinds to study before settling on a grind for both wedges that was machined in-house.

--- The one-off "TW grind" on Woods' 56-degree wedge is a dual sole with heavy heel relief. The sole has 12 degrees of overall bounce but 24 degrees in the leading edge.

The 60-degree is even more complex with 34 degrees of bounce in the leading edge, which, according to Demkowski, is "really substantial." The overall bounce is 11 degrees with a shaved heel that measures just four degrees, making it possible open the face for extreme flop shots.

--- Aside from the specific grinds, Woods' heads are made from carbon steel instead of the stainless steel used for most of TaylorMade's Tour staff.

So they are stamping carbon steel on them. Are they stainless or carbon steel?

 

Says “Carbon Steel” right on the hosel.

I wondered the same thing but the article didn't say. Can't imagine the tour guys would want stainless steel instead of carbon.

[Shankster]

Well I'm finally getting rid of those cobra wedges. I'll be replacing them with some of these beauts.

And

 

60° “Dead Eye”

[Shankster]

Well that sucks. No upgrades or loft/lie angle adjustments. FAIL

The MG are great wedges! I had a set of the chrome last year. The glare and shiniest was a buzz kill! I couldn't stand them. At that time you couldn't get the bronze or black. I swore I'd never play TM wedges again until they come out with Raw for the public.

Crap looks like my SM7's will be going!

Going to bump this.

 

Any plans for a Hi-Toe 56 maybe?

[Kenny B]

I would consider a 54.

[Shankster]

I would consider a 54.

Yeah that too. I think with the higher CG on these and the PM grind they'd actually work out well for a lot of players. Especially the ones who it it a fraction higher on the face and launch their wedges high and short.

 

I need to find a place to demo them.

[Shankster]

Well. Taylormade seemed to want to capitalize on the Hi Toe... this is not good for me.

I game the MG in 52/56/60. I love them. Very versatile and have a great touch/ feel. I am very happy with them.

The difference between carbon steel and stainless steel is the content of carbon? stainless has more carbon in the steel but this is only tenths of a percent more.

For anyone interested in the Hi Toe... this is a beaut. They are available for pre order.

Carbon contents are about the same.  Varies from 0.2 - 2%

Stainless steel has 10.5 - 15% Chromium.  

Lots of different alloys for each.

[Shankster]

Really wish I could demo the Hi Toe. Maybe I'm in need of a trip near a PGA SuperStore
