Let’s talk about Taylormade’s grinded wedges. Despite being a multiple more sought after winner, they are probably one of the best stored secrets in Golf. Already in a good place, you will not blame Taylormade not to do much with the MG5 generation, but what we are seeing here are some of the most important model-model updates in the formation history.
Fake
It’s no secret that players love the gentle feeling associated with falsification and many mourn that many of the most popular wedges in the market are not counterfeit. So, you will surely be excited to learn that MG5 wedges are fully forged by soft carbon steel. Tayormade does the opportunity that, in addition to delivering that gentle feeling we all want, falsifying gives more consistency from one part to one than casting.
Of course, it is also true that there is a lot of milling that happens here – single, face, grooves, hosel – so Tayormade was already doing a lot to increase consistency.
Refined forms
There are some vagares here, but Tayormade has made some subtle changes in the form of MG5. What they describe as refined steering curvature and the updated topline mix make it look more symmetrical. Obviously tastes personal in the game but I have not always found them Mg series More attractive, so I’m optimistic these refinements will make the wedge a little more attractive – especially at the address.
Grooves associated with saws (because naming is everything)
Manufacturers like to name their grooves, so here you go: Taylormade has introduced “saw grooves”. The company claims that the updated geometry brings them closer to the USGA borders. They reach there through the steep walls, the sharper edge radiation, and the strongest tolerances.
This is reasonable boiler, in terms of groove claims; The benefit, as usual, has increased rotation.
In particular, the grooves are paired with what Tayormade calls the rotation rotation technology (I told you they like the name of the stuff). Taylormade says the new grooves between the grooves function like tire violations to channel moisture and improve friction, eventually increasing the rotation in wet conditions. According to Taylormade, MG5 holds 13 percent more rotation than its predecessor when moisture is inserted.
In the most sought after wedge test years, we have seen some very dramatic rotation returns after moisture is introduced, so we want to see it when manufacturers treat the head of the problem.
More grind options
When it comes to benefiting from your wedges as much as possible, the only grind is a critical and often overlooked factor. As we discussed countless times, finding the right wedge goes beyond the attic and dance. One size does not fit all, so it is encouraging for Taylormade to continue to extend its bids of quarrel.
Sb – You can do the opportunity that SB is grinding you choose when you are not sure what you quarrel to choose from. Designed to work for a set of oscillations and course conditions, the only one contains the four -way camera to help slide through the ground, especially in partial shakes and bunker shots.
Sc grilled – Tayormade’s takes on classic grind C. This medium swelling option pairs a medium section of single truck with soles, toes and attractive relief. Think of it as a more comprehensive grinding SB that has become the favorite choice among their staff club professionals.
Sx grind – The widest option in the MG5 lineup, Grind Sx is billed as ideal for neutral to steep and medium and soft conditions. Like other open offers, SX is a great option from bunkers. The only broader is paired with a strong relief that adds only a hint of versatility.
Grinding -Tayormade’s gets a versatile high quarrel for soft conditions or steep oscillations. Grind HB contains a facilitated heel with a tracking advantage. What takes you is a higher bounce measured to the toe with more versatility than you will find in many high models.
Lb grind – the lowest swelling option. For strong conditions and shallow swing, this is Taylormade’s functional response to grinding. Relief on the heel and toe along with the main and attractive advantage keeps the wedge sitting close to the ground while offering many skills for those who want to manipulate the face.
Grind – What Tiger is looking for in a wedge has changed so Taylormade Grind has changed accordingly. The updated quarrel contains a new leadership advantage, attractive relief and increased swelling on the heel. Wedding Tiger wedge, refined for current Tiger preferences.
Price and availability
Most MG5 wedges will make a minority for $ 199. Grang, inexplicably, will be $ 219.99 – because apparently Tiger preferences cost extra. Wedges are available on Satin Chrome throughout the attic, swelling and grinding squash, and charcoal in selected combinations. The shares of the shares are truly a dynamic temperament of the golden tour 115 (steel) and Ust Recail Dart (graphite). Stock flu is Taylormade’s standard Golf Pride Z-Grip Plus 2.
Custom options
With the onset of MG5, Taylormade is continuing its Pyrrhus Customization Platform (now MYMG5). The system allows you to adjust your wedges with one of the five different appearances, choose sealing of up to 12 characters and choose from 15 different paint filling colors. There are also more than 50 personalized logo options, color gloves and four finishes (raw tournaments, elderly copper, chromium, coal).
Available through the collegial program
Taylormade Mg5 Wedges are also part of Taylormade’s collegial program. Golfists have the opportunity to stamp the logo from one of 18 schools on their wedge. The schools included are Alabama, Clemson, Uconn, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, LSU, Miami, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Kentucky, Auburn, Penn State and Ohio State.
Because apparently your wedges have to show the school’s soul.
Final thoughts
Among the growth of technology, visual improvements and the updated and improved list of Grind, there is much to like about the MG5 wedge offer (and there was already much to like about Taylormade wedges). The knocking here is how a Challenger brand in the Wedge category, Taylormade has limited options for the left, and the issue is likely to be complicated by mold costs associated with a fully forged offer. The result is that a good part of what makes MG5 compelling is only available to right -hand players. Left options are limited to only a few lofts and only SC and SB grind.
Maybe next time.
