More Grooves, More Precision: TaylorMade launches Milled Grind wedges
TaylorMade has officially launched the Milled Grind wedges that we spotted at the 2016 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
After working closely with its staffers, TaylorMade developed three different grinds for various types of swings and playing conditions with the new wedges, which are made from soft 8620 carbon steel.
- LB (Low Bounce): A “C-type” sole with relieved rear section.
- SB (Standard Bounce): Relieved heel section, beneficial on open-faced shots.
- HB (High Bounce): The sole has wide camber for “added lift.”
As the name implies, the leading edges and soles of the wedges are CNC-milled for greater consistency in manufacturing and performance. The milling process also ensures “leading edge symmetry to the score lines, leading edge radiuses, and sole grind geometry,” according to a TaylorMade press release. These are important qualities for golfers in order to maintain the proper impact and turf interaction while using each wedge loft and grind.
Compared to its Tour Preferred EF predecessors, the Milled Grind wedges have a deeper bore where the shaft is inserted, going from 1 inches to 1.5 inches deep, which is visible with a red polymer plug in the heel. This design helped TaylorMade move weight away from the heel and move center of gravity more toward the center of the club where it’s desired.
The grooves of the Milled Grind wedges also have steeper side walls, sit closer together, and have one additional groove on each wedge to produce more spin.
TaylorMade’s Milled Grind wedges will sell for $149.99 each starting March 3.

It seems that so many commenters, mostly the same ones, always complain about
the price of new equipment that they’ve not even tried. While I game Edel wedges,
I’ve tried these and they are very good sticks.
Perhaps the 2ndSwing site it the site they should frequent. I’d much rather hear from
those that have tried the equipment.

TM “Red Button” Wedges?
Really?

Not interested. At all. Especially for $160 a pop. Since when did all the clubmakers start colluding and start selling all their wedges for $160? Just a few years ago they were $99, then it moved to $130 and now Titelist, TM and Callaway are all charging $160 for their new wedges. Just ridiculous

For what it’s worth, I was taking a look at the TM website and they are listed at $149.99 not $159.99. Not saying it couldn’t change but the other new items are listed correct and correspond to what was reported on WRX.
Doesn’t change your point much however.

We have corrected the price listed. It is $149.99 each.

I really like my ef wedges, might have to try these some day after I have worn out my current ones.

These MUST be better than the EF grooves, otherwise TM have made a serious mistake.

Am I the only one who sees same appearance as the Wilson STAFF FW6 Wedge from 2007. You would think technology and style evolved in the last decade but seems not to be the case for TM wedeges. Good luck selling those.
