In-hand Photos of Tiger Woods’ new TaylorMade Milled Grind wedges
Tiger Woods (finally) switched to TaylorMade Milled Grind wedges at The 2018 Memorial Tournament. Woods seemed reluctant to switch from his previous Nike VR Forged wedges to new TaylorMade wedges, even after he switched from his Nike Oven-made TGR blade irons to the his TaylorMade TW-Phase1 irons. But alas, he’s made the change, and we have photos of Tiger’s new TaylorMade Milled Grind wedges.
Based on the photos, Tiger is using a 56-degree wedge with 12 degrees of bounce, and a 60-degree wedge with 10.5 degrees of bounce. As always, he has the wedges equipped with Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips and True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts.

Spotted: Tommy Fleetwood’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X Prototype putter
Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.
This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.
Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.
The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.
Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.

These are the next limited TW Taylormade release to come out. And of course I will buy them.

Just not a Taylor Made fan. The high-toe model is an exact knock-off of the Callaway PM Grind wedge, which costs $60 less than TM (and has been in my bag for 3 years). And I’d prefer a wedge designed by Roger Cleveland & Phil over some guy at TM.

If you can’t center-hit on wedges you are totally incompetent…. miss on the long irons but never on the wedges and short irons.
