TaylorMade has announced the 2019 TaylorMade Hi-Toe Big Foot wedge—a game-improvement option which joins the TaylorMade Hi-Toe wedge family.

The Hi-Toe Big Foot wedges offer an asymmetric C-Grind that is both flatter and has a wider sole at 32mm (compared to traditional wedges which have a sole width of 26mm), which combined with an anti-dig leading edge with maximum bounce of 15 degrees, aims to enhance playability and ease of use from the sand and rough.

Along with the wider middle, the leading edge of the 2019 TaylorMade Hi-Toe Big Foot wedge is blunter, with a beveled leading edge radius with added bounce towards the toe apex which seeks to help golfers who have an outside-in swing path and a tendency for the strike location to be towards the toe.

The trailing edge of the Big Foot wedge is also designed to offer relief with a slight heel side reduction to help keep the leading edge low alongside allowing for versatility.

Speaking on the new Hi-Toe Big Foot, Bill Price, Senior Director of Product Creation, Putters & Wedges, stated

“We have one of the best wedge line-ups on the market but realized that there was still one golfer out there that wasn’t catered for, with Big Foot we now have a game improvement wedge that’s easier to play regardless of course conditions, especially for those who struggle out of bunkers. The Hi-Toe Family of wedges now cover every aspect of the game; versatility, playability and game improvement.”

The new addition features deep CG pockets, which along with allowing engineers to maximize the width of the sole, are designed to increase spin, flight control and allow for mass to be redistributed to the sole.

Like the rest of the Hi-Toe family, the new wedge from TaylorMade features an increased toe height upwards of 5mm in a bid to provide a higher center of gravity for lower launch and more spin. Big Foot’s full-face scoring lines also aim to offer consistent ball contact out of the rough and to help increase spin on off-center strikes.
