Today, Ian and Mikey dive into the brand new latest evolution of the Tour-
proven Hi-Toe wedge.
With an intense focus on versatility and added performance on shots, the boys dive into the numbers to compare to see how the low-launching, high-spinning Hi-Toe 3 has changed since previous versions.
Taylormade states that the Hi-Toe 3 design produces a higher centre of gravity that’s engineered for a lower launch and more spin, delivering even better control and spin properties on full swings.

Gosh, they're so ugly. Hopefully they play well on course!
Never in my life have I thought "if only this wedge had a higher toe".
I love the look of those wedges
I do like how you will bring these on course. I recently bought wedges based on indoor use and loved them. Got them into the rough and bunkers during a round and they were absolute stinkers.
I love having full toe wedges, they help so much around the green and have saved me big time.
YES.. MIKEY!
Mike has gotten a lot more consistent over the last year. Distance was spot on. Of course it's edited but still good swings there.
Even Mikey has got the new copper finish🤣
I recall seeing my first Ping Eye while I was in college. Never really considered the Karsten’s but a college buddy got the Eye Summer of 79. I had always played MacGregor blades or Wilson’s, the Eye was so strange in sound and aesthetics. Larger, thick top line, and the flared fat toe. Swung them a couple times on range, handed ‘em back to my buddy and kinda chuckled. To this day, the visual aspects alone of the heavy, thick toe iron or wedge is non-starter. These could be the greatest wedges ever, I just wouldn’t have the confidence once I see them at address.
It should be said I also only consider forged wedges, as I play Miura 501’s, have always played forged irons. I like the same consistent sound and feel in my irons and wedges. Even Vokey’s are a bit too clicky at impact. My wedges are a combo of Miura, Bettinardi and Mizuno. I do wish their were more forged wedge options but I’ve found enough loft & bounce options among the few forged options available
All copies of the best club ever, Ping Eye 2 SW.
@5:51 – I think you getting fractionally more spin from the high toe due to the spin loft being closer to 45* (48.7*-3.0* =45.7*). Whereas the the MG3 (51.6*-2.6*=49.3*). From what I heard you get the most spin from a spin loft of around 45*.
Bring me a higher toe – steve winwood (paraphrased).
been a vokey wedge guy for 15 years. tried the high toes recently and ended up putting them in my bag. huge upside for my game.
Daily reminder of how much I think this new intro sucks. But still love you guys though. Just the intro. It sucks balls
what happened with the ATV sole?
so the new hi-toe doesn't come in an ATV grind, what a bummer. Also, they got rid of the high loft options. Gen 1 had 64 avaliable, and gen 2 had 62, which you could bend to 64. this one only comes in 60, come on Taylormade give us a 64 degree in ATV grind!!!
I don't like that high toe look, remember when Ping came out with the Eye 2 wedge – UGH. BUT I'm intrigued by the 4-way camber/ATV sole grind. I loved the way ATVs reacted with turf, sand, rough, etc. If the high toe helps with flighting down for a more penetrating trajectory with longer swings I could take a gander.
One question – why hasn't anyone put full face grooves on a normal wedge?
Still love my original 58 hi toe with the "eye 2" sole and an original 54 Hi toe…one thing I should mention however, is I needed to adjust these a couple degrees more upright than most other wedges I've used. Perhaps because of the extra toe weight causing excess droop with my swing? Not sure, but I have them fit now and love them!
Best high-toe design to my eyes. I’m ordering one.
I love the look of these wedges they look great and the sole design really can let you play any shot desired. I purchased raw wedges MG3 last year and what I have kind of seen with raw compared to a finished plated wedge I played previously the rtx4 is initially on a new wedges the raw really spun a ton out of the gate (as expected). However, I have noticed the raw face has worn quicker for me than I thought. I used the GC3 on the course and I was getting 5500-6000 rpm on a 30 yard pitch initially, since then spin has dropped to about 4800-5000. You can just see the ball doesn't have that same grab on the first bounce. I have played maybe 40 rounds with them and I don't practice out of bunkers. I feel like the raw face has become a bit of a tool where manufactures can have people replacing the wedges more frequently.
No more 64?
If they bring out this finish on an iron set I am there!
Personally I don’t like raw wedges. I prefer them to look nice for as long as possible
the hitoe 60 degree Bigfoot was a game changer for me.
Two men trying hard to create some kind of story as to how these clubs might be different while staring at small amount of data produced by one imperfect human. Science.
How long do y’all think the ball stays on the face?
How do you know when it’s the lie angle vs just blocking it when you (me) push it right?
I hate the trend of the raw face and finished everywhere else. I understand maybe having it as an option, but why can't I get it with the whole thing finished, or whole thing raw. This in-between option is just ugly.
Absolutely hate clubs that rust, even if by design and so does everyone I play with or ever asked. I met one player who likes the rusting faces, yes, ONE!
Is there any reason for different stock shafts for wedge lines, like Kbs for high toe?
Volume on the intro was spot on this video. Thanks for tweaking it!
Can you do new hi toe vs TW MG3?
Nice review, surprised they don’t offer 50 degrees especially given the stronger lofts of most of their iron sets
Off topic question, but is a 1990's model driver still legal today for professional tournament play?
Love having Ian and Mike back together – best combo of insight and interest on the channel. More of this dynamic duo please.
