TaylorMade\u2019s MG4 (Milled Grind 4) wedge line has been enhanced from the previous MG3s for increased spin especially in wet conditions with what they are calling \u201cSpin Tread\u201d on the un-plated face accomplished with laser etching between the grooves. They compare it to the action of an automobile tire tread as it reroutes moisture on the road to retain traction.<\/p>\n
The slightly darker raw finish of the MG4s helps with glare reduction and will eventually oxidize to help spin generation. The milled sole is somewhat larger than the previous MG3 making for smoother turf contact.<\/p>\n
Among the grind options available is a Tiger Woods Grind in the 56\u00b0 and 60\u00b0 lofts. Designed for lots of versatility, shots Woods\u2019 is famous for, the 56\u00b0 has a dual sole with additional relief in the heel and the 60\u00b0 has a leading edge with extremely high bounce. Weighting to improve the overall feel has been redone by adjusting the shape of the rear of the head.<\/p>\n
Greg Cesario of the company\u2019s Wedge Design Team said, \u201cThe feel component is a significant factor. By replacing the chrome-plated face with raw finishes early in the Milled Grind evolution, we were able to influence spin and also enhance the overall feel of the wedge. Adding our reconstructed backbar, with more weight positioned directly behind the strike zone, allows us to help players achieve their desired shot trajectories and spin rates with premium feel and confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By ED TRAVIS TaylorMade Golf has stepped up their wedge game with the introduction of the MG4 model…","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7718,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_volume":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[165,166,5116,254],"class_list":["post-7717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-golf","tag-taylormade-golf","tag-wedges","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/vive.im\/@fogolf\/117339748016749272","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
