TaylorMade Milled Grind 5 Golf Wedge

For the first time ever, MG5 wedges are fully forged from soft carbon steel. Not only does the forging process allow golfers to experience soft feel around the green where they need it most, it ensures consistency in the wedge from top to bottom.

The process starts with a billet of soft carbon steel that’s heated and bent into an L-shape. The piece then goes through a rough forging process where excess material is trimmed away, and the wedge begins to take shape. Next comes precision forging where the cosmetics and the grind begin to form. From there, the grind, face, grooves and hosel are machined to ensure consistency and that each wedge comes out exactly as it was designed. The final steps involve a slew of cosmetic detailing processes to round out the final product.

Compared to MG4, MG5 features refined leading-edge curvature and an updated top line blend for a more symmetric overall profile.

SAW-MILLED GROOVES

MG5 wedges are the first in the MG family to employ aggressive saw-milled grooves. The saw-milling process allows TaylorMade’s designers to come even closer to the legal limits of groove geometry. Reengineered with ultra-tight tolerances, steeper walls and sharper radii, these grooves help MG5 produce more spin than previous MG generations.

SPIN RETENTION IN WET CONDITIONS

Like MG generations before, MG5 wedges utilise a RAW face finish and all-new continuous Spin Tread Technology to help golfers maintain spin and control in wet conditions. The continuous Spin Treads act like all-weather tires on a road as they redirect water away from the face and increase friction at impact. With Spin Tread Technology working in concert with the saw-milled grooves, MG5 retains 13% more spin than MG4 in wet conditions. These technologies also maintain a more consistent launch angle between wet and dry conditions.

MORE GRIND OPTIONS FOR MORE GOLFERS

MG5 wedges feature six different Tour-inspired grinds that were crafted by TaylorMade master wedge craftsman Greg Cesario to give golfers a wide array of options to fit their game. Three of those grinds fit TaylorMade’s standard bounce profile that the majority of golfers gravitate toward: the SB, SC and SX grinds.
