H2H: TaylorMade MG4 wedge vs TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4 wedge

The TaylorMade MG4 continued off the back of the success of the MG3 and with a new laser etching between the grooves, this performs well in all conditions. 

The groove design in the MG4 wedges combines the all-new laser treatment with strategically designed grooves and a raw face. TaylorMade has achieved notable improvements in wet spin rates compared to prior models while also increasing face durability.  
With a refined finish with a slightly darker tint, it minimises glare with the raw face which oxidises over time. The redesigned back geometry enhances the wedge with a more solid and softer feel – all complimenting its refined tour-inspired shaping and versatility.    

TaylorMade has introduced a range of sole grinds in the MG4 lineup, offering golfers more versatility while also simplifying the selection process.   
 
The three main options with TaylorMade MG4 wedges are low bounce, standard bounce and high bounce. However, to cater to different swings and players, they added alternative options in each category, providing a total of six bounces to meet player’s unique requirements. With each bounce option having the ability to manipulate face angles for better versatility and playability.
   
A TW bounce option is inspired by Tiger’s grind which is a 56° wedge with a dual sole with heavy heel relief, while the 60° has an extremely high bounce on the leading edge with a shaved heel. This allows for huge versatility no matter the turf conditions. 

The previous TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 wedges had a ribbed design that sat in between the grooves to deliver more surface friction for more spin. The new TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4 wedges continue with the higher toe profile, more friction with a full face of grooves and new face design.

The new face design is similar to the that of the MG4 with a spin tread raw face finish for more spin and control. These Hi-Toe 4 wedges feature a larger profile, which will help you gain confidence on shots around the greens. The toe mass pad, which sits at the top of the blade, is visually more pronounced in these wedges compared to previous models. This will help to give these clubs an increase in forgiveness on shots that might be struck higher up the face, essential when you’re in a poor lie, where it might not be possible to strike the centre of the club. 
From longer shots, you can expect a penetrating, high-spin ball flight, that’s going to be predictable in all conditions, ideal for players who play in rough weather. Hi-Toe 4 wedges come in an array of grinds that will help to cater to a huge range of golfers, no matter your playing style or the conditions you tend to play on. The most versatile and all-encompassing of the Hi-Toe 4 grinds is the ATS. It’s suitable for players that prefer a neutral face angle at address, fits all swing types, and can be used in a wide variety of playing conditions.  

Golfers with shallow angles of attack or that play off tight, firm turf are going to benefit from this asymmetric bounce and concave sole of the ATV grind. This multifunctional design and increased effective bounce in the open face position allow for plenty of face manipulation and shot versatility.  The ATC grind offers TaylorMade’s lowest bounce option with its unique, reverse C-sole design. Noticeable heel and toe relief make this grind a trusted choice for shallow players and firm conditions.
