The new TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 wedges are here, promising to deliver the ultimate in versatility around the greens.
From low-launching, high-spinning chip shots, to full-on open-faced
flop shots, the TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 has been meticulously crafted to help golfers
unlock their creativity and save valuable strokes around the green.
The history of the Hi-Toe wedge goes back to 2017 when ‘Team TaylorMade’ athletes challenged the company’s product and engineering teams to create a wedge that would allow them maximum versatility and workability, enabling them to fully unlock their imagination.
• REVIEW: TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 wedges
“Our athletes all
offered great input individually, but collectively everyone wanted
something versatile,” explained Bill Price, TaylorMade’s director of product creation for wedges and putters.
“They wanted a single wedge that could perform
around the greens from deep rough, thick fescue, bunkers with different
sands, in wet conditions and from tight lies.
“That is a lot to fit into a
single design but, with Hi-Toe 3, we have done it.”
So, let’s take a closer look at how they’ve achieved it.
First, we’ve got a four-way cambered sole, which remains a staple of the
original design. The unique geometry allows for a wide sole and the
forgiveness associated with high bounce while maintaining a low leading
edge, making it playable from tight lies and visually appealing.

Trailing edge relief adds to the versatility by allowing golfers to
easily and comfortably open the face to manipulate loft, trajectory, and
spin on short shots.
The large ZTP RAW Grooves, meanwhile, are
engineered for optimal spin in all weather conditions.
New elements that enhance Hi-Toe 3’s versatility include expanding
full length scoring lines to all lofts above 54° with the addition of
raised micro-ribs.
These are positioned between the full
grooves adding texture to the face, and are designed to increase spin and
performance on partial shots around the green.
This technology was first
introduced in TaylorMade’s Milled Grind 3 wedge and has now been added
to the Hi-Toe family.

An “aged copper” finish, meantime, gives the wedges a premium aesthetic and
will blend seamlessly with the RAW face which is designed to rust over time.
There are three other finishes to choose from if you want to personalise the look of your Hi-Toe 3 wedges, with text, logos and paint fills all available through MyHi-Toe-3.
