TaylorMade has recently introduced the Hi-Toe 4 wedges, the latest addition to the Hi-Toe series. These wedges are designed to provide maximum spin and shot control regardless of where the ball is struck on the face. The Hi-Toe 4 wedges feature a larger face and full-face grooves, making them an excellent option for players who prefer a wedge with increased surface area. Matt Bovee, the Global Category Director for Irons and Wedges at TaylorMade, highlighted the performance and versatility of the Hi-Toe 4 wedges, which also incorporate the Spin Tread Raw face technology for enhanced friction and spin.
One of the key improvements in the Hi-Toe 4 wedges is the larger toe mass pad, which enhances forgiveness and stability. The elevated center of gravity, attributed to the toe pad, promotes a penetrating flight with maximum spin, ideal for advanced shotmaking. Additionally, the incorporation of Spin Tread technology in the face finish of these wedges displaces moisture and increases friction for optimal spin even in wet conditions. The full-face grooves on higher lofts offer increased shotmaking creativity and control, while the raw finish reduces glare and provides a tour-preferred appearance.
The Hi-Toe 4 wedges come in five different machine-milled grinds, collectively known as the All Terrain grinds. Each grind is designed to cater to specific playing styles and conditions. The All Terrain Standard Grind (ATS) is versatile and suitable for various playing conditions, while the All Terrain Versatility Grind (ATV) is ideal for players with shallow angles of attack. The All Terrain XTRA Grind (ATX) offers stability and easy turf interaction, while the All Terrain C Grind (ATC) is suitable for players who prefer low bounce options. The All Terrain Wide Grind (ATW) features a wide sole for consistent contact and confidence for players struggling with sand shots.
In terms of pricing, specs, and availability, the Hi-Toe 4 wedges are currently available for pre-order at $179.99. The stock shaft is True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue, and the stock grip is Lamkin Crossline 360 Black/Copper. Golfers have the option to choose between fully raw, chrome, and black finishes for their Hi-Toe 4 wedges. Overall, the Hi-Toe 4 wedges from TaylorMade offer enhanced performance, versatility, and spin technology for players looking to elevate their short game.
