TaylorMade launches all-new MG3 wedges

Published

on

TaylorMade has today unveiled its all-new MG3 wedges, which are engineered with Raw Face Technology.

The successor to TM’s MG2 line, 2021 MG3 wedges contain an unplated surface material that will rust over time to preserve consistent spin, and also deliver better performance in wet conditions, according to the company. 

The all-new Raised Micro-Ribs aim to enhance those benefits further and provide added precision around the greens — especially on partial shots.

Speaking on the new additions, Bill Price, Product Creation. Putter & Wedges stated

“Wedges have to be versatile and exacting, whether it’s a full swing from 100 yards, a touchy15-yard pitch that needs to stop quickly, or any distance in between. With Milled Grind 3, we’ve designed a wedge that’s capable of delivering optimal spin on every shot from every distance.”

The Raised Micro-Ribs (0.02mm tall and .25mm wide) span the entire face of the MG3 wedges and sit between the traditional grooves. The Ribs are designed to create an abrasive and textured surface area that improves the interaction between clubface and ball on finesse shots.

Each leading edge and sole grind are individually CNC milled for accuracy and consistency from club to club, while the alterations to the sole and bounce offerings for the new MG3 wedges include the following:

Low Bounce (LB)

With a leading-edge that sits closer to the ground and has less tendency to catch upon entry, the LB offers a slight increase in camber designed to help the club glide through the turf with less resistance. 

The LB option aims to provide a smoother entry and exit of the club through the turf and features added trail edge relief designed to deliver versatility when opening the face up to hit finesse shots around the green.

Standard Bounce (SB)

Featuring a slightly wider sole than on the MG2 wedges, the SB sole geometry is geared towards increased playability and forgiveness on various shots. Added trail edge relief aims to provide versatility when opening the face up to hit finesse shots around the green.

High Bounce (HB)

Designed to help players with a steep attack angle or those who play in softer conditions, the HB sole is slightly wider than the MG2 and has increased camber for smoother turf interaction while also featuring added trail edge relief.

TW Grind

Offered in custom offerings only, with 56 and 60 degree lofts available, each sole on the MG3 TW was inspired by Tiger’s grind. The 56 degree wedge is a dual sole with heavy heel relief, while the 60 degree has an extremely high bounce on the leading edge with a shaved heel allowing for maximum versatility.

Engineers used precision mass placement for the MG3 wedges in design to optimize CG location to encourage lower launch with increased spin (i.e., the higher the loft, the higher the CG) while simultaneously bidding to deliver better sound and feel responses.

Progressive hosel lengths also allow players to pair different hosel lengths with different lofts allowing for optimal CG location. In addition, unlike its predecessor, the new MG3 wedges include a scratch finish on the toe area to reduce glare at address.

    Looks cheap but cost $$$$$. Wait until the next version and save your money. Swing Science is better.

Published

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
