TaylorMade launches Hi-Toe 4 wedges

Published

1 year ago

Aug 14, 2024

TaylorMade today unveiled the fourth iteration of its high-toe-peaked Hi-Toe wedges, appropriately named Hi-Toe 4.

“Hi-Toe wedges are a great option for any player who gains confidence from a wedge with a larger face and full-face grooves to ensure maximum spin regardless of where you strike it on the face,” said Matt Bovee, Global Category Director – Irons and Wedges at TaylorMade. “Now with Spin Tread Raw face technology and a new array of grinds, the Hi-Toe 4 has more performance and versatility than ever before.”

TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4 wedges: Key technology

Larger toe mass pad: Increased in size from Hi-Toe 3, the larger pad makes the Hi-Toe 4 more forgiving.
Elevated CG: Owing in part to the toe pad Hi-Toe 4 wedges feature an elevated center of gravity for penetrating flight with maximum spin.
Spin Tread technology: Debuted on Milled Grind 4 wedges, Spin Tread makes its way to Hi-Toe wedges for the first time. Per TaylorMade, “the addition of this cutting-edge face finish not only promotes increased friction and spin, it also displaces moisture in wet conditions.”
Full face grooves on higher lofts: For maximum shotmaking creativity and control
Raw finish: Glare-reducing, tour-preferred look — plus a gold bottom groove for ease of alignment

All Terrain grinds

TaylorMade is offering Hi-Toe 4 wedges in five machine-milled “All Terrain grinds,” which are design to span the entire spectrum of playing conditions.

TaylorMade’s description of each grind below.

All Terrain Standard Grind (ATS): “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. Its increased four-way camber allows for liberal face manipulation and gives golfers plenty of options to hit different shots with both an open and closed clubface. The ATS grind is available in the full menu of lofts ranging from 50° to 60°.”

All Terrain Versatility Grind (ATV): “Golfers with shallow angles of attack or that play off tight, firm turf are going to benefit from this asymmetric bounce and concave sole. This multifunctional design and increased effective bounce in the open face position allow for plenty of face manipulation and shot versatility. The ATV grind comes in lofts of 56°, 58° and 60°.”

All Terrain XTRA Grind (ATX): “The ATX grind is a new grind that uses three independent sole surfaces to create a multifunctional, wider sole that plays with mid-range bounce. The leading edge prevents digging while the midsole ensures stability, and the aggressive trailing edge fosters a quick exit from the turf. Loft options in the ATX grind are 56°, 58°and 60°.”

All Terrain C Grind (ATC): “The ATC grind offers our 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. The ATC grind is available in both 58° and 60° lofts.”

All Terrain Wide Grind (ATW): “Featuring the widest sole and the most forgiving profile in the Hi-Toe 4 family, the ATW grind is designed to inspire ultimate confidence for golfers that seek clean, consistent contact. The ATW grind’s wide sole and high effective bounce help prevent the leading edge from digging into the turf and are especially beneficial in soft, wet conditions. The wide sole is also great for players that struggle making consistent contact out of the sand. In the ATW grind, loft choices are 56°, 58° and 60°.”

GolfWRX Staff

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.”
