The best wedges for 2018
Best golf wedges 2018 – TaylorMade Milled Grind and Hi Toe
In a nutshell: Most of the TaylorMade big guns – Rory, Rose, Rahm and err… Dustin – are using a mixture of these.
The Milled Grind feature a precise milling process which adds more consistency from wedge to wedge.
The brand said wedges can often fail to main consistency during the manufacturing process so two wedges that say the same thing on the sole might not have the same exact specifications.
Basically, they believe it’s too difficult to do the grinds by hand and get them all the same.
And there are three specific grinds.
The low effective bounce (LB) grind provides the least amount of ground resistance.
A standard grind (SB) with mid-bounce, and a high bounce (HB) grind features a wider sole that offers the most ground resistance.
The Hi Toe wedge, available in 58˚, 60 and 64˚ features a higher, more centrally-located centre of gravity.
SRP: £139
