TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 wedge review: First Impressions
I really like the unconventional Hi-Toe shaping, I think the larger profile is really confidence-inspiring over the ball. I also love the aged copper finish and think it gives the whole product a really premium look.
TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 wedge review: The Technology
The Hi-Toe 3 is designed for maximum versatility; TaylorMade wanted to create a wedge that could provide maximum performance in various scenarios.
Can you hit everything from low-launching checkers to high floating open-face flop shots with the same wedge? Thanks to tour player feedback the Hi-Toe 3 is designed for exactly that.
Advanced versatility comes from the four-way cambered sole. This allows for a wide sole design, which adds forgiveness, but keeps a low leading edge. This will enable golfers to execute shots from very tight lies with ease.
There is also a trailing edge relief which allows golfers to easily open the club face up and manipulate loft and trajectory.
On the club-face, we see a mixture of technologies to provide spin control from different lies. There are large ZTP RAW grooves across all lofts with additional full-length scoring lines on lofts of 54° and higher.
There are also raised micro-ribs between the full grooves. These add texture to the face, which increases friction and, therefore, spin. These are especially crucial on partial shots around the green.
If you like the TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 style but want to make it your own, you can completely customise the design. Pick your own colours, grip, shaft, loft and bounce and add personalised stamping to the club head via the MyHi-Toe 3 programme on the TaylorMade golf website.
TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 wedge review: NCG Verdict
I love the way this sits behind the golf ball. TaylorMade have done a great job reworking the grind since the original model. The leading edge sits low to the ground, making shots off tight lies easier and allowing you to open the face without feeling like you will thin it.
