TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 review: First Impressions
The most striking part of picking up these new wedges is the large adhesive sticker present across the clubface. This is an airtight sticker to prevent the new raw face from oxidising and rusting.
TaylorMade have done some significant re-shaping of the clubhead making the design more simple and streamlined. The result is a really attractive new wedge design.
TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 review: The technology
The biggest new tech story in these wedges is the addition of raw face technology to maximise spin. Using a raw finish means there is no plating (the normal finish) across the face and grooves, this means the club-face has a rougher finish so creates more friction, generating more spin. The raw face is also less reflective so reduces glare off the club-face.
The grooves have been made deeper and narrower with a sharper radius and TaylorMade have also added extra grooves to the face. The clubface features laser etching between grooves for extra spin.
The wedges feature thick-thin head design, this variable face construction creates a sold positive strike providing the player with great feedback. The face thickness has been increased from 5.1mm in the MG1 to 6.5mm in the MG2. This reconfiguration of mass placement combined with the TPU insert dampens vibration allowing for enhanced feel.
