Technology:

The main technology in the MG3 Wedge System is the Raised Micro-Ribs (0.02mm tall and .25mm wide) which span the entire face and sit between the traditional grooves. These create an abrasive and textured surface area that improves the interaction between clubface and ball. The other changes to the face – compared to MG2 wedges – include a scratch finish on the toe area which helps reduce glare at address.

TaylorMade’s Milled Grind Sole process produces individually CNC milled wedges for accuracy and consistency from club to club. Player-inspired alterations to the sole and bounce offerings for MG3 wedges include:

Low Bounce (LB) – The new LB sole geometry promotes a smoother entry and exit of the club through the turf.

Standard Bounce (SB) – With a slightly wider sole than on MG2, is geared towards increased playability and forgiveness on various shots.

High Bounce (HB) – The HB sole geometry is designed to help players with a steep attack angle or those who play in softer conditions.

TW Grind – Offered in custom offerings only, with 56° and 60° lofts available. Each sole on the MG3 TW was inspired by Tiger’s grind.

The wedges also use a precision mass placement which has optimised the CG location to encourage lower launch with increased spin. Basically the higher the loft, the higher the CG, but this has also helped deliver a solid sound and feel on impact.


Conclusion:

Having tested these wedges on both links and parkland courses with the different turf interactions, I can say that so far these wedges produce more spin than any other wedges I have tested. The raised micro-ribs do an amazing job.

My wedge game around the green is probably the weakest part of my golf game and these wedges certainly made me look good. The more I played with them the more confident I became knowing that the ball would near enough stop dead – and that was on the more finesse type shots around the green, not just full shots into the green. As they say, the proof is in the pudding; once you get the MG3 wedges in your hand to test, you will know exactly what I mean.
