The TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4 wedge continues the company’s larger-faced, high centre-of-gravity design with the same original mission: pushing mass higher helps to produce a lower-flighted, higher-spinning design.
Like several other manufacturers, Cleveland Golf provides some useful guidance via its wedge selector tool, which has received some meaningful updates.
The A+ wedges utilise Vokey’s progressive centre of gravity where the CG is pushed up and forward of the face for a flatter trajectory and ease of squaring the face at impact.
Ping’s most extensive and versatile wedge line to date, the s159 line, features 25 loft/grind options. The grinds and shape were the result of direct feedback from the company’s tour staff.
Titleist’s wedge team, led by master craftsman Bob Vokey, believes there are three keys to great wedge play: shot versatility, distance and trajectory control, and maximum spin. All three have been addressed in Vokey’s latest creation, the SM10.
Cleveland’s follow up to its successful RTX ZipCore line features a larger ZipCore section (nearly twice the size) that allows weight to be removed and placed elsewhere to boost forgiveness, particularly in the high-low direction.
