TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 Black Golf Wedge

With the new TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 wedges, engineers have utilised the combination of face and groove design to create the ultimate spin for ultimate performance. Raw Face design produces a more precise geometry designed to optimise spin and feel. ZTP Raw Grooves offer sharper, deeper and narrower grooves and a sharper radius, which further combined with a rougher surface from the laser etching between the grooves, enable the golfer to create more friction between the clubface and the ball generating more greenside spin. Compared with plated grooves, the raw face design increase in friction reduces the ability for the golf ball to potentially skid up the clubface before it grips the face leading to a more consistent ball flight enabling golfers to get closer to the hole. Unique to the Milled Grind 2, each raw wedge head will feature an air-tight 3M adhesive sticker which has been specially designed for the wedge and is applied on the face to prevent rusting before purchase/use. When the golfer removes the adhesive sticker, the face will immediately begin oxidising, which in turn, begins the rusting process. To create optimal feel, TaylorMade's engineers have altered the geometry of the clubhead to create a Thick-Thin Head Design using a design optimization tool previously only used in the metalwood and irons design processes. This tool illustrated that having a thicker backing combined with a thin outer section optimized frequency and duration for the desired sound and feel. The different material thickness in Milled Grind 2 is highlighted by the movement of weight placement in the clubhead. The face thickness of the head has increased from 5.1mm in Milled Grind 1 to 6.5mm in Milled Grind 2. To enable a thicker clubhead without adding weight, engineers were able to move weight by creating a TPU Insert in the back cavity. The TPU Insert is designed to provide vibration dampening to create a solid, positive feel at impact. The implementation of machining technology, first introduced in Milled Grind Wedges but more recently in the new P·7TW irons, enables each leading edge and sole grind to be individually CNC milled for unparalleled accuracy and consistency from club to club and grind to grind. By producing wedges not by hand but through CNC milling machines, the CNC tolerances of a milled sole far exceed what a human can do in a repeatable fashion, thus enabling each wedge to be replicated so there is no variance. Likewise, the sole geometry, consisting of contour, angle and surface area must be designed and maintained to interact properly with the turf in the desired manner. Different ground and sand conditions also require variations in sole geometries to facilitate play depending on the player type. A low effective bounce (LB) grind provides the least amount of ground resistance and a standard grind (SB) has a median ground resistance.

Available in both matte black and satin chrome, this wedge is designed to suit the eye of any golfer's style. The stock shaft is the True Temper Dynamic Golf S200 in Wedge Flex whilst the stock grip is the Lamkin Genisis Crossline Cord.

Low Bounce = 8 Degrees Bounce - Features a narrow crescent shape low bounce allowing maximum green side versatility Standard Bounce = 9-12 Degrees Bounce - An all-purpose grind and designed for players that like to rotate the clubface open and shut
