TaylorMade MG5 Wedges in Detail: Feel, Spin, and Grinds

TaylorMade has launched its latest product line from the Milled Grind Wedge family: the Milled Grind 5 (MG5) wedges. The new models introduce several technological innovations designed to improve feel, spin, and versatility. With a focus on precision and consistency, the MG5 series is designed for golfers of all skill levels.

The New TaylorMade MG5 Wedges

A key feature of the MG5 wedges is that, for the first time, they are forged entirely from soft carbon steel. This manufacturing process is designed to improve the feel at impact and ensure greater consistency from the clubhead to the heel. TaylorMade emphasizes that this approach stems from feedback from top players like Collin Morikawa, who consider a soft feel in the short game to be crucial to their confidence.

Improved Spin Through Innovative Technology

The MG5 series features saw-milled grooves, which allow designers to push the groove geometry closer to the rule limits. These grooves have been redesigned with tighter tolerances, steeper walls, and sharper radii to generate more spin compared to previous MG generations.

In addition, the wedges feature the new Spin-Tread technology. This is a surface texture that channels water away from the clubface, thereby increasing friction even in wet conditions. According to TaylorMade, this technology is designed to increase spin in wet conditions by 13% compared to the previous MG4 model and contribute to a more consistent launch angle.

More Grind Options for Different Playing Styles

To meet the needs of a wide range of golfers, the MG5 series offers six different, Tour-inspired grind options. The grind refers to the shape of a Wedge’s sole and influences how the club interacts with the ground. A well-chosen grind allows for greater versatility and adapts to the player’s swing style and course conditions.

• SB Grind: A versatile full-sole design with a wide sole that allows for consistent interaction with the turf and is suited to most swing types.
• SC Grind: TaylorMade’s signature mid-bounce grind, which is very popular among professionals. It offers versatility around the green.
• SX Grind: A new grind with the widest sole, designed to ensure consistent performance, especially from the Bunker.
• HB Grind: A high-bounce design suitable for golfers with steeper swings or soft course conditions.
• LB Grind: A low-bounce grind for golfers with flat swings or for hard, firm conditions.
• TW Grind: An updated grind tailored to Tiger Woods’ specific requirements.

Bounce (also known as the sole bounce angle) is the angle that runs from the leading edge to the bottom of the sole. It prevents the Wedge from digging into the ground. A high bounce is advantageous on soft ground or sand, while a low bounce is better suited for hard surfaces.

Customization, Pricing, and Availability

With the MyMG5 program, TaylorMade offers extensive customization options. Golfers can choose text, logos, color fills, and various finishes—such as Tour RAW, Aged Copper, Chrome, and Charcoal—to personalize their Wedges.

The MG5 wedges will be available starting September 4, 2025, at select specialty retailers. The price for the standard models is €229, while the MG5 TW Grind wedges are priced at €259.
