Play Bunker shots like the Pros
Pros have this peaceful-easy feeling when they enter the bunker. They get in and effortlessly splash it out… right next to the pin.
Recreational players on the other hand, have this immediate sense of dread when they see their ball fly into the sand.
Watch the TaylorMade Team athletes Tiger Woods and Jason Day explain how they hit bunker shots, and their differing philosophies to execute a plan to get out of the sand using the MG Wedge and MG HiToe Wedges. The pros go into detail about what techniques they use in their game and how they adapt depending on course conditions.
TaylorMade’s HI-TOE wedge lineup has been expanded to include a full range of wedge lofts from 50° to 64°. Featuring full-face scoring lines in the 56° to 64° and standard scoring lines in the 50° to 54°, each HI-TOE wedge also has an expanded toe area to deliver high-spin performance whether you’re taking full swings on your approach or playing finesse shots around the green.
The HI-TOE wedge offers three different sole grinds to match your style of play:
Standard Sole (50°, 52°, 54°)
The all-purpose grind that is perfect for full approach shots into the green. This sole is well suited for both normal and soft turf conditions. All of these lofts feature standard scoring lines.
4-Way Sole (56°, 58°, 60°)
New 4-way cambered sole with a mid-bounce design of 10°. The leading edge has less belly with a more blunt contour. This new sole has an increased trailing edge and heel relief—great for players with average or steep swings from normal turf and/or softer sand.
ATV Grind (58°, 60°, 64°)
Channel-cut ATV mid-sole with a bounce of 12°. The “V” shaped leading edge moves through the turf and sand more seamlessly for better contact.
