► You want accuracy: In our wedge testing, accuracy is based on strokes gained across our two testing conditions – full-swing and 50-yards. TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 finishes 2nd overall for accuracy. Wedges are a scoring golf club. Thus, strokes gained and performance are paramount when you have a wedge in your hand. Shots that are near or around the pin consistently will help you in the long run and MG4 excels with this.
► You want consistency: If you’ve been following Most Wanted testing, you know consistency generally correlates to how we score and analyze forgiveness. In wedge testing, consistency is assessing how well a wedge produces carry distances and dispersion. With a wedge, golfers are hitting an array of different shots – full-shots, pitches, and chips. Our testing features full-swings and 50-yard shots. Across these two conditions, MG4 performs. If you want reliability and essentially distance control, MG4 is worth trying.
