CARLSBAD, Calif. (August 9, 2022) – TaylorMade Golf, the industry leader in innovation and technology, today announces the all-new Hi-Toe 3 – the company’s latest evolution of the Tour-proven Hi-Toe wedge. With an intense focus on versatility and added performance on shots closest to the green, engineers have designed a club capable of producing the entire catalogue of short game shots. From low-launching, high-spinning checkers to full-on open-faced flops, Hi-Toe 3 has been meticulously crafted to help golfers unlock creativity and save strokes around the green.
PERFORMANCE WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
Par-saving up and downs can have a more significant impact than birdies. That’s why so many of the world’s best players have the world’s best short games. What are the keys to delivering in those pivotal moments around the green?
“It starts with versatility and imagination—the originality to envision a variety of shots along with the tools and confidence to pull them off. The history of Hi-Toe began on Tour, as our product and engineering teams worked directly with Team TaylorMade athletes to develop the original design in 2018. The main request was versatility.”Our athletes all offered great input individually, but collectively everyone wanted something versatile. They wanted a single wedge that could perform around the greens from deep rough, thick fescue, bunkers with different sands, in wet conditions and from tight lies. That’s a lot to fit into a single design, but with Hi-Toe 3 we’ve done it.” – Bill Price, Product Creation, Wedges and Putters
The Hi-Toe 3 design produces a higher center of gravity that’s engineered for a lower launch and more spin, delivering even better control and spin properties on full swings.
ONE WEDGE. ALL THE SHOTS.
Advanced versatility in the Hi-Toe 3 begins with the four-way cambered sole, which remains a staple of the original design. The unique geometry allows for a wide sole and the forgiveness associated with high bounce while maintaining a low leading edge, making it playable from tight lies and visually appealing to better players. Trailing edge relief adds to the versatility by allowing golfers to easily and comfortably open the face to manipulate loft, trajectory, and spin on short shots. The large ZTP RAW Grooves feature radii further engineered for optimal spin in various conditions.
New elements that enhance Hi-Toe 3’s versatility include expanding full-length scoring lines to all lofts above 54° and the addition of raised micro-ribs.
