Christmas has come early for the Tiger Woods inspired. TaylorMade’s MG2 Tiger Woods Grind Special Edition Box Set are exact replicates of the wedges Woods’ currently plays on Tour, and are set to fit Tiger fans to a T.

 

Woods is known to be extremely precise with what is required of his wedges, “My bounce generally has been towards the leading edge. I have a relief right next to the leading edge so I’m able to hit it on hard‑packed ground, able to get the leading edge down. But I also have enough relief on the back so I can slide it underneath on the heel side.”

 

 

 

Tiger’s Grind
Unique and complex, the grind on each sole was designed by Woods’s own artful hands.

The 56° wedge is a dual sole with heavy heel relief with 12° of bounce. It’s built to open or close the face easily for trajectory control and to react to any lie.

The 60° wedge features a more complex tri-sole grind. The high bounce of 11° and additional leading-edge relief allows for better performance on tight lies and firm conditions. The shaved heel and trailing edge makes it easy to open the face for aggressive flop shots.

The sole’s versatility starts with the pre-worn leading edge which sits the wedge lower and tighter to the ground with a square face, yet the high amount of bounce prevents sticking or digging. Heel relief allows the wedge to still sit low when the face is open for higher trajectory shots.

 

These two wedges are designed to be the ultimate in versatility, helping Woods to take on any shot on any course.

Said the 15 time major champion, “Wedges have always been very personal to me. Back in the day, I would test dozens of wedges and hit hundreds of shots before finding the one that would make it into my bag. I’d hand grind the sole myself after each session to make sure it was absolutely perfect. MG2 Tiger Woods Grind wedges are the result of all those years of testing and competing across the globe. The grinds are truly unique and complex, designed by me to perfectly fit my playing style.”

 

As with Milled Grind 2 wedges, the TW wedge heads have TaylorMade’s ZTP Raw Groove design built for more spin, “thick-thin” technology to optimize centre of gravity, and a laser-etched pattern on the face to enhance friction at impact.

The MG2 Tiger Woods Grind Special Edition Grind Box Set, like Woods’ gamer wedges, come stock with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord grips.
