TaylorMade's Milled Grind wedges are a line of CNC-milled wedges that has run through several generations, and the most common used versions today are the Milled Grind 2, 3 and 4. The name describes how the sole is made: each grind is machined rather than hand finished, so the shape stays consistent from one wedge to the next. TaylorMade announced the MG2 in August 2019, and the Milled Grind 4 followed in September 2023.
What changed from MG2 to MG4
The MG2 used a raw face that rusts only between the score lines, sharper and narrower grooves, and a thicker face backed by a TPU insert in the cavity. It came in standard and low bounce, in matte black or satin chrome, with lofts from 48 to 60 degrees. The Milled Grind 3 introduced the groove design that the MG4 still uses, with raised ribs on the flat areas between grooves.
What the MG4 added
The MG4 keeps the MG3 groove geometry and replaces the raised ribs with laser-etched diagonal lines TaylorMade calls Spin Tread. They are meant to clear moisture, and TaylorMade says the MG4 kept more than 50 percent more spin on wet full shots than earlier versions. Lofts run from 46 to 60 degrees across seven sole grinds, including new C, V and W grinds in the 58 and 60 degree lofts for low, standard and high bounce.
Common questions
Which Milled Grind should I buy used?
The MG4 has the newest groove treatment and the widest grind choice. The MG2 and MG3 are older and usually cost less, so they make sense if you do not play often in wet conditions.
What does the bounce on a Milled Grind mean for me?
Lower bounce suits firm turf and players who sweep the ball. Higher bounce helps on soft ground or if you tend to hit down steeply.
