Available now for pre-order at $199.99.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TaylorMade has <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taylormadegolf.com\/clubhouse\/1736112-hi-toe-5-press-release.html?lang=default\">officially released<\/a> the Hi-Toe 5 wedges, marking the first time the popular high-toe design has been fully forged from soft carbon steel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new model joins the Milled Grind 5 as part of TaylorMade\u2019s expanded Forged Wedge Family. The shift from cast to forged construction is designed to deliver softer feel, more consistent feedback, and tighter manufacturing tolerances while retaining the signature high-toe shape that creates a larger face profile and higher center of gravity for a lower, more controlled ball flight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key performance features include full-face saw-milled grooves and laser-etched Spin Tread channels. TaylorMade says the combination improves spin retention, particularly in wet conditions, with testing showing roughly 13 percent better spin performance compared to the previous generation.<\/p>\n<p>Five Sole Grinds<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hi-Toe 5 is offered in five distinct sole grinds to fit different swing types and turf conditions:<\/p>\n<p>ATS: Four-way cambered sole, the most versatile all-purpose option (50-60 degrees).<\/p>\n<p>ATV, ATX, and ATW: Additional options covering mid- to high-bounce needs.<\/p>\n<p>ATC: Low-bounce, narrow-sole grind for firmer conditions and shallow attack angles (available through custom or the MyHi-Toe program only).<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color has-sm-font-size wp-elements-65f0d2a0492239f364191a9e0f5c9832 has-lg-margin-top has-no-margin-bottom wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000a1\" data-content-name=\"cta-middle-content-engagement\" data-track-content=\"\">Story continues below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-heading has-lg-font-size has-no-margin-top wp-block-paragraph\">More Sports News<\/p>\n<p>\t .wp-block-group__inner-container:has(> .embla),<br \/>\n\t.wp-block-group:where(.alignfull) > .wp-block-group__inner-container:has(> .embla) {<br \/>\n\t\twidth: calc(100vw &#8211; (var(&#8211;side-spacing) * 2)) !important;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla {<br \/>\n\t\tposition: relative;<br \/>\n\t\toverflow: hidden;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__container {<br \/>\n\t\tdisplay: flex;<br \/>\n\t\tflex-wrap: nowrap;<br \/>\n\t\tgap: 0 !important;<br \/>\n\t\twidth: 75%;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__slide {<br \/>\n\t\tmargin-inline-end: var(&#8211;column-gap);<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:active,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:target,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:hover,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:focus-visible {<br \/>\n\t\tdisplay: none;<br \/>\n\t\tposition: absolute;<br \/>\n\t\ttop: 50%;<br \/>\n\t\ttransform: translateY(-50%);<br \/>\n\t\twidth: 40px;<br \/>\n\t\theight: 40px;<br \/>\n\t\tmargin: 0;<br \/>\n\t\tpadding: 0;<br \/>\n\t\tline-height: 0;<br \/>\n\t\tbackground: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75);<br \/>\n\t\tcolor: var(&#8211;color-primary);<br \/>\n\t\tborder-radius: 100vw;<\/p>\n<p>\t\tsvg {<br \/>\n\t\t\twidth: 24px;<br \/>\n\t\t}<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__prev {<br \/>\n\t\tleft: 0;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__next {<br \/>\n\t\tright: 0;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t]]><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lofts range from 50 to 60 degrees.
