Why We Like It
A clean design from groove to sole, the latest Milled Grind benefits from the machined sole shaping of its predecessors with enhanced spin. The grooves are the same as the Milled Grind 3 but have laser-etched diagonals on the flat areas between each score line to increase spin on partial shots and reduce spin loss in wet or dewy conditions. Redistributing weight to the perimeter on the higher lofts improves feel. Increasing the thickness of the flange in an area in line with the center of the face enhances sound and feel.
Characteristics
- Three new grind options have been added at the higher lofts for a total of seven.

Reviews
The extra texture between grooves and along the sole gives the club grip. Exceptionally easy to hit high shots. Glides through the turf, even when playing shots back in the stance.
Erika, 43, Handicap: 0Nice sensation in the hands on full shots. Crisp contact around the green. Excellent performance from the bunker. Leading edge doesn’t dig; it slides under the ball on tight lies.
Thomas, 59, Handicap: 7Real confidence booster. Contact feels cushiony. Bounce helps the club slice through the turf. Generates tons of spin on full shots and from the bunker. Versatile around the green.
Shane, 35, Handicap: 15This is The Key to Good Wedge Play
A proficient wedge game can turn double bogeys into par saves and drop scores from the mid-90s well into the 80s. In this video, Ashley Moss shows you why solid contact is the first step to dialing in your wedge distances.
From the manufacturer
TaylorMade Milled Grind 4
Milled Grind 4 utilizes laser etched Spin Tread and a raw face to provide better bite around the greens and superior spin in wet conditions. Spin Tread redirects water at impact and creates more friction between the club face and golf ball to impart more spin than prior generations.
MG4 features refinements in shape and visual appeal with a focus on what players perceive at address. Details from the hosel blend, offset and leading-edge straightness were all inspired by the insights and preferences of the best players and most experienced designers.
The milling process maximizes consistency, maintaining tolerance levels difficult for a human to repeat. The result is a precisely crafted grind on each and every wedge that produces optimal turf interaction and consistent performance.
