The Hi-Toe 4 is TaylorMade's wedge for golfers who like to hit the odd shots. Open the face for a flop over a bunker and you'll notice the extra hitting area up near the toe, which is the whole point of the high-toe shape. Most standard wedges leave you catching the ball on bare titanium or a groove-less patch when the face is laid open. This one keeps grooves running most of the way up the face, so the shots you're most likely to fluff still get bite.
The 2025 version covers 52 through 60 degrees, which is the range where a versatile wedge earns its keep. The 52 slots in as a gap wedge for full swings and pitches. The 56 and 58 do the everyday sand and greenside work. The 60 is there when you need to go straight up. Across that spread the emphasis is on control and spin rather than distance, which is exactly what you want from a scoring club.
This is a shot-maker's wedge, not a set-it-and-forget-it forgiveness club. If you play a lot of creative short-game shots and open the face regularly, it rewards you. If you mostly hit square-faced pitches and chips, you're paying for capability you won't use.

Loft and bounce are nominal values. Actual specifications may vary.
The signature feature is the raised toe profile, which adds surface area exactly where you contact the ball on open-face shots. Full-face grooves cover the extra real estate, so the spin is there whether you hit it out of the center or up in the toe on a delicate lob. Milled scoring lines and a rougher face texture help grip the ball on partial and short shots where you're not generating much clubhead speed. The sole is ground for versatility, with relief that lets you lay the face open and slide the club under the ball without the leading edge digging. That works for and against you depending on your delivery. Players who like to manipulate the face and use the bounce will feel at home. Steeper, more digging swingers may find it a touch demanding out of firm turf and tight lies.
It's offered in 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees. That covers gap wedge duties at the low end and full lob-wedge loft at the top, so most players can build a two- or three-wedge setup out of the range without a gap.
When you open the face on a flop or bunker shot, the contact point moves up toward the toe. A standard wedge shape runs out of face and grooves there. The raised toe adds material and keeps grooves running up high, so those open-face shots still spin instead of coming off dead.
It leans toward better players. The full-face grooves and versatile grind reward golfers who open the face and use the bounce, but the sole and leading edge ask for cleaner contact than a chunky game-improvement wedge. If your short game is a weak spot, a more forgiving wedge is the safer buy.
A common setup is the 56 and 60, or the 54 and 58, spacing them about four degrees apart. If you carry a pitching wedge around 46 degrees, adding the 52 first fills the biggest yardage gap. Match the top loft to how much you actually flop the ball.
Yes, especially in the 56 and 58. The sole grind lets you open the face and use the bounce to splash through sand, and the full-face grooves grab the ball on the shorter, softer bunker shots. In firm sand you'll want to control how much you open it so the leading edge doesn't sit too high.
