The Hi-Toe Big Foot is TaylorMade's answer to a specific problem: golfers who chunk wedges, leave bunker shots in the sand, or play courses with soft, fluffy turf where a thin sole digs too much. Where a traditional wedge asks you to control the leading edge, this one does a lot of that work for you. The name is literal. That sole is wide, and it keeps the club moving through the turf instead of stopping dead when you hit it a touch heavy.
This is the 2021 version, offered in 56, 58, and 60 degrees, so it covers the sand wedge and lob wedge slots most players carry. The construction is hollow body, which lets TaylorMade push weight around to raise launch and add forgiveness without making the head feel dead at impact. The high toe design isn't just a look. The face grooves climb higher than a standard wedge, so open-face shots and steep bunker swings still catch grooves instead of smooth metal.
Call it what it is: a game improvement wedge. It launches high, it resists digging, and it flatters an inconsistent strike. It will not turn into a tour blade if you ask it to, and shot-shapers who like to flight wedges down will feel the wide sole fighting them. For the golfer it's built for, that trade is worth making every time.

About the TaylorMade Hi-Toe Big Foot
The Big Foot sole is the whole story. It's noticeably wider than the standard Hi-Toe, with generous bounce and camber that lets the club glide rather than dig. Out of sand, that width acts like a rudder and keeps the head from burying under the ball. On soft fairways and around the green, it saves the shot when you catch it slightly fat. The hollow body behind the face frees up weight, and TaylorMade uses it to keep launch high and the sweet spot forgiving across the face. Up top, the high toe profile carries scoring lines all the way to the upper edge of the face. Open the face for a flop or a plugged bunker lie and you're still hitting grooves, not bare metal, so spin holds up on the shots where you need it most. The finish and grooves are built to bite, and the shaping sits a little chunkier at address than a milled players wedge, which is a fair signal of who this club is for.
Who Should Play the TaylorMade Hi-Toe Big Foot?
- ✓Higher handicap and mid handicap players who struggle to get consistent contact on short shots and want a wedge that helps instead of punishing a heavy strike.
- ✓Anyone who plays soft, wet, or fluffy conditions where a thin sole digs too much and stops the club at impact.
- ✓Golfers who lose strokes in bunkers and need the extra bounce and wide sole to splash the ball out reliably.
- ✓Players building a 56, 58, or 60 degree slot who value high launch and forgiveness over shot-shaping and flighted control.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Hi-Toe Big Foot different from the regular Hi-Toe wedge?
The Big Foot has a much wider sole with more bounce and camber. The standard Hi-Toe is a more versatile, playable wedge for better ball strikers, while the Big Foot is built to resist digging and bail you out on heavy strikes and soft turf. If you fight chunked wedges or struggle in bunkers, the Big Foot is the more forgiving choice.
Is the Hi-Toe Big Foot good for bunker play?
Yes, bunkers are where it shines. The wide sole and high bounce let the club splash through the sand instead of digging in and stalling, so shots come out higher and more consistently even if your technique isn't perfect. The full-face grooves also help when you open the face for a steep or plugged lie.
Which loft should I get, 56, 58, or 60 degrees?
The 56 works as a sand wedge and full-shot club and is the most versatile if you only add one. The 58 splits the difference for players who want a single higher-lofted wedge. The 60 is the lob and flop option for high, soft shots around the green. Match the choice to the gap between your current wedges.
Is this wedge too much bounce for firm turf and tight lies?
It can be. The wide, high-bounce sole is a strength in sand and soft conditions but works against you on very firm ground and tight, thin lies, where it can bounce the leading edge into the ball. If you mostly play hard, dry courses, a lower-bounce wedge will sit down better.
Does the Hi-Toe Big Foot fit a better player or a low handicap?
It's aimed at mid and higher handicaps who want forgiveness and high launch. Low handicaps who like to flight wedges down and control trajectory will feel the wide sole limiting those shots and usually prefer a narrower, more workable wedge. There's no shame in playing it if it saves you strokes, but it isn't a shot-maker's tool.
