TaylorMade MG4 Wedge
The MG4 is TaylorMade's fourth crack at the Milled Grind wedge, and the Tour Grind is the version built for players who like to move the ball around. If you open the face on a delicate flop, hood it for a low runner, or lay the shaft back in soft sand, this is the sole shape that lets you do it without the leading edge digging or the heel catching. It's a shotmaker's wedge, plain and simple.
What makes the Milled Grind line different is right there in the name. The sole is cut by a machine to tighter tolerances than a hand grind can hit consistently, so the bounce and camber you see on one wedge match the next one off the line. That matters more than it sounds. When your 56 and your 60 feel like they came from the same family, your short game gets more predictable around the greens.
The Tour Grind carves away heel and toe relief so the sole sits lower when you open the face. Square it up and you still get enough bounce to keep from chunking full shots. That dual personality is the whole point. You're not locked into one delivery, and for a golfer who plays feel rather than a memorized technique, that freedom is worth a lot.

About the TaylorMade MG4
TaylorMade leans on its raw face approach here, where the hitting area skips the chrome plating so it oxidizes over time. A raw face grabs the ball a touch more, especially out of wet grass and rough, and the aggressive groove and surface milling are tuned to hold spin as the grooves wear. The face will pick up a rusty patina after a few rounds. That's by design, not a defect. The Tour Grind sole is the star. Trailing edge and heel relief let the club rotate open and lay flatter to the turf, so the effective bounce drops when you need to slide under the ball. Keep the face square and the mid bounce works fine on firmer lies and full swings. It's a versatile grind aimed at better players and tighter to firm turf conditions, less so at steep, digging swings on soft ground.
Who Should Play the TaylorMade MG4?
- ✓Better players who open the face and manipulate loft rather than hitting every wedge shot the same way
- ✓People who play firm to medium turf and tight lies where a lower, more relieved sole slides instead of bounces
- ✓Golfers who want the consistency of a machine-milled sole across a matched wedge set
- ✓Anyone who prefers the extra bite of a raw face and doesn't mind the wedge rusting over time

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tour Grind on the TaylorMade MG4?
It's a versatile sole grind with heel and toe relief that lets you open the face and lay the club flatter to the turf. Square it up and you get moderate bounce for full shots. Open it up for flops and greenside touch shots and the effective bounce drops so the leading edge stays low. It suits shotmakers on firm to medium turf more than steep swingers on soft ground.
Why does the MG4 face rust?
TaylorMade leaves the hitting area raw, without chrome plating, so it oxidizes with use. A raw face grips the ball slightly more, particularly out of wet or rough lies, and helps maintain spin as the grooves wear. The rust is cosmetic and expected. It doesn't hurt performance and many tour players prefer the look and feel.
What does Milled Grind actually mean?
The sole is shaped by a computer-controlled milling machine instead of by hand. That produces tighter, more repeatable tolerances, so the bounce and sole geometry are consistent from one wedge to the next. The upshot is that a matched set of MG4 wedges feels and performs alike, which makes distance and turf interaction more predictable.
Is the MG4 Tour Grind good for high-handicap golfers?
It can work, but it isn't the most forgiving choice. The Tour Grind's lower effective bounce and heel-toe relief reward players who deliver the club shallow and control face angle. If you take steep divots or play soft turf, a higher-bounce standard grind will be more forgiving. Skilled players who shape shots get the most out of this one.
What lofts and bounces does the MG4 Tour Grind come in?
TaylorMade typically offers the Tour Grind in the higher-loft wedges, usually the 56, 58, and 60 degree heads where face manipulation matters most, paired with a mid bounce. Lower lofts like the 50 and 52 usually come in a standard grind instead. Check current fitting options for the exact loft and bounce combinations, since the lineup varies by region and release.
