New Gear: TaylorMade Tour Preferred wedges

TaylorMade has unveiled two new Tour Preferred wedges that will sit beside their recently launched Tour Preferred irons.

With help from its PGA Tour players, TaylorMade has created two extremely versatile sole grinds with a new Micro Texture face that delivers extra spin control.

The first sole option is a new Classic Grind for golfers who prefer a classically designed wedge with a very traditional shape. This model is offered in lofts of 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 degrees and has a slight progressive camber and generous heel relief that makes it more versatile.

The second option is a refined ATV Grind, with a reshaped sole that’s slightly narrower. This allows better performance on open-faced shots and from tight lies.

The ATV Grind promotes less bounce on full shots, chip shots and out of the sand, whilst maintaining higher bounce on open-face shots that are crucial around the green. The ATV grind will be available in lofts of 54, 56, 58 and 60.

Other highlights of Tour Preferred wedges include an optimised Micro Texture face and the most aggressive groove design TaylorMade has ever created to aid greenside control.

The KBS Tour V is the standard shaft in all models of the Tour Preferred wedges, which will retail £99 each.
