Four golf wedges

These four top wedge models all feature unique groove designs.

All top wedge faces provide zip, but they do it in different ways with groundbreaking groove designs. Here are four examples from top wedge manufacturers.

1. TaylorMade Milled Grind 2

The raw face rusts over time to add more bite to the sharper, narrower and deeper groove design.

2. Cobra King MIM

A circular milling pattern increases face roughness while also creating a sharper groove edge.

3. Titleist Vokey SM8

Micro grooves located in between individually cut larger grooves ramp up spin on shots around the green.

4. Callaway MD5 Jaws

Vertical-groove walls on higher lofts angle away from the base for a razor-sharp edge that grabs the cover.
