How it performs

What I was looking for

I was looking for an all-around great feeling wedge that would be able to hit a variety of shots, and the RAW face and sole grind of the TaylorMade Milled Grind 3 provide these wanted characteristics. I traded in my Cleveland RTX Zipcore for these.

Why I chose this club

I chose this wedge because of the look, feel, and price point similar to the other options. Chose this option over the Titleist Vokey and Callaway MD series.

What I love about it

• Launch: Club is able to produce low and high shots in different conditions. The RAW face along with the loft/bounce combinations allows for this.
• Forgiveness: The TaylorMade Milled Grind 3 has typical wedge forgiveness with a softer metal feel.
• Feel: The soft metal and raw face provides great feel to this wedge. The ability for the face to rust allows for a better grip and interaction in all conditions.
• Spin: Excellent spin in wet and dry conditions. The grooves and RAW face keep both the spin level and control at a high level.
• Bounce: I utilize a higher bounce due to larger divots. With this wedge, I used the 13 and 12 degrees of bounce that are available.
• Around the Green: The face can be easily opened and closed for multiple types of shots.
• Full Shots: With this wedge, I have the ability to hit all different shots. Sole grinding, along with the variety of lofts, gives the player the chance to fill all the yardage gaps.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The wedges have a fantastic soft and muted chrome look that does not blind the player with shiny chrome, or black reflections.
• Innovation: The sole grind, raw face, and relocated weight on the back of the wedge helps with the launch of different lofts.

Issues I’ve encountered

• Bounce: I would like it if there were a few more bounce options made available.
• Shaft Feel: The shaft feels like a heavier stock offering, similar to an S400 that allows more control and lower flight.

Best Shot with this Wedge

This wedge is awesome on the 50-70 yard shots and greenside bunkers. The raw face gives that little extra grab on the feel shots.

Value for the money vs. other options

In terms of value for money, I have found the TaylorMade Grind 3 Wedges to perform better for my needs than other similar options, such as the Callaway MD series or Titleist Vokey Series.

Final verdict

The TaylorMade Milled Grind 3 is a great wedge that provides precision control and confidence for hitting any shot attempted.
