Taylormade Golf made a splash this week at The Masters, officially announcing the SLDR Mini Driver. But in the shadow of the SLDR Mini Driver was the Taylormade Tour Preferred Wedge. The video above was also released ahead of the Masters and shows PGA Tour Professionals responding to the new wedge – a part of the game that is so important at The Masters.
Input from PGA Tour players was used by club designer Clay Long in the design of the Tour Preferred Wedge. Made with soft 304 stainless steel construction, it has a Classic Grind for the player who prefers a clean, classically designed wedge with a very traditional shape. This model is offered in lofts of 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 degrees with tour-proven bounce options. The design is clean with slight progressive camber (more in the higher lofts) and generous heel relief. The heel relief allows for the versatility of a C-grind on open-faced shots but retains the main sole surface for better performance on full swings and shots from the bunker. An optimized microtexture face promotes added spin for increased control in the scoring zone.
We’ve already seen Tour Preferred irons and Tour Preferred and Tour Preferred X golf balls. A Tour Preferred Wedge will definitely be great addition to your bag! Especially when the Taylormade Vault creates Masters limited edition versions!
