 course this week and I'm about to test out the TaylorMade high-toe wedge, really interesting one for me when this came through from TaylorMade, 64 degree wedge a wedge a loft that I have never ever played before and I must admit on first glance I just thought it was too lofted, how am I going to manage with this, I couldn't really see how it would be a club that you consider gaming, simply because it seemed like a luxury, obviously for flop shots perfect but then you have to drop a club out of the bag just to get this sort of almost specialist club into the bag and that was my consideration. Having played with it for a couple of rounds my mind has changed, I'm going to show you why in this video but first of all I'm going to throw in what is a full shot at least according to dry ball data over at Fogol because I've got some of that I'll throw later and so 64 degree loft was suggesting maximum was in and around the sort of 80 yards as a full shot, lovely little shot here and watered down the right let's see if we can get a couple on the green. Interesting thing I mean it's the wind is into us and it's not the kind of shot you choose to play quite honestly with a wedge into wind and you can see the hang time it comes down very very soft and lands soft as well not exactly spinning as such but landing very soft as a severe descent angle as you can see from the dry ball data later that's a full shot but what I'm more interested in what the versatility of this club and what it can do in and around the greens. Right so I'm going to start off what I want to do in this video I want to try and show you the versatility of this wedge the versatility this wedge in the hands of an average golfer because I am not a great wedge player it's not a strong point of my game it's something that like I said is I would highlight as a weakness but what I found with this this high toe wedge it's the versatility I've been in a number of situations over the last couple of rounds in and around the green whether it be from the rough from tight lies whether on a flop shot chip and run and I've been able to adapt the club to play all those type of shots and that's what I particularly like about it I love the way it sits behind a ball here's some close-ups on exactly how tight it lies to the ground and for me like I said it's a personal thing maybe to the eye but I love how tight it sits behind the ball and it gives me a lot of confidence first shot not a lot of green to work with you'd want to throw this one up fairly soft but from a fairly short distance we're about 25 yards from the flag one that would scare the death out of me to be honest with you but we'll give it a go did I mention the pond just at the back now there's two points to mention we've got the camera at the back of the green so what you'll see there is just how quickly that ball has come to rest how soft it lands nice soft landing stop within a few inches I would think when we have a closer look but like I said tight lie not a very confident wedge player able to throw that up nice and soft that's one shot executed okay so exactly the same hole now but from the back of the green plenty of green to work with certainly don't want to throw one up in the air it's all downhill to the pin in a better rough now be looking for a low to the chip and run and get it all the way to the hole fairly low to the ground what I like about the versatility this wedge is I can close this face down a little bit because of the way the club sits on the ground I feel that it doesn't alter anything from the top line in terms of confidence I'm not really closing that club head down at all and still be able to achieve this kind of chip and run shot then well at least I think I can try that one again with a little bit more I mean both like work again soft landing try that again setting up this time looks a better effort yeah got that one past the pin realistic chance of making a par from there but like I said that's versatility shot number two so I know you're all thinking he's had it easy so far perfect lies this one is certainly nestled down flag plenty of green to work with certainly don't thin this one water at the back of this pin but let's just see how this golf club with 64 degrees of loft I'll be using the loft on this one see if it cuts underneath this ball and whether can still pop it up and land it reasonably soft this is where for me again the versatility I'm trying to lay this club face wide open even at 64 degrees and away again the way this hosel is shaped and the way it's cut into the hosel the club the bottom the club face it just always seems to sit perfect and when I watch what you're trying to play it just seems to sit nice behind the ball the balls roll flew it just off to the fringe it was a little bit more than it needed but it certainly I think the shot explained at least what I was trying to achieve which is how easy it is yet again to get that ball out of a ball sitting down in the rough you can still open this club face up and pop the ball up and again that was a very very soft landing and again versatility shot number three with one wedge it's the final test for this 64 degree high toe wedges got a bit from a bunker I don't know about you but I like playing a club with plenty of loft in a bunker again just gives me that extra bit of confidence I think I can get the ball popped up certainly needs to hear fairly steep bang nice bit of sanding it let's see what the high toe wedge does out of a bunker I'm more than happy with that wasn't my best bunker shot was the greatest contact but maybe again that just goes to show how much help I was getting there off the club face in terms of loft and getting that ball popped up high certainly high enough anyway to get out of here but again for me that's versatility shot again it's been added to the 64 degree wedge it's great for bunkers as well so for me when I when I test any product as an average golfer the first thing I'm looking to do is see whether or not where they can give me some help because let's be honest we all need as much help as we can get and all the big things I raise about as G 400 max driver I just love the size of the sweet spot which I believe is there and how much help and assistance it gives me and I look at this wedge in a similar sort of mindset really just how much help it gives how much versatility the word I kept mentioning throughout the video number of different shot types that I can play with it but I don't say these shots are easy I play them execute them particularly well I can stab these things through the back of the green as good as anybody else you've got to execute the shot don't get me wrong but it's all about confidence it's all about and again it might just be on my eye the way this sits but like I said all those different lies that I referred to we've looked at throughout the video every time that club sat behind the ball it seemed to be suggesting to me it was the right type of loft on the club to help me out of any given situation and even when I close the club face down for a chip and run it still sat really nice behind a ball so for me it's a massive thumbs up for this wedge I really mean that and I'm if I'm honest with you I wasn't expecting to even get on with it at 64 degrees I've never used a 64 degree wedge in my life so you think I've got to do now it's in an email to Taylor made and ask him can I keep it anyway I hope you enjoyed that one comments down below have you tried it if you haven't tried it please go out and do so because I'd love to know your opinion even if you walk into the shop and sit behind a few golf balls and tell me what you think when when it's at a dress because that's the key for me just how it sits behind the ball and I keep going over all these same things I'll end it there I'm done I'm finished at Cardin
