The smartest setup for most players is mixing both wedge types: carry traditional Milled Grind 5 wedges in your lower scoring lofts, and reserve the Hi-Toe 5 for your highest-lofted wedge (58° or 60°) for ultimate forgiveness out of bunkers and deep rough.

Spin: 5/5 — Full face grooves and high CG
Versatility: 5/5 — ATS wide sole for rough & sand

Feel: 4/5 — Forged feel with full face grooves
What they rate
Hi-Toe 5 provides extreme forgiveness out of bunkers and thick rough lies
High center of gravity on Hi-Toe 5 creates a low-launch, high-spin driving chip trajectory
Full face grooves on Hi-Toe offer relief on off-center open-face shots
What they don’t
Hi-Toe head shape is less traditional visually than MG5
Requires opening the blade to fully capitalize on the ATS wide sole
