“Current Milled Grind, released September 2023: laser-etched diagonal texture between the scorelines (not just spin-tread) to hold spin in wet/dewy conditions, now with seven sole grinds. MSRP is $180, not $189. Steel-dominant players' wedge; a beautiful fit but never an unearned buy.”
MG4, released September 8, 2023, is the current-generation entry in TaylorMade's Milled Grind line, adding a new Spin Tread sole texture designed to maintain spin consistency in wet or debris-affected conditions and expanding the grind lineup to seven distinct sole options -- more choice than any prior Milled Grind generation. Independent testing has been especially favorable on consistency: MyGolfSpy's 2023 wedge testing placed it second overall for accuracy and among the most consistent wedges of that year's field, a notable step up in measured reliability versus the more feel/spin-focused claims of MG2 and MG3.
Strong, data-backed reviews (MyGolfSpy's #2 accuracy finish in its 2023 field) give it real credibility, but as a still-current, widely-stocked product with no scarcity or age-driven mystique, it reads as a well-regarded modern tool rather than a cult object -- that status, if it comes, is only possible once it's out of production.
A strong fit for a broad range of committed players -- from low handicaps wanting tour-level spin control to mid-handicappers who will benefit from its added mis-hit and condition consistency; still requires comfort selecting from seven grind options, which can be a lot of choice for a first-time wedge buyer.
TaylorMade's current flagship wedge as of 2026, continuing the Milled Grind lineage begun in 2017 and competing directly with Titleist's Vokey SM10 and Cleveland's RTX ZipCore generation in the modern premium-wedge market.
The most forgiving Milled Grind generation to date: Spin Tread's wet/debris-resistant texture and the widened seven-grind lineup reduce the performance penalty from imperfect conditions and lies more than earlier MG generations did, though it remains a compact players' wedge shape rather than a true game-improvement design.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
As a still-recent, current-generation wedge, used MG4s hold value relatively well: typical 2026 private-party prices run roughly $100-$150 depending on loft, grind and wear, well above the $30-$60 seen for the original 2017 MG once it aged out of the current lineup.
