The TaylorMade Hi-Toe 5 Wedge uses an official 64° lie angle throughout the listed lofts. With wedge lofts this high, even a small lie error can create a noticeable face-direction change, so full and partial swings should both be checked.

What stands out about the Hi-Toe 5 Wedge lie setup?
The published lie values span 0° across the lineup.
TaylorMade keeps the lie constant across the loft family, so loft and grind change while the lie fitting baseline remains 64°.
A professional loft-and-lie machine is the correct way to test a permanent lie change.

Should the TaylorMade Hi-Toe 5 Wedge be more upright or flatter?
Try more upright if…
- Full and three-quarter shots consistently start right despite centred contact.
- The toe sits or arrives noticeably low at impact.
- You have to raise your hands to make the sole interact evenly with the turf.
- A small upright test improves start direction on both full and partial shots.
Try flatter if…
- Well-struck wedge shots consistently start left.
- The heel digs first or the toe sits noticeably high through impact.
- Short pitches feel heel-heavy through the turf.
- A flatter test improves start direction without making the toe dig.
Do not blame lie angle if…
- The miss only appears on one type of specialty shot.
- Face angle or ball position changes from swing to swing.
- You are comparing a full swing with an open-face bunker or flop setup.
- Contact is inconsistent enough that there is no repeatable pattern.
Golf-club specifications can differ by model year, loft, region, custom build and adjustable-hosel setting. Before buying, fitting or changing a club, compare these figures with TaylorMade’s official specifications for your exact model. If a measurement is critical, have the club checked by a qualified fitter. Verify with TaylorMade.
