The TaylorMade MG5 Tiger Woods Grind Wedge uses a 64° lie-angle reference. With the extra loft of a wedge, even a small lie error can create a more noticeable start-direction change, especially on partial shots.

What stands out about the MG5 Tiger Woods Grind Wedge lie setup?
Wedge lie should be checked on both full and partial swings because posture and hand height often change with shot length.

Use the same setup and ball position for a useful comparison.
Should the TaylorMade MG5 Tiger Woods Grind 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.
