What are the best TaylorMade wedges for beginners?
For new starters practicing approach shots, we’d recommend Hi-Toe 4 wedges.

Meanwhile, TaylorMade MG4 wedges will help your spin thanks to its laser-etched spin tread and raw face – perfect for building confidence, especially in wet conditions.
What are the most forgiving TaylorMade irons?
Given how much of your golf bag is made up from your irons, choosing a forgiving set can make a huge difference to your playing and enjoyment. TaylorMade offers a lot of iron variations, so let’s break down some of its models:

Absolutely – TaylorMade QI irons are perfect for new starters who want to play confidently and continuously improve their game. Beginners can take peace of mind from their patented face technology, strategically tailored to deliver the launch and spin needed for straight, consistent shots through the whole set.

Are TaylorMade P790 irons good for beginners?
While it’s possible to start out with a TaylorMade P790 iron (some newbies may enjoy the more compact clubheads), these technically advanced irons are better suited to mid-handicap players due to their moderate forgiveness levels.
