Called the TP Z Wedge, it's Z groove is so-named because TaylorMade's R&D team uses the letters of the alphabet to name the grooves it develops.
TP, the company explains, stands for Tour Preferred®, and delineates those TaylorMade clubs that have been designed with the express input and feedback of tour professionals and the Z groove features 10% more volume than TaylorMade's Y grooves, also known as Y-cutter grooves.
The Z groove's larger volume equals added room to channel groove-clogging, spin-killing obstacles such as grass, debris and moisture.
The Z grooves also incorporate strong, sharp edges designed to deliver added traction on the ball's cover to promote more shot-stopping bite.
Like all TaylorMade wedges, the Z TP combines a classically beautiful teardrop shape with large rac¿ Feel Pockets on the back side of the clubhead.
The size, shape and position of the Feel Pockets help to channel impact vibration to strategic areas of the clubhead to promote the exceptionally soft-yet-solid feel at impact that TaylorMade wedges are famous for delivering.
Z TP Wedge
The Z TP wedge is offered in five lofts: 52°, 54°, 56°, 58° and 60° with the 54°, 56°, 58° models feature TaylorMade's C-grind sole, which was developed on tour to make it exceptionally easy to open the face to play a variety of different greenside shots.
The Z TP wedge also features a smoky-looking PVD finish that's as durable as it is beautiful, as well as TaylorMade's eye-catching TP logo on the back of the head between the Feel Pockets.
"The Z TP wedge does it all," boasted Brian Bazzel, TaylorMade's manager of iron and wedge creation, tghis week.
"The Z grooves succeed at grabbing the ball and spinning it in all kinds of conditions, and tour pros love the classy look of the new PVD finish," Bazzel added.

The new wedges will be available at TaylorMade's retail partners in April at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $140 per club.
