We prove that the signature bound for the topological 4‐genus of 3‐strand torus knots is sharp, using McCoy's twisting method. We also show that the bound is off by at most 1 for 4‐strand and 6‐strand torus knots, and improve the upper bound on the asymptotic ratio between the topological 4‐genus and the Seifert genus of torus knots from 2/3 to 14/27.
