Vokey WedgeWorks releases 60 V Grind with Pro Channel

Published

on

If you’re a regular viewer of our weekly photos from the professional tours, you might have noticed Robert Streb’s unique Vokey lob wedge. You may have even wished that you could try the unique grind.

Well, now you can.

Streb used this Island Green-inspired wedge the week of The Players Championship.

Streb used this Island Green-inspired wedge the week of The Players Championship.

Vokey WedgeWorks has released limited-quantities of the wedge inspired by the company’s work with Robert Streb and other players, officially called the V Grind with Pro Channel.

A wedge with a V Grind, which is a custom grind available through Vokey Hand Ground — has a narrow, high-bounce section on the front of the sole to resist digging. What’s unique about this wedge is the combination of the V Grind with a Pro Channel, a groove cut into the back of the sole that effectively narrows the bounce area and allows the leading edge to sit flatter to the ground when the wedge is opened for greater versatility around the greens.

The WedgeWorks exclusive sells for $275 and comes with a raw finish. As always with WedgeWorks, golfers can personalize the 60V with Pro Channel in a variety of ways.

    Just google Ram Troon Grind and you will see this Vokey copy. I had one in my bag 20+ years ago. I really liked it as I could lay it almost perfectly flat. It was great for hitting extra high shots off tight lies to close pins. But in reality why carry a club for a shot you might use once every couple of rounds.

      What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

      But if I can get someone to pay $275 than thats on them not me.

    $275 for a harsh feeling, paying for a name wedge? But it is inspired by Robert Streb that has to add nothing. What a joke vokey and cameron are becoming.

      They only feel harsh when you don’t them in the center…but yes, $275 is a ghastly price to pay for a wedge…errr…grind…especially when you consider that their hybrids cost the same.

      No. V grind has been around for a LONG time. Zach Johnson has used one over 10 years

Putter Roundup: 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Published

on

We always get some great photos of some phenomenal putters at tour events and love to share them. Here are a few from the 2024 Zurich Classic that caught our eye and seemed interesting. (And as a reminder, you can check out all our photos from New Orleans here)

MJ Daffue’s Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype

MJ is going with the new Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype this week. The putter is a multi-piece mallet that puts an emphasis on stability with the wings on the back. Daffue’s putter does have a design that differs from retail with a monotone finish, which eliminates the black paint on the aluminum parts that we see at retail. He also has a half siteline milled into the top and an L-neck welded on for some additional toe hang. The face features a deeper milling that should offer a softer feel and slightly quieter sound.

Scotty Cameron T-7.5 Prototype

We spotted a few different Scotty Cameron Phantom models with modified rear flanges. It looks like the straight black flange was cut into a half circle for a little softer look at address. On this T-7.5, you can still see the raw aluminum from the back view, so this might have been a last-minute job to get them out on tour. The semi-circle also has a white line on it, maybe to frame the ball differently.

Alex Fitzpatrick’s Bettinardi SS16 DASS

Alex’s SS16 is made from Bettinardi’s famous D.A.S.S., or double-aged stainless steel, for a softer and more responsive feel. The face has a unique diamond pattern milling and features a logo that I feel like I have seen before, but can’t put a name to. The putter is a classic mid-mallet style with a simple, single white siteline on the top. The sole is clean with just the SS16, DASS, and a green triangle logo on it.

Steve Stricker’s Odyssey White Hot No. 2

This putter has made some amazing putts in its long career! Stricker’s White Hot No. 2 might be in the top 10 of most famous putters in golf. When you see all the dents and lead tape, you know the heel will be up and it will be sinking putts! The soft White Hot insert looks to be in good shape and has less wear on it than the rest of the putter. We don’t know how much lead tape is on the sole, but it has to be multiple layers compacted down over the years.

Doug Ghim’s Scotty Cameron T-7 Prototype

This T-7 should win the award for “best color finish” in this list with its deep chromatic bronze. It looks like Scotty added a cherry bomb dot to the heel of the deep-milled face and filled it with a very dark blue paint. The rest of the putter looks pretty stock with its single site line on the topline and twin site lines down the “fangs” of the putter. Twin 5-gram weights are installed in the sole and the putter is finished off with a gloss black double bend shaft with a fill shaft offset.

Spotted: Project X Denali hybrid shaft

Published

on

Project X’s Denali wood shafts have been seen in more and more golf bags this year as we start off the season. As a refresher, Denali Blue is the mid-launch and mid-spin model while Denali Black is for players seeking lower launch and spin.

Denali combines great feel with stability and increased ball speed. Currently, Project X only offers Denali Blue and Black in wood shafts, but we spotted a hybrid shaft in Daniel Berger’s bag at the 2024 Zurich Classic.

The shaft looks to be a Denali Blue 105G – HY in TX flex. No word on details from Project X yet but we can assume that this is a mid-launching shaft that weighs around 105 grams in Tour X-Stiff flex.

Berger has this shaft in his TaylorMade P770 3-iron, likely for some added launch and spin to hold the green from longer distances.

Hopefully, this means we will see some more shafts coming under the Denali name in the future, as I think many of us would like to try one in a hybrid or utility iron!
