Vokey releases J Grind on WedgeWorks
Vokey’s K Grind wedge was once a limited-edition release through the company’s WedgeWorks program. Several limited releases later, it made its way to the company’s SM5 and TVD families as an option for golfers everywhere.
Will that be the case with the company’s new J Grind wedge? Time will tell.

For now, the J Grind ($225) is only available through WedgeWorks, and is likely to sell out soon. It’s offered in a single loft for right-handed golfers — 60 degrees with 8 degrees of bounce — and like the K Grind it has a wide, cambered sole. Unlike the K Grind, however, it is heavily relieved on the back of its sole, which will be appreciated by golfers looking for less effective bounce than the K Grind provides.
[quote_box_center]”Many players were asking for these same performance characteristics this week at Augusta,” according to a Titleist representative. “The wide sole gives them playability out of the sand but because of the lower effective bounce, they can also execute shots from tight fairway conditions.”[/quote_box_center]

Like all WedgeWorks releases, the wedge is fully customizable with your choice of stampings, engravings, paintfill, ferrules, shaft/shaft band/grip options and lie/length options.

titleist stole the design…
designed by Texas golfers..hence the reason for the ability to hit from “tight fairway conditions”
texas golf has more tight lies than anywhere…

8 is not a lot of bounce for aggressive players. Hmmm, for $180, you can have your custom Edel grind, shaft, loft lie, stampings.

Yep, thats the one I miss in my bag.
Was thinking of the K grind but this one is actually what I had in mind. Wonder if they ship overseas or maybe my local Titleist Fitter can get me one.
