Lower bounce K Grind now available on WedgeWorks

Maybe you missed Vokey’s limited release of the Links K on WedgeWorks on July 15. If you did, Vokey is giving you another shot with its new lower-bounce K Grind wedges.

The new wedges are available in four lofts (54, 56, 58 and 60 degrees), and their release allows golfers to buy a sand-wedge loft K Grind wedge (54-10, 56-10) from the company. The lob wedges (58-06, 60-06) use only 6 degrees of bounce, and for that reason they’re preferred by several big-name players on the PGA Tour including Jason Dufner and Adam Scott.

Here’s how they’re different.

Like the SM5 K Grind wedges, which are available in 58-11 and 60-11, the WedgeWorks exclusive model has a sole grind that is wider and more cambered than any other Vokey grind. That makes the wedges extremely easy to use from the bunker. Unlike the stock model, however, the new lob wedges only have 6 degrees of bounce. That improves their versatility in hard, tight fairway conditions.

[quote_box_center]”They have been a wonderful addition to the line and a miracle club for players with bunker issues,” said Vokey Tour Rep Aaron Dill. “The U.S. Open was the perfect place to have players test them because the bunkers were soft and grounds were hard as a rock. Bob [Vokey] and I knew how important bounce was, but I think the K for me was a real eye opener because it made me realize that bounce in the right spots was key as well.”[/quote_box_center]

The new wedges have Vokey’s Spin Milled TX3 grooves, and sell for $180 on WedgeWorks. A choice of 8-character stampings, a BV Wings grip, a WedgeWorks shaft band, snow stampings, toe engravings, shaft laster etching and custom grip, shaft and ferrule options are available for an upcharge.

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored. One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs. They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done. This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did. But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest. They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world. I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″
