Vokey releases Augusta-inspired 64T on WedgeWorks

A 64-degree wedge never makes more sense than it does at Augusta. If you face similar obstacles at your home course, or like to channel your inner Phil, Vokey has something for you in the form of its new 64T limited-edition wedge, available through WedgeWorks.

The wedge has 64 degrees of loft and Vokey’s T Grind, which helps golfer make the most of the specialized wedge from a variety of lies with enhanced heel, toe and trailing edge relief. There’s enough bounce for a bunker shot at Augusta National, or where ever you’re playing, but the curvature of the sole will still allow (advanced) players to nip it cleanly off the tightest lies.

Maybe most important for Vokey fans is that the 64T marks the first time the company has integrated its Progressive Center of Gravity (CG) technology, first seen in the company’s SM6 wedges, in a WedgeWorks release. That’s likely a sign of things to come.

The 64T ($250) has a Brushed PVD finish and is available now through WedgeWorks on Vokey.com. And for course, as part of WedgeWorks, every Vokey 64T can be customized with personalized stamping the choice of 12 paint fill colors.

250 and it’s not even forged. Vokey wedges have always been a rip off for what you pay.

I can think of one course here in central michigan that I would need that wedge for on a hot dry summer day. The fairways are super soft here and only certain courses have fast greens.

I have never seen the use for a 60 degree wedge as a 55 or 56 degree wedge can do the same thing and is much easier to chip with.

Not enough bounce for the normal golfer. That is a no mistake, shallow swing wedge. I have a PM Grind 64 in a KBS 610 – now that is a versatile wedge, even on tight lies. If you want a 64, the PM is probably the better choice for most — demo

Lefties need not apply. NOT available in left-handed. Pretty sure I wouldn’t shell out the $250 for it anyway.

You’d think they’d offer this in more than one loft?

Michael Block spotted with full set of TaylorMade “Proto” irons at Valhalla

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.

On Monday at the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, Block had a full set of TaylorMade “Proto” irons in the bag.

Block is the first player of many on the PGA TOUR to bag a set of the mysterious “Proto” irons. Rory McIlroy first switched into a “Proto” 4-iron at the Valero Texas Open, and Collin Morikawa followed suit at the 2024 RBC Heritage. Block isn’t using just the 4-iron, though, he’s using a full set to go along with a TaylorMade Stealth UDI driving iron.

Speaking with GolfWRX.com on Monday at the PGA Championship, Block revealed the full backstory.

“I hit a couple super “Proto” irons when I was at the Kingdom (TaylorMade’s fitting facility in Southern California) a couple months ago, and it was a 9-iron that didn’t have any badges or anything on it,” Block said. “I had no idea what it was … It was very similar to what I was using back then, you know, my old MCs, and very similar from the top. I hit it and absolutely loved it. For me to even think about switching irons from the last 11-12 years is crazy.

“I got this set about two weeks ago, and I’m working my way into them. I hit them more solid; it comes off the face more solid. Much higher. I think they’re still slightly too upright for me, so they’re being bent a degree flatter, because they’re going a little too high for me and drawing a little too much. When that starts to happen, I start to drop the club under and compensate too much, so I’m getting them flattened slightly, and I’m going to test them on the range again, and hopefully have them in play on Thursday…

“They go further, and they go higher … that combination is kind of a no-brainer. If I can take a 5-iron from 204 rather than a 4-iron, it’s good on me. It’s going to help me out for sure, especially at a major with the pin locations. Having that height coming in, that descent angle is going to be huge.”

With such new irons in the bag, after using the same irons for over a decade, surely you’d think there will be a bit of a learning curve. Block, however, is finding immediate comfort with the new “Proto” irons.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Rory McIlroy outlasted Phil Mickelson at the 2014 PGA Championship. It’s even harder to believe McIlroy hasn’t hoisted a major trophy since his 2014 victory at Valhalla.

After a slow start to his final round, McIlroy tallied an eagle and two birdies on the back nine and his fourth major championship. Take a look at the clubs he played a decade ago in Kentucky.
