Spotted: Custom Titleist Vokey 64-degree W Grind wedge for Joey Garber
Golfers on professional tours use a wide range of wedge lofts to hit the shots they need in order to score well. Not many of us amateurs go with a high-lofted lob wedge like Joey Garber’s 64-degree Vokey. His Vokey is a prototype but there was a 64 W Grind that was available to us in a limited edition through Vokey’s WedgeWorks program. The W Grind offers a wider, low-bounce, sole for firm conditions and courses with lots of elevated greens.
Vokey describes the 64 W Grind
“The 64W is a unique wedge made for players who play in firm conditions, golf courses with elevated greens and tricky short-sided lies. This wedge is made for the player with quick hands who likes to see the ball elevate quickly, the fearless player who isn’t afraid to attack any pin. The sole is a medium-width sole with slight camber and an effective bounce of 4°.”
It looks like Garber’s wedge might have a little more bounce than the retail model as we see a “9” stamped in the Proto stamping on the toe. He has also gone with what looks like a raw steel finish over the retail model’s black finish.
A Mitsubishi MMT Scoring Wedge 125 TX is the shaft of choice and the wedge is finished off with a Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord grip.

The year was 2007. The famous/infamous Nike Sasquatch Sumo2 was released the year prior, ditto the Callaway FT-i. It was a (brief) time when, if you were a driver, it was hip to be square.
Fast forward 16 years. Tour Edge revealed on social media this week that it had plans to add right angles to its Exotics line with an epic #TBT post, writing:
“For this #throwbackthursday we’re going to prove that sometimes a product just wasn’t destined to come out…
“That’s the case with this one-of-a-kind Exotics XSi square driver.
“The XSi stood for XTREME SUPER INERTIA, and we were following the design trend of the day back in good ol’ 2007…
“But [in] the end cooler heads prevailed and this one was left on the shelf.
“Literally, we just found it on a shelf in our “museum” and almost every single person who was here at the time had forgotten about it, or just plain never knew it existed.”
Check out photos of the Tour Edge Exotics XSi, below!
