Vokey releases J Grind on WedgeWorks

Published

on

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.

Titleist launches Pro V1, Pro V1x and Pro V1x Left Dash balls with enhanced alignment

Published

on

Titleist has today introduced Pro V1, Pro V1x and Pro V1x Left Dash golf balls featuring enhanced alignment.

The new Enhanced Alignment aid is an extended alignment sidestamp designed for more precise aim and accuracy. The elongated sidestamp provides a built-in visual aid and measures over 65 percent longer than the standard Pro V1 sidestamp.

“Enhanced Alignment is designed for golfers who are seeking a more detailed, built-in alignment feature on their Pro V1, Pro V1x or Pro V1x Left Dash. We saw overwhelming interest in the single-colored line on Pro V1 Performance Alignment, and this is another alternative for players who prefer a slightly different look.” – Jeremy Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Marketing

In addition to Enhanced Alignment, Titleist offers more than 40 different alignment aid designs on Pro V1’s fourth pole – opposite the sidestamp – through custom order on Titleist.com.

Pro V1, Pro V1x and Pro V1x Left Dash Enhanced Alignment golf balls are available to order through titleist.com and at authorized Titleist retailers beginning on May 17 in the United States only. Enhanced Alignment is available globally on July 1.

Cobra launches 3D-printed LIMIT3D irons

Published

on

Cobra released its first commercially available 3D-printed steel putter in 2020. Now, the company is bringing its first 3D-printed irons to retail with new LIMIT3D irons, which Cobra’s vice president of product architecture, Jose Miraflor, calls “the most significant technological advancement to happen to the category in the past 20 years” and “a look into the future of golf club design and performance.”

Cobra leveraged the expertise of computational design software firm nTop to create an ambitious design: a compact players blade that offers similar forgiveness as a larger, game-improvement style club and forged iron feel.

Speaking on the partnership, Mike Yagley, Vice President of Innovation & AI, Cobra Golf said, “nTop’s computational design tools integrated with 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, allowed us to create an incredible new design that looks and feels like a forged blade but performs like a larger, game-improvement iron. No one has done this before, and we’re excited to introduce these unique irons to the world.”

As Cobra explains, more forgiving irons are traditionally larger and sacrifice feel. Due to the limitations of casting and forging, creating a more compact, better-feeling iron that still delivers forgiveness was only possible with 3D printing. The resulting profile of Cobra’s LIMIT3D irons is smaller than Cobra’s King Tour irons.

LIMIT3D irons are 3D printed for 316L stainless steel with an internal lattice structure, which allowed engineers to position 33 percent of the iron’s overall weight to the exterior for greater MOI. 100 grams of tungsten is positioned in the heel and toe of each clubhead for low CG for ease of launch and high MOI for greater forgiveness.

Additionally, using nTop’s design software and additive manufacturing allowed for a substantially faster prototyping process, which enabled engineers to test more designs and mass placements for a superior finished product.

Cobra LIMIT3D irons: Pricing, specs, availability

  • 350 individually numbered sets available in the U.S. and Canada (500 sets total worldwide)
  • Available for custom order June 7
  • Price: $3,000
  • Set: 4-PW, RH only
