Lower bounce K Grind now available on WedgeWorks

Published

on

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.

    Not necessarily, they are wide with camber. Unlike the links K, which has no camber. I’d buy some if they were offered in a raw finish.

    I’ve been dying to try a K grind out. Fairways are super soft up here in Michigan.

      Ummmmmm, they have LOW bounce, which makes them good for firm conditions, NOT soft.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
