Vokey WedgeWorks launching Low Bounce K Grind

Published

May 20, 2020

Building on the successful launch of the Vokey SM8 Wedges earlier this year, Titleist is launching the newest option in the Vokey line through WedgeWorks: the Low Bounce K Grind, available in 58 and 60 degrees.

The K Grind is one of the most popular grinds in the Vokey arsenal thanks to its wider sole, with enhanced camber (curvature of the sole from leading to trailing edge). The benefit of this grind is that offers more forgiveness on shots played around the green, and for players that generally play is medium to softer sand conditions.

Like a lot of wedges in the Vokey line, the new Low Bounce K Grind originates from Bob Vokey and longtime Vokey tour rep Aaron Dill’s work with the best players in the world, and the constant refinement, in search of the perfect short game tools.

“Several players preferred the K grind sole but were seeking a lower bounce version,” said Vokey.

“As a result, we crafted a sole with 6° of effective bounce, while maintaining the wide camber that makes the K design so effective for a wide variety of players. As soon as we brought it out on tour, it was immediately accepted and in the bags of multiple players as soon as they had a chance to test it.”

Some of the Low Bounce K grind’s most popular users include Adam Scott and Webb Simpson who both use the 60-06 model.

Vokey’s man on the ground for PGA Tour events Aaron Dill offered up the inside story of how Scott ended up with the 60.06 K wedge in his bag:

“Adam Scott was using the original Vokey Design 200 series (260.08) wedge for several years. As far back as 2012, we started testing the new K grind with him after he mentioned he was looking to improve his bunker play. He was seeking more forgiveness and – after some blind testing – Adam was blown away by how much easier coming out of the sand could be with this grind. We started with a 60.10 K, and as conditions firmed up, Adam mentioned that a little less bounce could be the key. The 60.06 K was born and has been in his bag ever since.”

SM8 Technology

The WedgeWorks Low Bounce K Grind wedges offer the same technology that golfers have come to love in the SM8 line.

This includes a progressive center of gravity that pushes outside and in front of the face for boosted MOI, greater consistency, and trajectory control, as well as Spin Milled grooves to produce maximum spin, and a heat-treated face for long term durability.

Customization Options

Like all Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks wedges, the Low Bounce K offers a large canvas for golfers to customize. Options included in the stock price are:

Six unique toe engravings.
Expanded stamping options that offer 10-character Straight or dancing, 15 characters curved around the toe, and 5-character staircase style.
Custom painted Loft and Grind markings including the BV Wings logo.

Pricing and Availability

Both of the new WedgeWorks Low Bounce K Grind wedges are available immediately in both right and left hand for custom order from any Titleist Account or at Vokey.com.

Finishes include the new Satin Tour Chrome and Raw with the stock being the True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 and the Stock grip Tour Velvet 360.

The $199 price includes custom stamping options, custom ferrule as well as a custom shaft band. Additional customizations are also available for additional fees and you can see all of the options at vokey.com

This is typical Vokey and it drives me nuts

All grind options and all finished should be available as standard retail

How can a raw, unfinished wedge be more expensive than a finished one???

If it is a special finish that costs more commercially then fine, just add $20 to the list price, but make it freely available

Grinds cost noting extra – why do I have to pay more for a T or a V or low bounce K?

Even after my rant I paid $195 each for 3 x WedgeWorks Raw wedges….so Vokey clearly understand the Ho very well

Why not just make this a stock offering in the SM8 line? They already have like 50 grind options, why is this one $200? For $200 it should at least have a special finish (blue slate?) or no upcharge shaft and grip options. There’s absolutely nothing premium about this that warrants the premium price.

No 56 degree with the K-Grind?? Bummer. The K-Grind is a great bounce especially for the 60, but really would like to see it on a 56.

The pricing is ridiculous. Just buy a year old wedge for under $100

I mean this is exactly what I want but the fact that it wont come with Tour Issue S400 or a full cord grip without an additional $50 in upcharge, is nuts.

Interesting clubs at top of bag – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, users are talking about top of bag setups that are non-traditional or thought-provoking in some way. Original poster @SuperSpurs106 inquired about other members who might use unorthodox set-ups to help with gapping issues or weak spots.

They wrote:

“I currently have a PING G430 driver, TM Qi35 3W and a TM Qi4D 7W. Driver and 7W are fine but can’t get on with my 3W and have always struggling with this club over the years. Thinking of adding a 2H which I know would look odd. Just wondering if anyone else had a weird set up at the top of their bag?”

Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts and personal experiences with non-traditional top of bag set-ups, and their reasoning for thinking outside of the box to begin with. 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.

BowMain42: “Don’t worry about what “looks” odd. If the club does what you need it to do, it’s the right club.”
scooterhd2: “I cant hit 3 woods either. Thats why I roll with a unicorn XL Hibore 2 wood. 400 cc head at 16 degrees of loft and its just a monster 3 wood off the tee. Off the deck, we are playing the f6 baffler. 5 wood at 41.75 inches and its easy to control.”
phizzy30: “I had driver, 3 metal, 2/4 hybrid once upon a time as a higher ss player. 4 hybrid is gone and in place is a driving iron nowadays. I don’t think what you’re proposing is weird in anyway, however the yardage gap might be glaringly huge between driver and 2 hybrid. What is it about your 3 metal that has got you all messed up? You could always go 4 metal with shorter shaft and see if that works.”

Members of the Mini Driver Club – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has gone searching for fellow users of a mini driver. In a post, @TightFade asked for other mini driver users to chime in with their weapon of choice, the reason for employing a mini, and what club follows it in the bag.

@TightFade asked:

“What mini are you playing? What spot in the bag did it take over? What’s the next club after it? For me: Elyte mini 13.5. Replacing 3w. Next up club looks like it’ll be 5w.”

Our members in the forum have been sharing their own bag setups featuring the mini driver, and the various reasons they purchased one in the first place. 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.

RCGA: “Ping G430 Max 12* ‘Thriver.’ Next club is a 4w and 2i (I play a weird course).”
JMB3: “R7 at 12.75 with Diamana BB 63s. 3w replacement. Next Club: Elyte Ti 5w at 17*.”
ColdOkieGolf: “R7 15.5 turned down to 13.5 It replaces the 3w. I found it surprisingly easy to hit off the deck, and it’s very rare that I need or want to hit something beyond 250 from the fairway, so next club is my 7w.”
ChaosTheory: “I’m sub-90 MPH with driver. But I’m able to hit DOD. I have been wanting something like the R7 15.5, so I just ordered one. I have a spot in the bag so nothing has to go. But I could see it replacing my trusty 4 wood, which I never use for approach shots. Just tee shots and lay ups. If I drop the 4 wood, I will turn my 7 wood down to ~20 degrees and will have good gaps. I recently tried a thriver build: 12 degree driver turned to 14, with a heavier 44 inch shaft and added head weight. I hit it great. Very accurate and not overly high, but the problem was that it sometimes went as far as a typical drive. And that’s not what I needed. So I will probably turn the 15.5 up to 16.5 or even 17.5. It’s all theoretical at this point. ?”
