A new limited edition 58- and 60-degree V Grind, designed for more bounce on square-face shots and enhanced relief on open-face shots, is being offered by Vokey WedgeWorks.
“This wedge is ideal for golfers that play in normal to soft soil conditions, as well as on courses where the bunkers have more sand,” said Bob Vokey, master craftsman. “It is also ideal for players with neutral to steeper angles of attack who still like to open the face when hitting shots around the green.”
On full shots, the V Grind features high measured bounce forward on the sole. Yet when the face of the V Grind is opened, the wedge produces increased versatility through heel, toe and trailing edge sole relief, allowing the leading edge to stay closer to the ground.
The WedgeWorks V Grind ($225) – each with 10 degrees of effective bounce and available right-handed only in Tour Chrome or Raw finishes – is visually similar to the SM9 T Grind due to the narrower forward sole toward the leading edge and aggressive heel, toe and trailing edge relief. The V Grind, however, plays to a higher effective bounce than the T Grind. It is also better suited to players who have a neutral to steep angle of attack around the green and on fuller swings, whereas the T grind is designed for players with a more shallow delivery.
