Wedge grind is the manipulation or removal of material from the sole of the club, helping to improve contact with the turf or sand. Grinds allow for more creativity and consistency around the green, providing the correct contact on the face, giving you the confidence to flight the ball lower, with more spin.
Vokey’s tour-proven wedge grinds have each been meticulously developed through years of working with the best players in the world. The variety of Vokey grinds gives players the versatility in their bag to hit any wedge scoring shot with confidence
When using a perfectly fit wedge grind, you can trust that the club is going to do more of the work, even on difficult shots. Wedge bounce is also key to understanding wedge grind, as opening the blade presents more bounce, while closing it down presents less.
Vokey grinds help you manipulate bounce more precisely. The high bounce wedge grinds like the D and K grinds offer more forgiveness on your wedge shots, while the low bounce T grind provides maximum versatility, helping you create shots around the green.
Finding the right grind will give you the most precise contact. Players are looking for the optimum strike position (between grooves 2-5). This produces a lower, more consistent flight with higher spin. Shots struck above this area tend to launch higher and fly shorter with less spin.
It’s important to use the right wedge grinds for your swing type and course conditions, so you can be prepared to hit every kind of wedge shot. Vokey offers many wedge grind options for different situations.
Whatever your swing style or course condition, Vokey SM10 has the versatility to fit any player into their best short game ever.
