Vokey Unveils Complete SM11 Wedge Works Grind Options

With lob wedges becoming such specialty tools, Titleist and Vokey have been slowly adding options, going back to the SM9 models. Traditionally, this would mean releases sequenced through the year to line up with major golf events - but to buck the trend, and ensure golfers are getting what they need in every fit, they're opening the floodgates, and offering all six tour-proven grinds starting today.

Having more grind options just gives us more tools to work with, whether it’s with tour players or dedicated amateurs. When a player gets their hands on the right grind, everything seems to click into place. The WedgeWorks lineup gives us the chance to find that optimal fit across even more playing styles and delivery patterns.

The five additional grinds to go along with the full array of inline Vokey SM11 options include: the L, A, K* (Star), A+ (Plus) and V grinds. On top of that, the 62° M-Grind will also join the Wedge Work options for those golfers looking for a more lofted lob wedge option.

Wedge Work Grind Details

L Grind

This is a narrow-sole option that features more bounce towards the leading edge to offer protection against digging, while also having a low-bounce grind that removes material from the trailing edge, heel, and toe.

A Grind

The A grind originated from a modified L grind and features a smoother transition from the leading edge to the rear of the sole. This helps it move through the turf with limited resistance and is ideal for firm conditions and tight turf.

This grind was the brainchild of U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, who worked with Aaron Dill to build a wedge that would perform in firm conditions like those found in his native Australia.

K* (Star)

This modified low-bounce K-grind offers a more blunted pre-worn leading edge, plus additional trailing edge relief to create more sole camber (roundness from front to back). This design prevents digging on square shots while reducing it on open-faced shots commonly hit from the sand.

This is one of the most popular lob wedge grinds on the PGA TOUR.

A+ Grind

The A+ comes from a modified M grind, and just like how the standard A has the more angled grind lines removed, this modification helps the A+ play better on more firm turf.

On tour over the years, we started seeing some loyal M Grind players who were finding that sole to be a little too bouncy for their liking. Those players found the leading edge of the A+ sat a bit lower, and the wedge moved faster through the ground, unlocking a bit more versatility.

V Grind

This higher bounce options is designed to prevent digging on square faced shots for players who tend to deliver the club with less dynamic loft and tend to take larger divots. But, even with the added bounce, it has a lot of heel and tor relief to make it versatile.

V Grind players are often a little steeper in their deliveries. They have a little more shaft lean, which means they’re delofting and taking some bounce away. The V Grind also really suits them in softer conditions, or if they’re playing on courses with grainy turf. That’s where the forward bounce comes into play.
