Vokey Low Bounce K grind 60 degree.
BOB VOKEY has created another classic wedge in the work shop. The wizard of wedges has tour players buzzing and amateurs ready to put the latest Vokey in their bag.
Because with success from the SM9 line growing, expansion is happening with the new 58.06 and 60.06 models.
The new wedge is available in both Tour Chrome and in Raw finishes.
Titleist says that amateurs will find the Low Bounce K will help them out of greenside bunkers, and with shots around the green.
But the creation of the new Low Bounce K comes from both Vokey and Vokey tour representative Aaron Dill’s conversations with tour players.
“Several players have preferred the K grind sole but were seeking a lower bounce version,” said Vokey. “As a result, we crafted a sole with six degrees of effective bounce, while maintaining the wide camber that makes the K design so effective for a variety of players. But as soon as we brought it on tour, it was immediately accepted in the bags of multiple players.”
Titleist says it’s staff players who have had immediate success with the 60.06 K include Cameron Smith, Justin Thomas and Webb Simpson.
THE K GRIND has raised the Center of Gravity by placing more weight across the topline design. It’s a new patented spin milled process, that’s creating a tightening of allowable tolerances. This produces sharper groove in all wedges, and produces a higher and more consistent spin. See the Vokey.com and use the selector tool that will find the proper specifications for your swing.
Specifications on the shaft and grip include Ture Temper Dynamic Gold S200, with a Tour Velvet 360 white grip. Tour Chrome finishes come in right handed only, with Raw finishes available in both left and right handed options. Visit Vokey.com to learn more about the differences between the Low Bounce K Wedges, and the Vokey SM9 grinds. But players whose swing is a more shallow attack angle, will enjoy the new K Grind.
The new Vokey Low Bounce K Grind Wedges are now available in pro shops and golf retail stores. With the MAP set at $225.00.
