Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks A+ Grind

Vokey is at it again with its newest WedgeWorks release coming in hot, and this one is definitely special. You might have read about the recent release of the L-Grind (here: Vokey WedgeWorks L-Grind Wedges – The Hackers Paradise) which is the brand bringing a design back into the fold through their WedgeWorks platform. This release, however, is different, it is an A+, quite literally.

For a while now, there has been a bit of buzz with the sighting of a new grind in the bags of some of the Titleist staffers on Tour, that is the A+. This one is an evolution of the A-Grind, which was designed from a collaboration between former U.S. Open Champion Geoff Ogilvy and Titleist Tour Representative, Aaron Dill. 

That A-Grind was created based upon Ogilvy seeking out a wedge which moved through the turf faster than the recent L-Grind WedgeWorks release. For that, they essentially took the L-Grind and removed material which created a more smoothed-out sole which would meet less resistance entering and exiting the turf. Where the A+ was born is taking that concept and understanding that some golfers could benefit from more sole width and increased bounce.

So, Aaron Dill and company subbed out the L-Grind as the foundation and replaced it with an M-Grind, Bob Vokey’s favorite. From there, the same “ribbon” of material was removed which made the A-Grind, but here became the new A+. According to Dill:

“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. A+ comes from taking their gamer M Grind and removing the ribbon from the center of the sole.  Those players found the leading edge of the A+ sat a bit lower, and the wedge moved faster through the ground. That helped to unlock a bit more versatility for some based on how they deliver the club to the ball.” 

So, at its root, the A+ Grind is an option for golfers who favor a smooth but fast feeling wedge, but utilize a more neutral AoA in a variety of turf conditions. The new WedgeWorks A+ is available now in 58 and 60 degree lofts (RH only) in Raw finish. Pricing starts at $225, with all the expected WedgeWorks add-ons and customizations available as well.
