Vokey SM10 .06K Grind

Surely you didn’t expect release season to come and go without hearing from Vokey, did you? Most equipment enthusiasts understand that the SM10s were just released last year, so we shouldn’t expect a whole new line of wedges in 2025 to replace them. But what Vokey has done for some time now is release different models with tour grinds throughout the product’s life cycle to help keep things fresh. They have been very busy with these special releases this past year, and it’s been quite fun to follow. Peruse the THP Homepage, and you’ll find articles on six different WedgeWorks releases that have all been introduced since last spring. This time we aren’t getting WedgeWorks exclusive, but instead, Bob Vokey is making a full-time addition to the SM10 lineup with the .06K Grind. 

Another K grind? Yes, you read that correctly. This marks the fourth variant of the K grind released in this cycle, including the WedgeWorks variations. In the SM10 family, the K grind is available only in higher lofts, such as 58° and 60°. The standard version features the widest sole and the highest bounce, which makes it particularly effective from the bunker. While it sees plenty of use on tour, Bob Vokey has received numerous inquiries from players looking for a K grind sole with a lower bounce to more effectively hit those controllable, high, and soft pitches from the tight lies that tour players frequently encounter.

“As a result of those requests, we crafted a K Grind sole with 6 degrees of effective bounce while maintaining the wide camber that makes the K Grind design so helpful for a wide variety of players,” said Vokey. “As soon as we brought it out on tour, it was immediately accepted and in the bags of multiple players as soon as they had a chance to test it.”

Who is it for?

Being an extension of the SM10 line means that golfers will see the .06K Grind on the shelves next to all other SM10 wedges, which will undoubtedly raise the question of which player profile it works best for. Players with a shallower attack angle or those who often play off of firm lies would be the ideal choice for the .06K Grind. Similar to the standard K Grind and its 14° of bounce, this new version will keep the high-cambered, wide sole and maintain its bunker play prowess, just for players that don’t have that steep swing and need that extra bounce. Compared to other high-loft, low-bounce wedges, its sole gives a bit of forgiveness because it will resist digging. 

“In the past few years, our in-line low bounce lob wedges have always had narrow, crescent-shaped soles,” said Corey Gerrard, Director of Marketing, Vokey Wedges. “Whether it was L Grind or T Grind, for some players, those aren’t necessarily the most forgiving sole designs for a low bounce wedge. Adding the .06K allows us to give players, some of whom might fit somewhere between a .08M Grind and a .04T Grind, a low bounce wedge that still offers forgiveness, especially from the bunker.”

The Right Grind For Your Game

With the addition of the .06K Grind, the SM10 line now offers 27 combinations of loft, bounce, and grinds. For many this might seem overwhelming, and it certainly can be. While Titleist and Bob Vokey recommend getting fit for your wedges, they recognize that many of you reading this may not do so. To assist you, they provide an online wedge fitting tool that offers recommendations based on your answers to questions about your game and the conditions of the courses you play. There is also a wedge education section that goes into more depth about the design of each wedge.

The Details – Vokey SM10 .06K Grind

The Vokey SM10 58.06K and 60.06K wedges will be available for pre-sale starting on February 6th, with a retail launch on March 7th, priced at $189.

Both loft configurations will be offered for right- and left-handed golfers and will come in the three main finishes of the SM10 lineup: Tour Chrome, Jet Black, and Nickel. Those who prefer a raw finish can purchase one through the WedgeWorks program.
