Back in January, Titleist launched the new Vokey SM9 wedges and if you missed all of the details, you can find them here. Today, the company is making an addition, with the tour proven K Grind that will be available as part of their WedgeWorks program.
The SM9 K Grind was born the same way as a lot of their designs. From Bob Vokey and Aaron Dill collaborating with tour players on the perfect options and getting feedback from amateurs on what they want and like in a wedge. The SM9 K Grind will favor golfers who like the wide, cambered sole and ease of use green side in thicker grass and sand.
“Several players preferred the K grind sole but were seeking a lower bounce version,” said Vokey. “As a result, we crafted a sole with 6° of effective bounce, while maintaining the wide camber that makes the K design so effective for a wide variety of players. 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.”
Hitting the website today with a price of $225, the Vokey SM9 K Grind will only be available through the WedgeWorks platform. Advanced custom options are all part of this including toe engravings, stamping options and paint fill. Coming in 58 and 60 degree lofts in both RH and LH with the low bounce of only 6 degrees, this is going to be one of the more popular custom options available.
