VOKEY WEDGE GRINDS EXPLAINED // How to pick a wedge grind

K grind - have you guys actually tried it properly? I’m a 3 handicap where short game is the stronger part of my game & have a 58 degree k grind - trust me it’s great in a whole range of situations if you commit to it

...so what you're saying is that Ian loves the D?😏😝

That was an absolutely fantastic review of Vokey wedge grinds. Thank you so much!!!

This is an old video…confused 🤔

Nice but what about the regular played who screws up a few shots,,,,no one has the room in the bag or the time to figure which wedge to carry,,,,normal Guys don’t have all those wedges to choose from in their garage

T-grind is my friend. The hard ground and cement bunkers here in AZ almost requires one.

These guys are world class. Great explanation.

I love you guys

Old video, eh?

Too many ads

The K grind is for Tom Kite.

Does the V grind fit between the M and the D?

Great insight. I have the Kirkland wedges as only been playing a year. Hit a great full shot on them, but open flat face an can thin a ball too easily even with a good swing. They have a wide sole and big bounce. I’m at the stage now where I need a proper wedge fitting

K grind was named after Tom Kite. One of the best wedge players in history.

Ahh, nice to time travel back to RB being on the channel

Magic or tragic...

Excellent explanation of the Vokey grinds. Masteclass. 🙌🙌👍💪😅

Why the repost?

Good info today; as it was when this video was originally published...it my memory serves me right. Wedge selection VERY, VERY, VERY important. Many golfer lack the correct setup and thus rob themselves of having the right tool given those shots from 115 yards and in. Understanding which wedge to use, in relation to the turf and lie of the ball, will result in successful shot to the hole.

Could you do a video on Full Swing vs trackman vs gcQuad?

Old video?

I always think of the L as being for finessing lefty lob shots (Phil the thrill), where K is the alternative to it and is next to L in the alphabet to show they should be considered together. BTW, this was such a brilliant video, Titleist should be paying you for this content ! The resolution options were quite low (720p) on the video, don't know if that is me or what was uploaded.

ARE BEEEEEEE

by way of my fitting, 2-degrees flat in my irons. Stay 2-degrees flat in my wedges (Generally that is)?

K stands for Kite as in Tom Kite... At least that is what I've heard

I think this an upload issue. Early today should you be playing a 9 wood was up then replaced by this old video?

K grind for winter, T grind for summer.

"..the D and I are great friends.." lollll Good one Ian!

What about T and V grind

Holy haircut

So a Putter and 13 vokey wedges then

Love my 58 D 12. Even when conditions get firm in Texas, it is so functional. So good out of the rough as well.

for a SW-56, which grind would be best for beginners? I tried a few websites and they suggested either an S grind (10 bounce) or D grind (12 bounce), but I have no clue which one is best for a beginner, any suggestions?

The K grind is named after Tom Kite.

Curious to hear how Mikey found the switch from 54-10-S, to 54-12-D?
I play in neutral to soft conditions and Cary a 62-08-M (that I love) and a 54-08-S but I find in the canadian spring and fall i could use a little more Bounce, in my 54 and am contemplating the switch myself to the 54-12-D

Great video. Love the information. I love the K grind and you can totally open it and even use it even off tight lies. I also can hit it low and running. i think its much more versatile than you give it credit for

How do you play the K-grind in the bunkers? Open face?

I think K stands for Kite

Best video on Wedge Grind’$ I’ve seen yet. In addition Great Analogies to translate though.
Thx Guys. 1.Match Strike 2. Skipping A Rock
Excellent !

K Gride is from Tom Kite

K for Tom Kite

Why is it filmed in 720p? It's 2024..

Where is the T-grind?

I kinda avoid Titleist wedges cause there are way too many options. I do not have access to fitters living here on Kauai, HI. Course here can be firm but they keep it soft and wet as u get closer to the green. Bunkers vary from one course to the next. Makes no sense that courses on an island surround by sand can have no sand but it happens. The when u go to another course, they have too much sand that feels light but plays heavy. Would you just get the F grind if you were me? Anyways, I just order 50 and 56 set at 55 in F grind and 60 in K grind. Hoping it works out.

Just got fitted into the sm10 58* K and genuinely couldn’t believe how much better it was compared to my Mizuno T20 56 10* (off a mat and turf during the fitting). I’ve not played a round of golf with it so not counting my chickens quite yet but it felt so easy compared to what I’m used to. Went 58 instead of 56 as my highest loft so I don’t need to be opening the face. Also off a tight lie, I pulled the ball slightly back in my stance and it still worked a treat. (3 weeks wait time for the Raw finish … really excited!)

Is Ian based in Toronto now?!?

I value the technical content, but guys: c'mon, you need to spice it up. It is dry to the point of boring. This channel could. be so much more.

Not bad but USELESS in showing l, in a flash, the data for the grinds. How about slo motion of club head on impact with explanation pro & con.

I have Taylormade MG1 48, 54 and 60 wedges and really love them but am looking at moving to Vokeys. Which grind would be the most similar?

If only Ian could fast forward a few months when he’s fitting for the M grind and it serves him best
