For wedge fans like me, you can never get enough Bob Vokey. His newest Titleist Vokey Design wedges – the 58.06K and 60.06K lob wedges – each offer. The .06K the greenside versatility of a low bounce lob wedge with the added forgiveness of a wide K Grind sole, which excels out of the bunker. These features are particularly geared towards players with shallower deliveries, or those who play on firmer turf conditions, yet still benefit from the performance of a wider sole.
The .06K Grind lob wedge, which has been available as a WedgeWorks offering in prior years, was born out of the collaboration between Bob Vokey and players competing at the highest level of professional golf. In the case of the .06K Grind, Vokey found that some players preferred the K Grind sole but needed a lower bounce version to hit higher, softer pitches off the firm, tight lies on tour.
“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.”
One of Vokey’s three keys to great wedge play is shot versatility. Short game creativity and shotmaking ability can be unlocked through playing a properly fitted wedge set, and with its now 27 different loft, bounce and grind combinations, the Vokey SM10 line has offerings for every player. The addition of the 58.06K and 60.06K lob wedges ($189 each) gives players alternative low bounce options to the narrower 58.04T and 60.04T models.
