Vokey Design WedgeWorks Introduces K* Grind Lob Wedge
Titleist's "ultimate bunker club", now available through WedgeWorks
The Vokey Design WedgeWorks K* lob wedge, a popular grind on Tour with some of the game’s best players, is now available for the first time through WedgeWorks. The grind is ideal for the player with a neutral to shallow attack angle who plays on a variety of turf conditions.
Like all Vokey Design grinds, K* is a product of the collaboration between Master Craftsman Bob Vokey, Vokey Tour Representative Aaron Dill and the best players in the world. The K* Grind originated from player requests to modify the sole of the popular Low Bounce K Grind lob wedge. Instead of the full, smooth sole of the K Grind, the sole of the K* Grind features a steeper pre-wear on the leading edge along with heel, toe and trailing edge relief.
The steeper pre-wear on K* adds forgiveness from the square-faced position, with a narrow ribbon of added bounce along the leading edge helping to resist excessive digging. In an open-faced position, the heel, toe and trailing edge relief on K* allows the leading edge to sit closer to the ground, adding greenside versatility by helping the player slide under the ball easier. And like all K Grind variations, K* has a wide sole that excels out of the bunker.
Performance across a variety of playing positions and turf conditions is one reason why K* is in the bags of players such as Justin Thomas, Cameron Young and Ludvig Åberg, as well as the 2014 Champion Golfer of the Year.
K* ON TOUR
The K* is trusted by many players across the worldwide professional tours. It is the go-to lob wedge for Cameron Young, who had both a 58- and a 60-degree (@ 62) K* wedge in the bag for his Saturday 59 at the Travelers Championship this summer, and the 2014 Champion Golfer of the Year, who used a 58K* lob wedge in winning twice this year on the PGA TOUR.
Ludvig Åberg carries a 60K* as an option week-to-week, having switched into it from his higher-bounce V Grind for the first time this year to adjust for the firmer conditions of the Scottish Open and the Open Championship. Justin Thomas also travels with a 60K* every week, which he alternates with his 60.04T lob wedge.
