Get an Edge With This Wedge
Product: The new Titleist Vokey Design Spin Milled wedges
Overview: The Vokey name has become synonymous with wedges. These new wedges have nine lofts ranging from 48 degrees to 64 degrees. They have three finishes along with multiple bounces and sole grinds.
Wedges feature: A head with a rounder profile as the loft increases. The leading edge of each wedge, according to the company, is squarer in the lower lofts to achieve better alignment. In the higher lofts, the leading edges are more curved to reduce the likelihood of thin shots.
TOUR-inspired tooling: When tooling, Titleist Master Craftsman Bob Vokey and his team handcraft the sole and back of each wedge. The wedges have TOUR-inspired sole grinds, based on prototype M, T, E and TK grinds that Vokey created for PGA TOUR players. The grinds were previously only available to PGA TOUR players and identified by a letter or letters as a kind of shorthand for the most common player preferences.
Key Quote: Vokey says, "In a manner of speaking, the sole is the 'soul' of the wedge."
