Vokey WedgeWorks launching Low Bounce K Grind

Published

on

Building on the successful launch of the Vokey SM8 Wedges earlier this year, Titleist is launching the newest option in the Vokey line through WedgeWorks: the Low Bounce K Grind, available in 58 and 60 degrees.

The K Grind is one of the most popular grinds in the Vokey arsenal thanks to its wider sole, with enhanced camber (curvature of the sole from leading to trailing edge). The benefit of this grind is that offers more forgiveness on shots played around the green, and for players that generally play is medium to softer sand conditions.

Like a lot of wedges in the Vokey line, the new Low Bounce K Grind originates from Bob Vokey and longtime Vokey tour rep Aaron Dill’s work with the best players in the world, and the constant refinement, in search of the perfect short game tools.

“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.”

Some of the Low Bounce K grind’s most popular users include Adam Scott and Webb Simpson who both use the 60-06 model.

Vokey’s man on the ground for PGA Tour events Aaron Dill offered up the inside story of how Scott ended up with the 60.06 K wedge in his bag:

“Adam Scott was using the original Vokey Design 200 series (260.08) wedge for several years. As far back as 2012, we started testing the new K grind with him after he mentioned he was looking to improve his bunker play. He was seeking more forgiveness and – after some blind testing – Adam was blown away by how much easier coming out of the sand could be with this grind. We started with a 60.10 K, and as conditions firmed up, Adam mentioned that a little less bounce could be the key. The 60.06 K was born and has been in his bag ever since.”

SM8 Technology

The WedgeWorks Low Bounce K Grind wedges offer the same technology that golfers have come to love in the SM8 line.

This includes a progressive center of gravity that pushes outside and in front of the face for boosted MOI, greater consistency, and trajectory control, as well as Spin Milled grooves to produce maximum spin, and a heat-treated face for long term durability.

Customization Options

Like all Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks wedges, the Low Bounce K offers a large canvas for golfers to customize. Options included in the stock price are:

  • Six unique toe engravings.
  • Expanded stamping options that offer 10-character Straight or dancing, 15 characters curved around the toe, and  5-character staircase style.
  • Custom painted Loft and Grind markings including the BV Wings logo.

Pricing and Availability

Both of the new WedgeWorks Low Bounce K Grind wedges are available immediately in both right and left hand for custom order from any Titleist Account or at Vokey.com.

Finishes include the new Satin Tour Chrome and Raw with the stock being the True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 and the Stock grip Tour Velvet 360.

The $199 price includes custom stamping options, custom ferrule as well as a custom shaft band. Additional customizations are also available for additional fees and you can see all of the options at vokey.com

    This is typical Vokey and it drives me nuts

    All grind options and all finished should be available as standard retail

    How can a raw, unfinished wedge be more expensive than a finished one???

    If it is a special finish that costs more commercially then fine, just add $20 to the list price, but make it freely available

    Grinds cost noting extra – why do I have to pay more for a T or a V or low bounce K?

    Even after my rant I paid $195 each for 3 x WedgeWorks Raw wedges….so Vokey clearly understand the Ho very well

    Why not just make this a stock offering in the SM8 line? They already have like 50 grind options, why is this one $200? For $200 it should at least have a special finish (blue slate?) or no upcharge shaft and grip options. There’s absolutely nothing premium about this that warrants the premium price.

    Who pays full retail for these and WHY?

    No 56 degree with the K-Grind?? Bummer. The K-Grind is a great bounce especially for the 60, but really would like to see it on a 56.

    The pricing is ridiculous. Just buy a year old wedge for under $100

    I mean this is exactly what I want but the fact that it wont come with Tour Issue S400 or a full cord grip without an additional $50 in upcharge, is nuts.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
