Origins of the A Grind
The Vokey Wedgeworks A grind was designed for players who regularly face firm turf conditions and need a wedge that sits tight to the ground. With a versatile sole design and softened grind edges, the A grind wedge creates a clean, faster-moving wedge profile.
Developed through Tour feedback, the A grind is a specialized option for players who already favor versatile grinds like the L and T, but want the feel of a grind with no hard edges when conditions are firm and fast.
What Makes the A Grind Unique
The Vokey Wedgeworks A Grind is defined by its streamlined sole design and ability to move quickly through tight lies and firm turf.
As Vokey Tour Representative Aaron Dill explains:
“The A Grind has softened grind edges that are built for speed in firm conditions. This modification of the sole gives you a thinner flange and no hard edge to the grind, made for firm turf and lightly sanded bunkers. This wedge is made for players in modes like L and T who want the wedge to sit close to the ground and move quickly when conditions are cut tight.”
Key performance features include:
- A grind with a smoothed out grind edges for reduced turf resistance.
- A thinner sole that allows the club to sit lower to the ground.
- Optimized performance in firm turf and light sand conditions.
This design promotes fast, clean interaction with the ground, making it easier to control trajectory and strike quality on tight lies.
Who Should Use the A Grind Wedge
The Vokey A Grind wedge, a Vokey WedgeWorks exclusive grind, is ideal for skilled players who frequently play in firm, fast conditions:
- Players who already use L or T grinds but want a lower, faster sole profile.
- Golfers who play on firm fairways and tightly cut turf.
- Those who prefer a wedge that sits very close to the ground at address.
- Players who need performance from lightly sanded bunkers and tight lies.
It’s a great option for golfers who prioritize speed, precision, and clean turf interaction over added bounce or forgiveness.
