WedgeWorks grinds are the direct result of Master Craftsman Bob Vokey and Vokey Tour Rep Aaron Dill spending decades around the green with the world’s best golfers. By collaborating with tour pros to solve specific greenside challenges, Bob Vokey and Aaron Dill have created a lineup of tour-proven options that provide specialized performance for every swing. These grinds are inspired by unique swings, styles, and conditions–allowing you to find the exact tools to sharpen your short game.
The L Grind
The L is a narrow-soled, low-bounce wedge featuring heel, toe, and trailing edge relief. Positioned between the narrow T and the slightly wider M, it is designed specifically for firm to neutral turf conditions or shallower swings around the green.
- From the Tour Truck: Aaron Dill notes that the L Grind offers "slightly more protection from excessive digging" compared to other low-bounce models. On the PGA TOUR, this is currently played by players like Ludvig Åberg, Brian Harman, J.T. Poston, and Sungjae Im.
- Voke’s Advice: The L Grind is for the player who wants a low-bounce wedge they can really open up, but still needs a little safety net to keep the leading edge from digging too deep on square-faced shots.
The A Grind
The A Grind was created by smoothing out the "ribbon" (grind lines) of an L Grind. This modification creates a sole that moves through the turf with low resistance, ideal for firm, tight conditions.
- From the Tour Truck: This design originated from conversations with Geoff Ogilvy to handle firm Australian Sand Belt conditions. It’s a proven winner, notably used by the 2023 U.S. Open champion to capture his first major.
- Voke’s Advice: If you play on tight fairways and want a wedge that feels like it’s "skated" through the turf without grabbing at all, the A Grind is your tool.
The K* Grind
A Tour favorite, the K* is a modification of the wide-soled K Grind. It features a steeper "pre-wear" on the leading edge along with heel and toe relief, making it a versatile wider sole grind option.
- From the Tour Truck: While the wide sole "excels out of the bunker," the added relief "adds greenside versatility when the face is opened." It’s a staple in the bags of Justin Thomas, Cameron Young, and the 2024 Champion Golfer of the Year.
- Voke’s Advice: The K* Grind works best for the golfer who loves the forgiveness of a wide sole out of the bunker but still wants the freedom to get creative and hit high flops around the green.
The A+ Grind
The A+ is a mid-bounce option created by removing the grind lines from an M Grind. This allows the leading edge to sit lower to the ground, offering a faster feel through the turf than the standard M.
- From the Tour Truck: Aaron Dill noticed that some players, like the 2013 Masters champion, found the standard M sole "a little too bouncy for their liking." The A+ "unlocked a bit more versatility" for these players.
- Voke’s Advice: The A+ Grind is for the loyal M Grind player who finds the standard sole a bit too “bouncy”. It sits lower at address and moves faster through the ground.
The V Grind
The V is a high-performance, mid-to-high bounce wedge. It features a high-bounce forward section for forgiveness and aggressive heel, toe, and trailing edge relief for shot-making.
- From the Tour Truck: This grind is built for players like Jackson Koivun who are "a little steeper in their deliveries." The forward bounce is essential in "softer conditions, or if they’re playing on courses with grainy turf."
- Voke’s Advice: The V Grind is the go-to if you tend to take deep divots or play on soft, lush courses. It provides maximum protection against "chunking" while still letting you hit soft, open-faced shots.
The 62M Grind
This takes Bob Vokey’s personal favorite versatile mid-bounce grind and bumps the loft to 62 degrees. It is built for shorter distances and high-launching shots around the green.
- From the Tour Truck: The M Grind is "exceptionally versatile" across various conditions. The 62-degree version is specifically for players looking to "elevate and stop the golf ball quickly from shorter distances."
- Voke’s Advice: The 62M Grind is for the shot-maker who needs that extra bit of loft to clear obstacles and stop the ball instantly when they have very little green to work with.
