The Titleist Vokey SM6 Wedge Grinds.

One of the fantastic features, that has been incorporated into the SM6 Vokey wedges, is the new wedge grinds that have been designed, offering the perfect combination in loft, bounce and grind for every golfer.

5 new grinds have been created in L,S,K,M,F but what do these grinds really mean and how do I know which one is best suited for me?

Let us explain to you the 5 grind options that Titleist have created.

The L Grind has been designed for a shallow, sweeping style of golf swing, best used in firm conditions and the perfect combination in loft for a 58 or 60 degree wedge with 4 degree’s of bounce, for those high lofted flop shots or getting yourself out of a green side bunker.

In the M Grind this is also very similar, Neutral to shallow, sweeping swing, but for firm to medium course conditions and a wider range of loft combinations to suit, running from 54 – 62 with 8 degree of bounce. Preferred for pitching in and around the green.

The S Grind has been shaped for a Neutral to Steep swing style for those of you who dig into the ground more. Best suited for medium to soft course conditions and the perfect loft combination ranges from 54 – 60 with 10 degree’s in bounce.

F Grind is probably the one grind that has the most versatility in the collection, designed as an all rounder to suit most swing types and styles. The F grind is perfectly matched to a wider array of lofts and bounce, that ranges from 46 – 56 degree. You could use this grind in all aspects of your short game.

The K Grind has been designed for a steep swing, but with high loft and bounce. The perfect combination is 58 – 60 degree’s. You would expect to use this again for higher flighted shots around the green and out of bunkers.

I hope this article helps you, to choose the right grind and loft to get the perfect combination, that’s matched to your swing style when choosing your new Titleist Vokey SM6 wedges. Full custom options are available to order.
