Vokey WedgeWorks has today introduced its new lineup of lob wedges.

In addition to Vokey SM11’s six in-line grinds and industry-leading number of loft, bounce and grind configurations (27), golfers now have access to five additional lob wedge grinds: L, A, K*, A+ and V. The 62M joins WedgeWorks as well for players seeking more loft.

Each new WedgeWorks lob wedge is offered in the tour-favorite Raw finish. WedgeWorks SureFit fitting heads are also available at select Titleist fitting locations, allowing more golfers to test the full array of Vokey sole grinds.

“Having more grind options just gives us more tools to work with, whether it’s with tour players or dedicated amateurs. When a player gets their hands on the right grind, everything seems to click into place. The WedgeWorks lineup gives us the chance to find that optimal fit across even more playing styles and delivery patterns.” – Vokey Tour Rep Aaron Dill

L Grind

The L is a narrow-soled, low-bounce grind with heel, toe and trailing edge relief. Its sole width fits between the slightly narrower T Grind and the slightly wider M Grind. It is well-suited for golfers playing off firm to neutral turf conditions.

Available lofts: 58 and 60 degrees

Effective bounce: Low/4 degrees

A Grind

The A Grind originated from conversations between Aaron Dill and Geoff Ogilvy, who was looking for a wedge that would perform well on the firm conditions commonly found in Australia. Dill approached Ogilvy’s request by modifying his L Grind, smoothing out the ribbon, or grind lines, to create the A Grind. This resulted in a sole that moves through the turf with very little resistance, ideal for the player looking to slide the wedge under the ball in firm, tight conditions.

Available lofts: 58 and 60 degrees

Effective bounce: Low/4 degrees

K* Grind

One of the most popular lob wedge grinds on the PGA Tour, the K* features a low-bounce sole that originates from the .06K Grind. Instead of the full, smooth sole of the K, the K* features a steeper pre-wear on the leading edge as well as heel, toe and trailing edge relief.

Available lofts: 58 and 60 degrees

Effective bounce: Low/6 degrees

A+ Grind

The A+ Grind is a mid-bounce wedge that originated from removing the grind lines from an M Grind — the same modification that turns an L Grind into an A. Because of this, the A+ moves faster through the turf than its related M Grind, but it features more bounce and a wider sole than the A. This helps the A+ Grind excel in firm to neutral conditions.

Available lofts: 58 and 60 degrees

Effective bounce: Mid/8 degrees

V Grind

The V Grind is a mid-to-high-bounce wedge that features a forward section of increased bounce for forgiveness on square-faced shots along with heel, toe and trailing edge relief for enhanced versatility on open-faced shots. It excels in neutral to soft conditions.

Available lofts: 58 and 60 degrees

Effective bounce: Mid–high/10 degrees

62M Grind

The M Grind, available in 58 and 60 degrees in the SM11 lineup, is Bob Vokey’s favorite grind. It is a mid-bounce grind that is exceptionally versatile, with a sole shape that excels across a variety of conditions and promotes shot-making around the greens.

Available lofts: 62 degrees

Effective bounce: Mid/8 degrees

All six tour-proven offerings are available now on Vokey.com and are priced at $229 each.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. 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.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
