Asking Titleist’s wedge guru, Bob Vokey, which of the numerous wedge designs that bare his name is his favorite is like asking parents which of their children they love the most, but pushed a little, the man they call “Voke” confesses that the M Grind probably tops his list.
“M stands for most favorite,” he confessed to Golfweek a few years ago.
The Vokey Design M Grind wedge has historically been available in 56, 58, 60 and 62-degree versions, but now Titleist is making a limited-edition 54-degree M Grind wedge available through its WedgeWorks program. WedgeWorks is the boutique division of the Vokey wedge business that allows golfers to customize their clubs, get unique grinds and buy Vokey-branded merchandise.
“The M grind is a medium bounce wedge that features a heel, toe and trailing edge sole grind,” Vokey said. “It is for players who want a sand wedge to play in medium to firm soil conditions or firmer bunkers. It is also ideal for the golfer with a shallower, neutral, or more sweeping delivery who likes to play shots around the greens with the face in a variety of orientations or positions.”
The limited-edition WedgeWorks 54-degree M Grind wedge will only be available in a right-hand version with a raw steel finish that will gradually rust over time with exposure to air and water. It will come standard with a True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 shaft and a Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 grip for $225. Through the WedgeWorks program, custom stamping and paintfill options are available
