The wedges are crafted from 1025 Boron Steel, a new material to Mizuno, and the addition of the Boron increases the resistance to wear and dulling on these wedges.
The “modified teardrop” head shape is designed to be slightly smaller for a more “tour designed” look. The “X grind” offers extreme heel and toe relief and is manufactured for even better players or “short game artists,” as Mizuno refers to them. Unlike their Vokey counterpart, Mizuno takes a lighter approach to fitting a 60 degree wedge into your bag by only offering two grinds, a “C grind” and an “X grind.” The “C grind” provides a lot of heel and toe relief and is said to be manufactured for skilled players and firmer conditions.
Mizuno as a manufacturer is more famed for their incredibly crafted forged irons than any other aspect of their company, but their T22 golf wedges may be here to change that line of thinking. With their mission being to create a versatile lob wedge, we hope to see it in your bag soon. Through the extensive work Vokey has done with their SM9 line, we hope you can agree they craft the one of, if not the best 60 degree wedge on the golf gear market today. The grooves on the higher lofted SM9 wedges are cut broader and shallower based on the needs of a lob wedge, and a heat treatment is added to the impact area, increasing the club’s resistance to wear. Vokey shows its dedication to innovative technology by moving the club’s CG even more forward than previous designs for a more controlled ball flight, distance control, and repeatability of a strike. These decisions include choosing from the three finish options of “Brushed Steel,” “Tour Chrome,” and “Jet Black,” as well as choosing between a “True Temper Dynamic Gold S200” shaft or stock graphite shaft. And lastly, the “K grind” is the highest bounce wedge offered by Vokey, and they say it is the “ultimate bunker club” due to just how forgiving the grind is.Īfter choosing between the 5 grind options, there are some much easier decisions to make. The “D grind” 60 degree is designed for players who have a steep angle of attack and tend to take larger divots. The “S grind” 60 degree is designed for players that enjoy hitting (s)imple shots with a (s)quare clubface. The “L grind” 60 degree is the lowest bounce option of them all, and Vokey says this club is “perfect for firm conditions and designed for precise players who have complete control at impact.” The “M grind” 60 degree is a “multi-purpose” grind designed for players that like to manipulate the face to manufacture shots and tend to have a shallower swing.
For starters, there are 5 different sole grind options: L grind, M grind, S grind, D grind, and K grind. When choosing a lob wedge from Vokey, you’re met with some big decisions.
60 DEGREE WEDGE UPDATE
Launching the original “SM” (Spin-Milled) line of golf wedges in 2008, Vokey has continued to perfect and redefine the wedge line with every update leading to the current SM9 line. “Vokey” is a manufacturer name that is synonymous with top-tier craftsmanship, technology, and overall product quality in the golf wedge space.
