![]() ![]() They feature loft-specific “Quad Cut Milled Grooves” in Boron infused steel for longer usage life. ![]() We feel Mizuno’s T22 wedges are more suited to a low handicap player’s eye due to their C and X grinds, the wedge’s thinner top line than previous models, and their tightened “modified teardrop” head shape design. Besides having an eye-catching look, Mizuno says the Aged Copper finish “will give you the softest feel you’ve ever experienced in your short game.” They believe in the Copper material so strongly that they actually have it underneath the Satin Chrome finish as well. The T22’s are offered in a “Satin Chrome,” a “Raw” finish that will naturally rust and age to reduce reflection, and a new “Aged Copper” finish with some added technology to boot. Lastly, the “X grind” provides extreme relief from the heel, toe, and trailing edge and is meant for “short game artists.” The “C grind” is more aggressive across the heel, toe, and trailing edge and is meant for the players that like manipulating the heel and toe for shots around the greens. The “D grind” provides trailing edge relief and subtle relief on the heel and toe for slight manipulation on wedge shots. The “S grind” is the most “full soled wedge” and is generally reserved for a pitching wedge/gap wedge and more full-swing style shots. Mizuno believes shaving down the trailing edge lets the bounce angle work most effectively while providing relief to the leading edge. Each grind shares the fact that its trailing edges are shaved off. There are four unique grinds within the T22 series. “Mizuno” has longtime been the forged-iron company, so it should come as no surprise the same company is making some incredible forged wedges in their T22 wedge line. We hope you’ll see why Vokey has such a coveted and respected name in the golf equipment world and give their Vokey SM9 sand wedges a try in 2023. The stock steel shaft is a “True Temper Dynamic Gold,” and the four unique finish options include – Tour Chrome, Brushed Steel, Jet Black, and a Raw that will rust. In addition, a heat treatment is applied to the impact area, creating what Titleist claims is “the most durable groove in golf.” “Micro-grooves” are cut between the grooves to create maximum spin control on partial shots. The SM9’s Spin Milled grooves start with a new cutting process that increases spin and durability. The SM9 wedge line features a progressive center of gravity throughout the lofts, but the technical “sand wedges” (54°/56°) have a mid-center of gravity (CG) that promotes exceptional sand wedge launch conditions. Lastly, the “D grind” is the “big brother” to the “M grind,” with more bounce for aiding steeper swings. ![]() The “S grind” is for shallower swings and is similar to the “F grind,” but with trailing edge relief more suited for firmer conditions and aiding a higher trajectory. The “M grind” is the most versatile grind Vokey offers and includes heel, toe, and trailing edge relief for enhanced playability. These grinds are the “F grind,” the “M grind,” the “S grind,” and the “D grind.” The “F grind” is the most frequently used grind on the PGA Tour and is an all-purpose grind suited for full swing shots. “For every shot, every lie, every course, there’s a grind fit for your swing.” Vokey offers four unique sole grind options for their SM9 sand wedges that have a corresponding bounce angle degree that works together for the greatest results. Vokey’s dedication to creating wedges for every type of player is extremely prevalent in their new Vokey SM9 line. “Vokey” has become a name synonymous with some of the best sand wedges on the market, and since their initial launch 25 years ago, they have continued to refine their product with each new Spin Milled (“SM”) line of wedges they produce. One year later, “Titleist Vokey Wedges” debuted in the hands of PGA Tour players and quickly became and have since remained the most commonly used wedges on Tour. Flashback to 1996, Titleist decides to hire Master Craftsman Bob Vokey to reinvigorate their wedge department. ![]()
