I wonder how much of this is new grind push vs based on feedback. Going to change some variables next time around to see if it changes. The concept is the d grind had my interest when it was announced. The D grind is legit. I was hesitant to make the switch from a low bounce lob wedge like the M grind but the D grind is so good around the greens from rough and bunkers and still playable off fairways RickyBobby_PR, GolfSpy BOS and cnosil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hesitant to make the switch from a low bounce lob wedge like the M grind but the D grind is so good around the greens from rough and bunkers and still playable off fairways I’m really looking forward to that. My SM5 was the S grind with 7* of bounce and I found myself opening the face just to expose some more bounce. My miss with that was to dig half way to china, especially if the course was damp. I can’t wait to get out there with the D grind.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk cnosil and M.

SammyGerv Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I'm looking to replace my 56-degree Vokey Design Spin Milled wedge with 11 degree bounce. Found here for reference https://www.titleist.com/golf-clubs/wedges/vokey-spin-milled. I currently use it for full and 3/4 shots from 75 yards and in as well as around the green and out of bunkers given I don't have a higher lofted wedge. Any ideas as to which bounce & grind combo in the 56-degree SM8 would be most similar to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slater Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 These have been so solid for me. I have the 48F, 54S, and 60D. I didn't think I'd see a difference between these and my SM6s, but the SM8s are much more solid and forgiving. These are weapons for sure.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 I put my 48F in play for the first time Friday and only had two shots with it. But both performed exactly as i hoped. A nice low, and spinning trajectory. One hop and a little rollout from about. 80 to 90 yards.

I rarely chunked one with it, and I still felt like I could open the face with it. It was a massive improvement for me over the S-grind I had in my older LW. What are you coming from and hoping to achieve with a new wedge?

What are you coming from and hoping to achieve with a new wedge? I’ve used 60 10S in sm7 I think it was the same in sm6. I have no issues with the S grind but decided to do the Vokey fit to see what it would show. It recommended 60D so before I decide if I stay with my current grind setup in sm8s or if I go with the vokey fit wanted to see what others thought and their experience were about the D Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscipleofPenick Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'm still on the SM6. That's the last version where Vokey offered my bounce/grind. Is the 58/4 L grind. I see they still make it in the 60 only, but I can still find the 6's new on ebay.Take Dead Aim Quote Take Dead Aim Driver: PXG 0211 10.5* Fairway: Titleist 917 F3 15* Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Boxer Gold 18* Irons: MacGregor MT-86 Pro Wedges: Vokey 50/54/58 Putter: SeeMore X2 Costa del Mar Ball: Srixon Z-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
