Vokey WedgeWorks releases 60 V Grind with Pro Channel
If you’re a regular viewer of our weekly photos from the professional tours, you might have noticed Robert Streb’s unique Vokey lob wedge. You may have even wished that you could try the unique grind.
Well, now you can.
Streb used this Island Green-inspired wedge the week of The Players Championship.
Vokey WedgeWorks has released limited-quantities of the wedge inspired by the company’s work with Robert Streb and other players, officially called the V Grind with Pro Channel.
A wedge with a V Grind, which is a custom grind available through Vokey Hand Ground — has a narrow, high-bounce section on the front of the sole to resist digging. What’s unique about this wedge is the combination of the V Grind with a Pro Channel, a groove cut into the back of the sole that effectively narrows the bounce area and allows the leading edge to sit flatter to the ground when the wedge is opened for greater versatility around the greens.
The WedgeWorks exclusive sells for $275 and comes with a raw finish. As always with WedgeWorks, golfers can personalize the 60V with Pro Channel in a variety of ways.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Just google Ram Troon Grind and you will see this Vokey copy. I had one in my bag 20+ years ago. I really liked it as I could lay it almost perfectly flat. It was great for hitting extra high shots off tight lies to close pins. But in reality why carry a club for a shot you might use once every couple of rounds.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
But if I can get someone to pay $275 than thats on them not me.

$275 for a harsh feeling, paying for a name wedge? But it is inspired by Robert Streb that has to add nothing. What a joke vokey and cameron are becoming.

They only feel harsh when you don’t them in the center…but yes, $275 is a ghastly price to pay for a wedge…errr…grind…especially when you consider that their hybrids cost the same.
