Just had my first wedge fitting and it was with James also. The experience was fantastic and the wedges were better than I expected. Going back to Vokeys after a long time with Ping.
For years I have had 50°, 54°, and 58° Vokeys. I added a 46° as my PW to go with the 718 AP2 Irons I was Special Ordering from a Fall 2017 Fitting. The SM6 46° and 50° were both 08° F and shafted to match the 718 AP2 Irons. (Irons, 46 & 50, Flattened 01°) The 54° is the 10° V Grind. The 58° is the 06° K Grind (Low Bounce K Grind). Both Vokey Wedgeworks. These two are 02° Flattened and the shafts are Project X LZ 5.0 vs the 5.5 in the 718 AP2s and the SM6 46 & 50 wedges. This may be the first "Vokey Fitting" Video that showed more than One Lie / Shot that I have seen. Your first shot - I play my 58-06° K, the second shot, I would consider my 54-10° V, and for THAT Bunker Shot back to the 58. I use the 54 for deeper and "softer" sand. Thanks, Michael.
I love just listening to these types of tests. Just scroll down to the comments and listen to it. Sound on the strike is SO telling as to whether or not your getting along with a particular grind/bounce or not
Great video ! I’m a generally a digger and the local course i play is fairly soft....I used the Vokey wedge grind tester from the Vokey website and chose my 3 SM7 wedges accordingly: 50 Deg. “F” Grind, 12 Deg bounce; 54 deg. “F”Grind 14 deg bounce; 58 Deg “D” Grind 12 Deg bounce. I rarely use my 58 Deg. On full shots, mostly close pitch and chips shots and Occasionally out of a green side bunker if very close. There are all 35 inches long.
I just went to a Titleist facility for a wedge fitting. Surprisingly on well struck shots with a 54 I had 7 yards gap between two grinds. Made it an easy decision to choose which one filled the gap better.
Depends on how you play. I played the M grind for years over the S because I couldn’t open up easily with S. Played S in sand wedge though. Now using PM Grind 19 and not sure if I like them better than Vokey or not.
Most likely because he doesn't Open his Wedge during Setup and Gripping, and the M Grind is for these Players. S is "Stricker", and also "Square", so for Players who adjust Ball Position and Shaft Lean to "Add (or Reduce) Loft".
Interesting video. I’m seriously considering treating myself to new wedges first time in 5 years or even longer. 52,56 and 60 Vokey SM8 not sure on bounce I was going to choose 8 on all 3. Just to be on safe side my home course bunkers are wet and hard most of the time so high bounce is no good? Will I be able to try them out though in bunkers .
Michael, thanks for the video! However, please give your guest a mic or stop interrupting him as he speaks. I know that you are trying to implement active listening but it was really frustrating to make out what your guest was saying.
Funny thing is lies will be different around the same green, conditions change with rain or if the grass hasn’t been mown that day, sounds all a bit overdone and over complicated designed to sell more clubs imo

Excellent! Thanks for showing the process of picking wedges. Good things to consider.
Nice to see a titleist wedge fitting where the customer can actually chip the ball properly.

Great stuff as usual Michael. I use SM7 56 08 M grind and SM7 60 04 L grind. I've always performed better with low bounce wedges for some reason.

“Bunker play is a strength of mine” says MNG. I wish I could say the same thing 😂
Depends on how you play. I played the M grind for years over the S because I couldn’t open up easily with S. Played S in sand wedge though. Now using PM Grind 19 and not sure if I like them better than Vokey or not.
S stands for Square, also Stricker.
Intended for the Player who Doesn't set the Face Open or Closed.
On the LW why didn't you try the 8deg M grind as it sits inbetween the 4deg and 10deg ??
Most likely because he doesn't Open his Wedge during Setup and Gripping, and the M Grind is for these Players.
S is "Stricker", and also "Square", so for Players who adjust Ball Position and Shaft Lean to "Add (or Reduce) Loft".

Yea really nice mate. Great job
SM7 52/12 F (51/11), SM4 56/14, SM6 58/8 M (59/9), and an old 254-10 (55/11) I put in play when it's thin and tight. Like them Raw.
Great video
Whoever that rep is doing the fitting ... he always does a good job
Knowledgeable guy
Michael, I play my chips exactly how you do in regards to turf interaction. What did you end up liking the best? Grind and bounce?

looks like ya got junior clubs.
