Vokey Grind Chart: Every SM11 Loft, Bounce & Grind

The quick answer: Vokey's current wedge is the SM11, in 9 lofts from 44° to 60° and 27 loft, bounce and grind combinations. There are six grinds: F (full sole, the only grind on the pitching and gap wedges), S, M, D, K and T. Bounce runs from 4° (T grind) to 14° (F grind). Vokey names each wedge by loft, bounce and grind: a 56.14 F is a 56° wedge with 14° of bounce and an F grind. The full chart is below, with what each grind is for in Vokey's own words.

Vokey SM11 Grind Chart

Every SM11 loft, and the bounce each grind comes in at that loft. A dash means Vokey doesn't make that grind in that loft.

The pitching and gap wedges (44°–48° and 50°–52°) come only in the F grind. The grind choice opens up at the sand wedge (four grinds) and the lob wedge (five grinds: S, M, D, K and T). The K comes in two bounces, 6° and 12°, in both lob wedge lofts.

What Each Vokey Grind Is For

F Grind: A Full Sole For Full Wedge Shots

In Vokey's words: “The F Grind is a full sole suited for full wedge shots. This traditional sole is built to provide forgiveness and confidence from the fairway and around the greens.”

S Grind: Narrow and Versatile

In Vokey's words: “The S Grind features a full sole that has been narrowed by a trailing edge grind, giving it a faster feel through the turf. This grind provides versatility in a variety of conditions for players who like to control loft with their hands ahead or behind the ball.”

M Grind: Multi-purpose Grind For Versatility

In Vokey's words: “The M Grind, Bob Vokey’s favorite, is designed for players who rotate the face to manufacture greenside shots. This grind provides the ideal balance for players seeking bounce and versatility into and around greens.”

D Grind: The Player's High Bounce Wedge

In Vokey's words: “The D Grind is built for players with steeper swings, seeking forgiveness and greenside versatility. A forward bounce angle protects players from softer, grainier conditions while opening the face lowers the leading edge for added greenside versatility and confidence.”

K Grind: Shaped For Forgiveness

In Vokey's words: “The K Grind provides a wide, full sole with enhanced camber to provide added forgiveness from the sand and variable turf conditions. The high-bounce 12 K grind reduces digging in soft bunkers and turf conditions while the low-bounce 06 K grind delivers forgiveness off tighter, firmer lies.”

T Grind: For Sharper Shotmaking

In Vokey's words: “The T Grind is perfect for players seeking low bounce for more greenside versatility. This grind hugs the ground with maximum heel, toe, and trailing edge relief—providing ultimate shotmaking ability for golfers who play in firm conditions.”

Vokey Bounce Chart: Low, Mid and High Bounce

In Vokey's words: “Wedge bounce is the angle between the leading edge and the sole that helps prevent the club from digging, allowing you to make cleaner contact around the green and hit the shots you want based on your swing type. Vokey wedge grinds work with bounce by shaping the sole to control how the club interacts with the turf and sand, giving you versatility to open or close the face for different short game shots.”

Vokey's advice for choosing bounce: “Each wedge in your bag has a job to do, so there is no one-size-fits-all bounce. If you are a steeper player that takes bigger divots, we recommend at least one high bounce wedge. If you are a shallow player that takes little to no divot, we recommend having at least one low bounce wedge. To get the best performance out of your wedge set, get properly fit for your swing type.”

Which Vokey Grind Fits You?

This table matches each grind to the swing and conditions Vokey describes it for. It's a starting point; Vokey's own advice is to get fit, because “there is not a one-size-fits-all wedge bounce. Every player is different and course conditions change. To get the best performance out of your wedge set, get properly fit for your swing type.”

Vokey SM11 Specs by Wedge

Pitching wedges (44°–48°)

Gap wedges (50°–52°)

Sand wedges (54°–56°)

In Vokey's words: “Vokey recommends 4° to 6° of loft separation between wedges. If your gap wedge is 50°, a 54° sand wedge creates the right spacing. If your gap wedge is 52°, go with 56°. The 56° is the most-played loft on tour.”

Lob wedges (58°–60°)

Vokey on the lob wedges: “CG is engineered to the same precise location across every grind within a loft, producing a consistent, controlled launch window so fitting comes down to grind selection alone.”

SM11 Stock Shafts, Grip and Finishes

The SM11 comes in four finishes: Tour Chrome, Nickel, Jet Black and Raw.

What About the Vokey SM10?

The SM11 replaced the SM10, and Vokey no longer publishes the SM10 spec table: its SM10 page now shows the SM11. If you play SM10 wedges, read the loft, bounce and grind on your own clubs, or have a club fitter measure them.

Frequently asked questions

What grinds does the Vokey SM11 come in?

Six: F, S, M, D, K and T. The F is the only grind on the 44°–48° pitching wedges and 50°–52° gap wedges; the sand wedges add S, M and D; and the lob wedges come in T, M, S, D and K.

What is the most popular Vokey sand wedge?

The 56.14 F: a 56° wedge with 14° of bounce and an F grind. Vokey calls it "the most popular sand wedge on tour," and says the 56° is the most-played loft on tour.

What is the Vokey M grind for?

In Vokey's words: "The M Grind, Bob Vokey’s favorite, is designed for players who rotate the face to manufacture greenside shots." On the SM11 it comes in 54.08 M, 56.08 M, 58.08 M and 60.08 M.

What is the difference between the Vokey S and M grind?

The S has a full sole narrowed by a trailing edge grind and suits players who "control loft with their hands ahead or behind the ball." The M is for players who "rotate the face" around the green. On the SM11 the S has 10° of bounce and the M has 8°.

What bounce should I get on my wedges?

Vokey's answer: Each wedge in your bag has a job to do, so there is no one-size-fits-all bounce. If you are a steeper player that takes bigger divots, we recommend at least one high bounce wedge. If you are a shallow player that takes little to no divot, we recommend having at least one low bounce wedge. To get the best performance out of your wedge set, get properly fit for your swing type.

Which Vokey wedge is best for high handicappers?

Vokey's answer: "Bounce provides forgiveness, which will benefit all golfers. The 56.14 F is the most popular sand wedge on tour and could be a great option but Voke recommends getting fit to ensure you have the proper bounce and grind for your swing type and course conditions."

Is low bounce or high bounce better?

Neither is better for everyone. Vokey's answer: "Low bounce wedges are great for firm conditions and players that take very little divot. A low bounce wedge will tend to dig or cut into the turf. High bounce wedges are great for softer conditions and players that take a bigger divot. A high bounce wedge will tend to glide through the turf and resist digging."
