Wedges are your scoring clubs. It is important to pair the ideal wedge setup with the right grind for the right course condition.
GRINDS 101
Most people don't need fancy looking grinds (it's very easy to make an aesthetically pleasing, jaw dropping grind but not many will perform the way they should). A player needs to be careful about getting the right bounce and then determine the shape of grind from his or her style of play. Basically, we need to understand a player's wedge game and style as well as conditions of the course.
Leading Edge
With a sharp leading edge, you better be a damn good striker, especially with a low bounce! A beveled leading edge can also create a straighter leading edge look at address position by shaping it to a smaller crescent at certain angles a la Mizuno JPX 900 Pro series.
Camber
How much curve a player needs is based on his or her attack angle as well as course conditions.
Roll
The roll can be curved or flat. The flatter the roll, the ball will fly higher on full shots, of course this will depend on bounce angle too. The P grind has two bounce angles. A player can pinch the ball for pitch or chip shots with a lower flight (low spinner type shots), but the second bounce will be crazy effective for full shots. A player will pop the ball up with lots of spin, but will have more difficulty with distance control. This requires practice to build some confidence!
Heel and Toe Relief
This depends on a player's skill level in terms of style and creativity of their wedge play. A player will need this if he or she manipulates the face angle to create shots and distance control.
Trailing Edge Cut
Most skilled players who like to control the trajectory for better distance control will prefer a more aggressive trailing edge cut. Narrower sole will give a better trajectory control.
CUSTOM GRINDS JK WEDGES:
Here are my JK wedge's info:
Why Custom Grind Wedge from a raw heavy heads are the best? We can pin point any grind shape, bounce angle, head shape and final build specs with minimal adjustment at worst. Using a retail head aren't ideal because it'll loose too much weight and almost impossible to pin point the final specs, which will throw off the balance point or end up using an ugly lead tape that can be quite thick. ie: My LW head weight start approximately from 320gr and most will end up 307-309gr for 35 inch build.
Note: Bare in mind, everything have limitation on case by case basis. Some will have some extra charges due to extra work on it. "Ei: pre worn grind and porting."
Price start at $450/wedge includes American brands steel shaft and grip. All extra work will be assess and price accordingly.
*Tour players support are base on status and case by case with my personal judgement. Remember I'm just a small guy who enjoy making you guys play better and mutual support always help each others. Email me your profile to jwk.golf@gmail.com and tell me what you're looking for working with me. Trust is a must on this relationship. For you already worked with me understand this issue.
*Limited quantity available on the non confirming heads. You are on your own responsibility to use these for sanction tournaments. The different are only on the surface milled spacing and depth (1000 microns VS 1500 microns).
