    Is the f grind 54 the closest set up to fall into the progression from my ap2 50 wedge? How would a f grind perform out of the sand?

    Yes that would be a good choice! I have a set of 716 AP2's and my wedges are SM6 50, 54 & 60. The 54 is great in the sand and is a very versatile club for me. I use it for a variety of shots in the sand, from the fairway and around the green. Nothing compares to a Vokey!!!

    Thanks for the reply. Is your 54 an F grind?

    Yes f grind. It's my favorite club to practice with so I have 2 SM6 54's. One for practice and the range and one just for the course.

    are you a "digger" or Sweeper type? that extra bounce on the F is a lot more bounce than what the ap2 50 has, kinda makes me nervous. I sweep and pick

    Should be great for heavier sand. I have a 55.09 that I use in heavier sand.
  7. I find the higher bounce and full sole of the f to be best for sand. Helps keep the club from digging too much and shallow in the sand to allow you to splash the sand instead of shoveling it and leaving the ball in the bunker.

    Anybody go from a low bounce lob to a k grind lob? Seems like all the fitting vids and write ups show people having some awakenings to more grind? I play a low bounce 60 now but am open to trying something if it gets them closer and more consistently..

    Yes. I went from a 60.07 to an SM6 58.12 K grind. Best wedge move I have ever made. LOVE that 58K! Really much more versatile than the 60.07. Fantastic out of bunkers, great lob wedge and no problem flopping. It is my most favorite wedge I have ever owned and I feel like I have had dozens of Vokeys over the years.

    Very interesting doug e. I have heard alot of people say what you said..how does it do on more fuller and 1/2 to 3/4 swings from firm ground? Also i do not have a lot of bunkers on my home course.. so is the bunker play what makes it so great? Meaning if u took all the bunkers off your course would you still want the k ?

    Does anyone have any insight to my last question?
    I have heard alot of people say such great things about the K grind lob wedge..how does it do on more fuller and 1/2 to 3/4 swings from firm ground?
