I am testing a T-grind bent weak. I don't expect it to be a perfect replacement, but worth a shot. There really aren't any great, comparable options. I even went so far as to ask Ben Giunta and he said there really aren't any great options for custom grinds unless you went to Artisan golf. 

 

I might give the callaway x grind a shot. I know it's not the same thing, but I'm intrigued by it, and all my wedges right now are the same grind and similar bounce. Want to give myself some options

The 58* tour chrome is sold out I believe

I game the HT tour grind and you’ll love it. While I’ve never gamed or tried the V grind I’ve played around with the T grind multiple times. 
 

While the HT tour leading edge sits pretty flush to the ground when open the T almost seems to sit even lower with the crescent camber leading edge. So if the V grind is supposed to be a poor man’s T grind of some sorts then the HT tour is a very comparable options and not being a ridiculous $300 wedge

Relative at TM so I get a discount too. Might have to jump

Is this pretty much the same concept as what Cleveland/Srixon is doing?

 Do you mean that this is similar to Cleveland's v-sole that's standard in the wedges, or the LOW+ bounce option that comes in 54 and 56?

Vokey failing hard on the release with this one. This should just be in the line up, permanently.

I'm a longtime v-grind user and I hate the idea of switching. 

One per account (for clubs), no lefties? Stupid Titleist. 

 

I agree. Following in the Scotty footsteps on this one. I absolutely love my v grind and wanted one to put away for later. Expected some lefty love after offering it last time.

I was talking about the V-Sole.  I was wondering if it was the same, or if there are other concepts to the wedge that are different pretty much.  I play Srixon and Vokeys, and have liked the CBX 2 wedge.  I was genuinely curious.

I don't believe the V-sole has the heel/toe relief like the V grind.

No lefty so stuck with an M-grind, but I am not sure there is that much difference between the two. A bit more shaved off but the M is quite versatile without being overkill like the T/L. 

[robbie91]

Seems like it would be an ideal 56* wedge. Strange they aren't offering that loft.

Only hang up is that I prefer a slightly heavier shaft in my lob and no customization on the HT Tour.

Yeah that was my only gripe about it but I still have my old wedge with the shaft I need and just did a quick swap. I did it myself and fairly quick but still annoyed about it lol.

I have both of the previous V grind's. 

 

Just one man's opinion but I think you are correct, M grind works as a substitute.  I am playing an M grind bent to 58/10 right now instead of the V's.  

 

The V grind opens up better than the M for true flop shots, but the M is better off tight lies.  Both are fairly versatile.

 

FWIW I like the original V grind from '06 (or whatever year it was) better than the updated one from 2015/16.

I have a friend with a grinding wheel, and I have taken my M grinds and given them some heel relief to allow the leading edge to sit lower to the ground when opened up (more like the T, but not that low). I am getting a V to see if it is essentially the same without having to grind it myself.

Oh no .. I just sent a note to my pro friend to order a 58 tour chrome. 

 

Well, it's not like I Need it. More wanting to see how this grind works over the M.

It’s going to be closer to a D grind with more removed from the heel, toe and trailing edge.  Taking more off of an M grind will get you closer to an L grind.

I was OCD and basically lived on the site and most likely was one the first to order lol. I haven’t received any notification or ship info outside of initial order confirmation.

I ordered thru my buddy, he is grinding the heel, toe and straightening the leading edge. I am excited to try it out.

And I think on the purchase page it said something like 3-4 weeks? I just ignored that lol.

Funny thing, after I posted the above I got email notification that my wedges shipped and will be here next Tuesday. I had lie/loft adjustments done, but no stamping. Not sure if that made a difference. 

[nova6868]

I was all ready to get one of these, had it in the cart. Changed my mind when I saw the $30 shipping, with tax and everything was going to be nearly $300 for one wedge. I just can't do it. 

[ace036]

Apologies if this has already been asked, but does the V grind basically positioned in between the M grind and the D grind?

Sort of, it's like a more versatile D grind that can be opened up without the leading edge raising much.

[Cactus Jack]

I’ve read a few comments saying the V grind might compare to the TW and MG3 High Toe wedge grinds. Has anyone compared them? 

[scotty_2987]

Received mine today. 

[JDIL]

Can't tell but does that sole look wider than previous V Grinds?

I’ll add a few comparison pics of what I have. First picture is next to a 56 degree v grind from about 6 years ago. Second picture is next to a 60 degree t grind. The 60 v grind may be a hair wider than the 56 degree v. The width looks almost exactly the same as the 60 t grind.

Turns out they only shipped the SM9 54 but not the V. *sigh*
