It’s early April, which explains why there’s an abundance of limited edition golf gear to celebrate the season’s first major. What differentiates this offering from most everything else is that, while the other stuff is designed to celebrate Augusta National, the Vokey WedgeWorks Limited Editon 64W is designed to help golfers play Augusta National.
A WedgeWorks Tradition
If you’ve kept up with WedgeWorks over the years, you know that the launch of a high loft, low bounce wedge is standard WedgeWorks practice ahead of the Masters. That said, it’s not every year we’re treated to this combination of high loft and low bounce.
The WedgeWorks 64W is roughly 6 degrees stronger than your average kitchen spatula with the same stated bounce as a T Grind.
If nothing else, it sounds like it could be a hell of a lot of fun.
About the Vokey WedgeWorks 64W
Even those of you well-versed in Vokey grinds may not be familiar with the W Grind given that it’s not in the retail lineup.

It’s next to impossible to identify the current top-selling direct-to-consumer golf ball brand but I don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest it was Snell Golf that was first to effectively reach the masses with the message that golfers don’t need to pay big OEM prices for quality performance golf balls.
Spoiler alert: That’s still true with the new Snell MTB Prime and MTB Prime X golf balls. We’ll get to those in a minute but feel free to skip ahead if you’re not interested in how we got here.
Kicking in the door for DTC ball brands
Dean Snell’s pedigree as a co-inventor of the Pro V1 and numerous TaylorMade golf ball technologies brought credibility that others in the DTC space lacked–and the market was ready.
Timing, as they say, is everything. “We stepped into it at a decent time and created a niche,” says Snell.
Whether Snell is the largest DTC brand, I can’t say. That it’s beloved by many golfers for its quality products and sensible prices is inarguable.
