Golfers have different swings and play in different conditions, so Titleist has created six unique sole configurations, or grinds, to help players find the ideal wedges to match how and where they play.
F Grind: Available in lofts from 46 degrees to 56 degrees, the F grind is a straight-sole option best suited for full-swing shots.
M Grind: Available in lofts from 56 to 62 degrees, the M grind has material removed in both the heel and toe areas, making it an ideal choice for players who rotate the club open and closed through their swing and who tend to hit shallow, sweeping shots.
S Grind: Available in lofts from 54 to 60 degrees, the S grind has a full sole with some material removed in the heel area. It has trailing-edge relief and is best suited for golfers who play in firm conditions and who like to hit the ball with a square face.
D Grind: Available in lofts from 54 to 60 degrees, the D grind has heel, toe and trailing-edge relief. It has a thinner sole with high bounce, making it a good option for players who like to manipulate the club and open the face to hit a variety of shots in soft conditions.
K Grind: Available in 58- and 60-degree versions, the K grind is the highest-bounce option in the SM9 lineup. It features the widest sole and significant camber, making it especially good in bunkers and thick rough.
L Grind: Available in a 60-degree version only, the L grind has heel, toe and trailing-edge relief with a narrow sole and the lowest bounce of any SM9 wedge. For skilled players in tight, firm conditions, it is designed to provide versatility.
