In my estimation, few things in life lead to more bad decisions than cheap tequila, blue-eyed brunettes, and 64-degree wedges.
That’s not to say those bad decisions aren’t without merit. Often they result in one hell of a good time.
The regret comes later.
All of that brings me to the last Vokey WedgeWorks release of 2025: the limited-edition Wedge Works 64 T Grind.
Oh. My. God. A 64-degree T Grind?
Does it come in Slate Blue like the last 64 T? We’ll get to that.
About the 64 T
The Vokey Wedge Works 64 T blends the highest loft Vokey offers with the lowest bounce, tightest ground-hugging grind in the Vokey lineup. While the Vokey wedge team has rolled out a number of low-bounce lob wedge options in recent years, the T Grind remains a popular choice on the PGA Tour among both Titleist staffers and others whose contracts allow for some flexibility.
Case in point: The 2024 Champion Golfer of the Year (which is just the more fun way of saying Open Championship winner) plays a T grind.
He’s hardly the only one.
A quick recap for those of you still unfamiliar with the T Grind: it blends minimal bounce (four degrees) with aggressive heel and trailing edge relief. The result is a wedge that sits tight to the ground in nearly every orientation. The Vokey T grind offers plenty of versatility around the green and from tight lies. The tradeoff is that it’s less tolerant of delivery errors and is more than happy to dig if you give it the opportunity.
It’s the reason why, as much as I love the T grind, it gets swapped for the higher-bounce V Grind when conditions get soft.
My point here is that with a T Grind, your margin for error is already reasonably narrow. Toss in 64 degrees of loft and you’re asking for trouble … good trouble, maybe. I mean, you can do a lot of damage with a 64 wedge (literally). The first time I carried one on the course, I bladed a 60-yard wedge shot into the parking lot. Pretty sure it left a mark.
That said, you can have a metric shit-ton of fun hitting an assortment of what, for most of us, are totally unnecessary flop shots.
Practical? Probably not.
A great option for everyday golfers? Also probably not. And, yet, I’m still going to say this is awesome, because, again, good trouble.
It’s fun.
Finish options
Over the last two years of SM10, Vokey has made a habit of limiting its Wedge Works offerings exclusively to raw finish—that is to say, without a finish. The exception, I suppose, was the Black Vapor line, which launched earlier this year. The 64 T is part of that Black Vapor line, which unfortunately means I didn’t just misspell Slate Blue (blue-eyed brunette). So close, Vokey. So f’n close.
What are we even doing here? Seriously. If you’re going to make anything in Slate Blue, a 64 T grind is absolutely that thing. This will be a major point of discussion (maybe the primary point of discussion) when we meet with the Vokey team next month.
For what it’s worth, the Black Vapor finish, which is technically a titanium carbide vapor finish, is not only durable, but also resistant to fingerprints, which probably matters to somebody. The only negative to Black Vapor is that it’s not Slate Blue.
Notably, perhaps, the 64 T grind features slightly different cosmetics than other Vokey Black Vapor wedges. I choose to believe that has something to do with the reality that we’re nearly two years into SM10 and SM11 is on the way.
Pricing and availability
The retail price for the limited-edition Vokey 64 T is $275. Yeah, that’s a lot for a wedge (especially one that isn’t Slate Blue) but Vokey generally upcharges for limited-edition and other Wedge Works releases, so it’s nothing out of the ordinary.
I will say the magnitude of the upcharge suggests SM11 is almost certain to come with a price increase. Recently released wedges from Titleist/Vokey competitors have landed at $200. There’s no part of me that believes Vokey is going to undercut the market. $200 is the starting point for wedges from the mainstream brands.
If you’re looking for a silver lining, it’s that the 64 T is unique (and kind of awesome) and that with SM11 in the pipeline, the SM10 lineup has been discounted to $160.
The Vokey Wedge Works 64 T Grind wedge is available now in right-hand only (and in Black Vapor only) through Vokey.com while supplies last.

Don’t know, I have a PING 64 degree which is magic to get out of bunkers or if I need high/short flot shops. I don’t keep it in my bag year round, I also have a 56 and a 60 that alternate, but the 64 I do like. I play one course that has A LOT of bunkers, including very large “waste” bunkers and depending on the lie/conditions I will use that. It also has some green side bunkers with fairly steep walls (3-5 feet). I can use the 60 there but the 64 is that much better. It is a highly specialized club I would agree but for certain niches it is perfect.
