Miura K Grind Wedge

Miura Golf's K Grind wedge certainly has a distinctive look. The sole is fluted or notched; it might appear to some as a wave-like design, or as finger slots or hill-and-dale.

But what are those areas of sole relief actually supposed to accomplish? According to Miura Golf, the K Grind sole helps the wedge move through rough or sand more efficiently, particularly in wet conditions; and can help a golfer avoid catching it fat on long bunker shots; and avoid deceleration on quarter- and half-shots around the green.

The Miura K Grind wedge is available in 56-degree loft only at the time of its debut. The MSRP is $250. More info: miuragolf.com
