Seems like when I when I want to look something up on the internet for some reason, all the result I get are for someone trying to sell me what I'm asking about!  I found an old Hogn  Special 51 "K" grind is my garage, and can't find any information about the "K" grind, and why it's called that.  Cany anyone help?  Thanx in advance!  Fairways and Greens!

Can you post a picture? It probably refers to the sole of the club.

If I recall correctly, the "K" in K-grind stands for Kite (as in Tom Kite). They came in 51*, 56* and 62* lofts and were commercial versions of what Kite was using at the time.

      Day 162 - More pitching work, really focusing on letting the club fall and turning my body.

      U.S. Open Qualifying - How Would Your Course Hold up?

      By pganapathy ·

      Our home course would be very interesting.  It is short from the black tees (around 6000 yards) and very few holes are considered not reachable in GIR for golfers who drive max 250 off the tee.  But there are two difficulties.  Only 3 holes don't have an OB though admittedly in some cases it is just behind the green.  The harder part is almost all the fairways slope away on both sides from the centre meaning if you hit a draw or fade, you are likely to wind up at the edge of the fairway or off into the rough if you bounce in the wrong place.

      I assume the 3 iron in your iron set would do the job.  If you don't have the club, you should be able to buy it as a single club

      Day 45 (16 Jun 24) -  Happy Father's Day all - got in a few swings with the clubs, focused on alignment for chipping and pitching.  For me if the target it 12noon, I need to have my feet somewhere around 11 for a solid dead on line pitch/chip.  Worked from about 5yds out to 25yds.  Worked through a series of clubs - 54, PW, 8i and 6i - noting flight patterns of each.

      day 94. Realized I’m getting a little too handsy. Worked on getting the club into good places and much shorter, slower swings to learn the movement.
