The Titleist Vokey SM9 Wedges are the latest innovation from wedge legend Bob Vokey. These wedges are the most versatile, accurate, and forgiving wedges ever created, with a total of 23 different models and 6 different grinds to suit every player’s needs.
One of the biggest changes in the SM9 is the addition of weight to the back toe, which raises the club’s overall center of gravity (CG). This weight distribution helps to produce shots with a lower trajectory and greater spin, giving players more control. The groove cutting process has also been overhauled to tighten the spin tolerance, ensuring sharper grooves and higher overall spin rates.
The seven tour-proven sole grinds – F, S, M, K, L, D, and T – allow for more creativity and consistency, giving players of any level the ability to create multiple shots into and around the green. These grinds allow all golfers to be precisely fit for their swing type, shot-making style, and course conditions.
The Titleist Vokey SM9 Wedges are available in brushed steel, chrome, jet black, and raw, and come with a True Temper Dynamic Golf S200 shaft and a Tour Velvet 360 White grip. They can also be customized with six unique toe engravings, a variety of stamping options, and custom paint fills on the loft, bounce, grind, and Vokey wings markings.
The new Spin Milled cutting process tightens allowable tolerances and produces consistently sharper grooves for higher, more consistent spin. Micro-grooves are individually cut in between grooves to maximize spin on partial shots, while a proprietary heat treatment is applied to the impact area to create uber-durable grooves without impacting feel.
Bob Vokey’s years of research and experience have helped him determine that the optimum wedge strike position is between grooves two and five, which produces a lower, more consistent flight with higher spin. Shots struck above launch higher and fly shorter with less spin. The SM9 further improves upon the groundbreaking Progressive Center of Gravity (CG) design concept originally introduced with the Vokey Design SM8 in 2020.
The Titleist Vokey SM9 Wedges have been praised for their soft feel and ability to spin the ball. Jordan Spieth, a notoriously fickle pro, has already added the SM9 to his bag. One member of GOLF’s ClubTest raved that “It feels better than any Vokey I’ve tried in years.”
In conclusion, the Titleist Vokey SM9 Wedges are the ultimate in short game performance. Their versatility, accuracy, and forgiveness make them a must-have for any golfer looking to improve their game. With 23 different models and 6 different grinds to choose from, every golfer can find the right tool for their short game.
In short, at least you can find these clubs from the writer’s own bag!
