Titleist Vokey SM8 Slate Blue Golf Wedge

The ground-breaking Progressive Centre of Gravity (CG) design concept that originated with Vokey Design SM6, and that was refined with SM7, has experienced one giant shift forward in the new SM8. By moving the CG forward, to a position that hovers in front of the wedge face, Vokey and his R&D team have produced a wedge that wants to square every time. The result is improved distance and trajectory control, better feel and increased stability for more consistent results.

SM8 features a reimagined progressive centre of gravity, which produces the most accurate and forgiving Vokey wedge yet. Using tungsten weights and varied hosel lengths, the Vokey R&D team has moved the CG outside of the wedge head and placed it in front of the face, resulting in increased MOI and exceptional feel.

For the golfer, this means optimised ball flight and a clubface that simply wants to square up at impact. SM8 accomplishes all of this while preserving the classic Vokey head shape players demand.

SM8 wedge grooves are meticulously engineered through a proprietary Spin Milled process to maximise spin and durability. The process starts by cutting the face perfectly flat with a high-speed saw. Then every groove is individually cut based on the loft and finish; low lofts (46-54) are designed with narrower, deeper grooves, while higher lofts (56-62) have wider, shallower grooves.

Micro-grooves are individually cut in between grooves, which maximise spin on partial shots. Proprietary heat treatment is applied to the impact area which doubles the durability of the groove without impacting feel making it the most durable groove in golf. The process is only complete when every groove on every wedge head is 100% inspected for conformity to the rules of golf.

Refined Sole Grind Options: Developed through decades of work with the best shot makers in the game, Vokeys six Tour-proven sole grinds F, S, M, K, L and D allow golfers of all skill levels to be precisely fit for their swing type (steep, neutral, shallow), shot making style and course conditions (firm, neutral, soft). SM8 continues to feature the most complete line-up of grind, bounce and loft options, allowing for more creativity and consistency, and giving players of any level the ability to create multiple shots around the green.
