The superb craftsmanship, performance and technology of Vokey Design SM8 wedges – the overwhelmingly most played wedges on the PGA Tour – will now be available in a tour-inspired all-black configuration.
This limited release features SM8’s Jet Black raw finish enhanced with black paint fill in the logos and graphics, complemented by a Dynamic Gold S200 Black Onyx shaft and exclusive Golf Pride New Decade Multi Compound Black/Gray grip with BV Wings.
Cameron Smith, who won this year’s Sony Open playing all-black SM8s, is among a group of tour players who prefer the Jet Black finish. SM8 is also available in Tour Chrome, Brushed Steel and the tour-preferred Raw finish.
“I’ve been stocking more and more Jet Black heads on the Tour Van each year,” said Vokey tour representative Aaron Dill. “Players love the look of it, and the contrast you get when you add custom stamping and paint fill – it just pops. Jet Black also helps players reduce glare on those really bright days. When you add in the black shaft and grip, it’s a sharp set-up.”
Limited Jet Black SM8 wedges are available in golf shops beginning Friday, August 28, with all 23 loft, bounce and grind combinations (in both RH and LH) available through custom order or WedgeWorks onVokey.com.
SM8 TECHNOLOGY
Great wedge play comes from distance control, shot versatility and spin. SM8 improves performance in all three areas through the following key innovations:
• Reimagined Progressive CG is pushed forward from the face for increased MOI (up to a +7% increase in the higher lofts) – producing improved distance and trajectory control, better feel and a club face that simply wants to square up at impact for more consistent results. To achieve this, Vokey’s team lengthened the hosels and counterbalanced that weight with high-density tungsten low in the toe.
• Six Tour-Proven Sole Grinds – F, S, M, K, L and D, developed and refined through decades of work with the best shot-makers in the game, 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).
• 100% Inspected Spin Milled Grooves are cut with a level of precision that is unique by finish, producing maximum spin and shot control. Micro-grooves are individually cut in between grooves, which maximise spin on partial shots. A proprietary heat treatment is applied to the impact area to double the durability of the groove without impacting feel – making it the most durable groove in golf.
Titleist Vokey SM8 LE All Black Wedge
Inspired by Jet Black fans Cam Smith and Jimmy Walker, the all black returns for a limited time.
The shift that will reshape your wedge game. SM8 features a center of gravity that is pushed forward from the face, through the use of high density tungsten, producing a more consistent, pure strike that helps you hit your target more often.
SM8 takes the next innovative leap - pushing CG forward of the face in the high lofts. Maintaining the vertical, progressive center of gravity, while improving the CG depth (forward/back). This produces improved feel and stability, resulting in closer proximity to the hole.
To achieve the CG heights that produce exceptional ball flight, and push the CG forward of the face in the high lofts, Voke's team lengthened the hosel and counter balanced this weight with a tungsten weight low in the toe. The result is high, forward center of gravity and increased MOI. For golfers, this means improved feel, improved ball flight, and a club face that simply wants to square at impact for more consistent results.
Stock Shaft: Dynamic Gold S200 Black Onyx; Stock Grip: New Decade Multi Compound with BV Wings
- F Grind - is an all-purpose grind that is particularly suited for full shots and shots hit with a square face. Ideal for players who prefer a traditional wedge sole. The F grind is the most played sand wedge on Tour including Justin Thomas, Ian Poulter and Charlie Hoffman.
- M Grind - Voke’s favorite, is designed for players that like to rotate the club face open and closed to manufacture shots around the green. Ideal for players with a shallower, more sweeping swing type who play shots from a variety of clubface positions. Played by Charles Howell III, Patrick Cantlay and Cam Smith.
- S Grind - features a full sole that has been narrowed by a trailing edge grind, giving it a faster feel through the turf. This grind is best for neutral to firm conditions and for players that like to control loft with their hands ahead or behind the ball. Played by Jordan Spieth, Adam Scott and Lanto Griffin.
- D Grind - blends versatility from a heel, toe, and trailing edge grind and forgiveness with its high measured bounce. The D Grind is ideal for players with a steeper angle of attack who play shots from a variety of clubface positions.
- L Grind - lowest bounce option in the mix. The heel, toe, and trailing edge relief allow for maximum greenside versatility. This club is perfect for firm conditions and designed for precise players. It is ideal for players that have complete control of impact looking for maximum shot-making versatility. Played by Jordan Spieth, Jimmy Walker, and JT Poston.
- K Grind - highest bounce wedge in the lineup, and is the ultimate bunker club. The K Grind is a wide, full sole wedge with enhanced camber to make it forgiving from a variety of sand and turf conditions. Played by Justin Thomas, Adam Scott and Webb Simpson.
