The BEST Vokey SM9 Wedge For You

When it comes to golf, mastering the short game is essential for achieving lower scores. Among the most important clubs in your bag for achieving this are the wedges. It is vital that when choosing wedges, you get custom fit so we can find the best Vokey SM9 wedge for you.

Vokey wedges, designed by craftsman Bob Vokey, have long been regarded as the pinnacle in wedge performance. Some of the reasons that make Vokey the leader in the scoring area of the game include:

  1. Unparalleled Design and Craftsmanship:

“The Vokey SM9 wedges represent the pinnacle of wedge design and craftsmanship. Bob Vokey’s relentless pursuit of perfection is evident in every aspect of these clubs. From the precision-milled clubheads to the carefully designed grinds and grooves, every detail is meticulously crafted to enhance performance and versatility”.

2. Spin Milled Grooves for Maximum Control:

The Spin Milled grooves on the Vokey SM9 wedges are a game-changer. These precisely cut grooves and micro-grooves create optimal spin rates, allowing you to control your shots with exceptional precision. The improved groove design enhances spin consistency, even in challenging conditions, giving you the confidence to attack pins and get up and down from any lie.

3. Extensive Range of Options:

One of the key strengths of the Vokey SM9 wedges is the wide range of options available to golfers. With a variety of loft, bounce, and grind options, you can tailor your wedge selection to match your playing style and course conditions.

 

Vokey offers 7 grinds with the additional T (Tour Proven) grind, the narrowest sole in the lineup. T Grind is a low bounce option with maximum toe, heel and trailing edge relief, allowing for the ultimate greenside versatility. 

Bounces vary amongst the grind options from 4 to 14, depending on a players attack angle and the conditions they tend to play, there will be an option for any golfer. 

So when you decide to get new wedges, with so many options available, don’t assume they all do the same job, as each one has a unique purpose. Hence why tour professionals will change wedges quite often depending on the conditions, from hard, fast summer Open conditions, to damp, lush, slower autumnal conditions. 

Ensure you get custom fit to maximise your chances of getting the best Vokey SM9 for you. Check out our special wedge fitting events HERE.

SM9 takes SM8’s forward centre of gravity (CG) and raising it even further, promoting a more controlled ball flight and solid contact.

  • MAXIMUM SPIN / NOTHING SPINS LIKE A VOKEY

SM9’s new grooves are cut to the edge to maximize spin. Each Vokey wedge is 100% inspected for utmost quality and performance, and a localized heat treatment is applied to the impact area to double the durability of the groove.

·    SPIN MILLED GROOVES

SM9’s patented Spin Milled grooves are meticulously engineered through a new cutting process to maximize 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 loft and finish; low lofts (46°-54°) are designed with narrower, deeper grooves, while higher lofts (56°-62°) have wider, shallower grooves.

 

·    4 HEAD FINISHES

SM9 comes in 4 head finishes including, Chrome, Raw, Brushed Steel and Jet Black, all offering different feels.
