Titleist SM9 Wedge, Brushed Steel
Optimal spin, trajectory height, and sole shape can turn your short game into your greatest strength. An excellent short game means a better score. The new SM9 is available in the three most popular finishes: Tour Chrome, Brushed Steel, and Jet Black.
Bob Vokey is a master of his craft and spends hundreds of hours with the world’s best players when developing new wedges. Based on their feedback, he designs wedges that deliver uncompromising performance for players of all skill levels. According to Bob Vokey, the three key areas for great wedge play are versatility, distance and trajectory control, and maximum spin. With the introduction of the new Vokey SM9 wedges comes maximum freedom to choose the ideal loft, bounce, and sole shape for maximum improvement in all three key areas. Vokey Design wedges have been the most-played wedges on the PGA TOUR every year since 2004.
Over years of research and design, Vokey discovered that the optimal point of contact between the wedge and the ball is between the second and fifth grooves. This produces a lower, more consistent flight with higher spin. Shots struck above this area tend to fly higher, travel shorter distances, and generate less spin. That is why the new SM9 wedges feature progressive centers of gravity that change according to the loft and the purpose for which each loft is most commonly used.
We can help you choose the right SM9 wedges based on a brief interview followed by testing. “It is important that your wedges match your swing type, playing style, and course conditions,” says Vokey. “This selection process should begin by determining the right grind for the shots you play most often. The right grind provides the best interaction with the turf you play from, contact with the ball, and overall wedge performance around the green.” he adds.
Six proven grinds—F, S, M, K, L, and D—developed over decades of working with the world’s best players, allow golfers of all levels to choose the right sole shape
- for their swing (steep, neutral, shallow),
- for their approach style (most common shots without or with a divot),
- for course conditions (firm, neutral, or soft).
Vokey wedges can be ordered with custom personalization. Create a unique wedge with your own text and text color. The wedges come standard with a True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 shaft and a Tour Velvet 360 White grip.
