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 while 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 playing great wedge shots are versatility, distance and trajectory control, and maximum spin. With the introduction of the new Vokey SM9 wedges, golfers have maximum freedom to choose the ideal loft, bounce and sole shape for the greatest 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 creates a lower, more consistent flight with higher spin. Shots struck above this area tend to fly higher, with shorter distance and less spin. That is why the new SM9 wedges feature progressive centres of gravity that change according to the loft and the purpose for which that particular loft is most commonly used.
We can help you choose the right SM9 wedges based on a short 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 are playing from, contact with the ball and overall wedge performance around the green.”
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 or shallow),
- for their approach style (their most common shots, with or without a divot),
- for course conditions (firm, neutral or soft).
Vokey wedges can be ordered with custom personalisation. Create a unique wedge with your own text and text colour. The wedges come standard with a True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 shaft and a Tour Velvet 360 White grip.
