Vokey Design SM8 by Titleist have been incredibly popular both on tour and in the bags of golfers and today they are announcing a new Slate Blue finish that is sure to perk some ears up.
“A player has to love their wedge when they look down at it,” said Bob Vokey.
The Slate Blue finish is applied like most of their PVD is done, but with a unique material that is a bit more time intensive. The result is a deep slate blue color that is quite durable. Will it wear? Yes, but over time, not immediately.
“Very often, wedge finishes can be beautiful, but they won’t last,” said Vokey. “At the same time, the most durable finishes often aren’t stunning. Slate Blue combines the two. Not only will golfers love their wedge when they see it in the shop, the finish will last through the course of normal play.”
Consistent with all Vokey Design SM8 finishes, Slate Blue is available in all 23 loft, bounce, and grind options (both RH/LH), while supplies last.

Fun fact, I’ve never hit a Vokey wedge. Those look absolutely fantastic!
I knew you would have one on order
You get me.
These are sharp!
I think its just a hot bluing treatment, lightly brushed.
Read over that article linked in the first post.
Woof, PVD on a wedge. More like a $200 two tone finish after one round trip to the sand box.
All I can base it on is what they have told me and speaking with their wedge team they say that is not the case.
I got the sense that the sole will last a few more sessions in the bunker, the face will last a little longer but ultimately, you will have a raw wedge – which is very nice. I like ’em raw.
First time I’ve heard this about any Titleist equipment
I have the raw and the jet black, and damnit I want the slate blue too. Ill be broke if they offer a copper, like the SM6s.
Are you sure? Because these are pretty awesome too… And I don’t make you wait.

If you haven’t already done so you will love that "D" grind… works in just about any ground conditions.
Defiantly need some pix when they arrive… my replacement wedges once my SM8’s need a refresh.
Oh for sure … there will be a plethora of pics with this bad boy! It may be too pretty to go in the bag
