New Vokey SM9 wedges are hitting tour this week at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Maui.
Bob Vokey and Tour Rep Aaron Dill, working alongside Vokey’s team of engineers, have spent the last two years designing prototypes and testing them with the world’s best players, pushing forward in their relentless mission to craft better performing and better feeling wedges.
Players in the field this week at Kapalua are getting the first opportunity to game the new models in competition. The tour launch of Vokey SM9 will continue at The American Express, when AD is back behind his grinding wheel in the Titleist Tour Truck at PGA West.

Stay tuned as we bring you more on the new Titleist Vokey SM9 wedges as it becomes available.

They could get my attention with a flagrantly non-conforming groove option.
Other than that unexpected development, probobly won’t be needing them.
They look good but I am going to need some good reasons to purchase them. Hope they have “More Cowbell” built into them. :)[media=giphy]l0HlBwsIWjIgEQXMk[/media]

I’ll get a couple of in hand shots coming this week if finish options for you.
Decent amount of stamping space. Eh [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER]
You take the black line out and it is even better.

maybe the volley wedge review. Lol
Always love my Vokey wedges. Got the SM8 last year… time to upgrade to the SM9’s?
I really liked the sm6’s but never did play the last 2 releases. I am really looking forward to finishing off the Titleist bag

This is the first time in a while, that I picked up a Vokey wedge and it immediately felt “right”. Not sure yet, but this looks really good in hand.

No tech specs shareable as of yet, but soon.
I’ve always enjoyed Vokey wedges. My last run with them was the SM5 and I think this version I will snag a 54* and see what it can do.

I’m very curious to see the options offered in the SM9.
The SM8s dropped an offering that had been in the Spin Milled franchise from the beginning.
I’m curious to see if it’s still out.
V grind yes
Saw more pics of these, and I really love the new look. The M and S grind look sweet in this iteration.
I can’t wait until I can get my hands on these. They will be the new wedges in the bag.
[QUOTE=”jdtox, post: 10336158, member: 5944″]
Those certainly look sweet. One of these days I’ll try a Vokey wedge
[/QUOTE]
You have never gamed vokeys?
I need new wedges. I’m holding off on until this and the Ping release so I can try them against the Cobra and Mizunos. I like the plain and simple look of these
Anybody hit the new SM9’s yet vs SM8? I have heard they appear smaller than the 8, but I love the shape of 8 and wouldn’t want the look much different.
I am gaming the SM8’s I love the classic look to them . One of the things which drew me to them actually. They feel amazing , my short game gained confidence by putting them in the bag

They don’t look that much different to me. I can take some pictures for you tomorrow probably.

Can you tell the difference? I can take a million pictures of them, but I tried to find a 8 vs. 9 that actually looked more different at address, and this is what I got. Teardrop slightly changed, sole width is a little bit too (these are M grinds btw) but everything is real subtle. They’re Vokeys, they’re great, they play great, the biggest visual difference to me is the top line. It’s rounded really like l nicely compared to the 8s. Looks less boxy, thinner. And in terms of playability the main difference I see, and I’ve mentioned it a bunch, is how they put more meat up top again on some of the higher lofts again like they had with the 7s.
[ATTACH type=”full”]9073979[/ATTACH]
See little more progressive beef.
[USER=53737]@OldandStiff[/USER] yeah not a ton of difference there. They look clean and I need a new gap and lob so I suppose I may as well just add the full set of new ones. Thank you!
My 54 came this week, slotted between two SM8s for now…we aren’t going to buy all SM9s (this is my mantra right now)
I’ve been gaming the 60* SM9 for about a month now. For the past 5 years the highest lofted wedge I’ve used was my 58* and I only used that from 60yds and in & out of bunkers.
The SM9 60* has added a new dimension to my bag. So versatile on areas around the green and it has been amazing out of the sand.
The last time I gamed Titleist wedges, it was the SM8 at early release and had some finish issues – which had me go in a different direction.
In the time I used them, I was average a hole out about once a month.. It was kind of insane.
I think about that a lot. Wondering if SM9 has the same kind of magic.

I dare you…
I really enjoy my SM8s. I cannot justify upgrading since my grooves are still fresh, and my wedges are looking mighty rusty and beautiful, but these look great.

To be fair, I’m back and forth between 9s and two different sets of 8s. Feel wise, i think they are very similar. At address, the 9 is definitely a little more pleasing to my eye – which I’m sure is all in my head.
Lately I’ve been having trouble gauging distance on the 54° SM9. It feels very jumpy to me, and I can’t explain it. Specs are the same as the 8s, and I don’t get this poppy-flyer type pitches that I am getting with this one club in particular.

Had some seriously good shots with the SM9 50° today. really enjoy the weight/feel of the SM9’s. Need to replace my 58° over the winter and it will be another SM9
