Testers Wanted: Titleist Vokey Wedges

The new Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges were released in March and have quickly become a popular addition to many golfers’ bags. Why? To answer that, we are looking for four golfers to test, review and keep a set of Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges.

About The Vokey SM10 Wedges

MyGolfSpy staff member Tony Covey has a complete breakdown of the new SM10 wedges here , which is a must-read, but the shorter version is that Vokey SM10 is focused on three key elements—versatility, distance control, trajectory—while maximizing spin. The Vokey SM10 lineup has a total of 25 loft, bounce and grind options.

This includes the M Grind that had previously only been available through WedgeWorks and T Grind that has made its way to the retail market. The other options that a golfer must choose are the finishes: tour chrome, jet black and the new nickel.

There’s more, though. The Vokey SM10 has refined the shape and CG placement to help optimize distance control and trajectory. This works in tandem with their spin-milled grooves that feature groove geometry that varies depending on the loft to maximize spin for each loft.

Titleist Wedge Selector Tool

Of course, all of this can be a lot to take in so Titleist offers an online Wedge Selector Tool to help simplify things. It is a series of eight questions which gather various information about your current setup and game to help make the best recommendation on what setup would be best for you.

“Enjoy the process” – all of modern media

It seems like everyone in the media is talking about the “process” or the “journey” but few take time to explain what they truly mean by these terms.

So, let’s break it down.

Process in Golf vs Outcome in Golf

Let’s first start by understanding what the difference between process in golf and outcome is. The outcome is the end goal, what you dream of achieving. It is the results that you see. For example, your scoring average, or finish at a tournament.

The process in golf is the systems you have in place and the actions you take daily to get to your end goal. For example, developing a consistent pre-shot routine, or practicing putting 5 times a week.

Updated Pitching Thoughts (Copy)

This article is an update on the many pitching and chipping articles I've written over the last few years. Not much has changed since I did the Wedge Project video, but there are certain elements I have a deeper understanding about. Experience and the smart guys at PING have gone a long way towards advancing my understanding. Let's take a look...

Discussing pitching at a Three Day Golf School

Great pitchers typically take little to no divot, flight the ball low and generate high spin rates

Lower trajectory shots are significantly easier to gauge than higher ones

When struck correctly lower trajectory wedge shots will almost always have more spin than higher shots
