Spotted: Vokey SM6 wedges

Published

on

Coming soon, Vokey SM6 wedges. We spotted the yet-to-be-announced successors to the SM5 wedges on the range at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.

It appears that the SM6 wedges have a new loft-dependent weight scheme. Titleist isn’t officially commenting on the new clubs, but the photos show “weight pads” that look to lower the center of gravity (CG) in lower-lofted wedges (see the 52-degree wedge below), and raise the CG of the higher-lofted wedges (see the 60-degree wedge below).

    Rumor has it that this will be bob Vokey’s last project for titleist before he retires. Thus he wanted to release his favorite design, the 400 series. The brand will continue on obviously. But we should appreciate the man that truly changed wedges forever.

    When do these wedges come out for retail?

    Some say “Vokey” (BV), others don’t… how come??

    You lead hands hacks couldn’t tell the difference between forged and cast anyways…

    I played SM4s and 5s, and didn’t find much difference between the two with excepting to the k grind. I like the little bit of difference. Also like the straighter leading edge. These are nice.

    it appears that they are changing the weight around similar to the SCOR or Hogan Wedges and Tom Wishon’s new wedges, especially in the lower lofted wedges. Not a bad thing for Titleist to copy.

    The pics of the 60 show two different clubs (titleist stamping is low on one and high on the other). Anyone know what the difference is?

      The stamping is high on one and low on the other.

    I like the look. They are starting to look like Fourteen Wedges to me…..which are sweet.

    Can somebody explain all the grinds and why there are so many choices?

    Very confusing

    • A.Huffman

      Oct 20, 2015 at 10:46 pm

      Vokey.com explains each grind. Find one that best suits your game. They aren’t one size fit all.

    • Don't worry about it

      Oct 21, 2015 at 12:44 pm

      It’s just the way the sole interacts with the turf….particularly important with wedges because you hit the widest variety of shots with those clubs, from full shots to half pitches, to chips to flops to sand shots. You need a sole that you’re comfortable with. The grind options are really just for the better players, average golfers honestly probably aren’t good enough to play the difference shots that you’d need particular grinds for anyway.

    • Don't worry about it

      Oct 21, 2015 at 12:46 pm

      Also depends a lot on what types of grass you generally play off of….again, a small advantage that the average golfer isn’t really going to think twice about.

      There are many grinds because Vokeys are played by pros and ams who are serious about their wedges. If you can’t tell the difference, start in the middle of the bounce options. Adjust as needed.

    Looks like there are some with a mid muscle and some with a top muscle. I love the top muscle, looks forgiving and stylish. Mid muscle, not so much.

    K grinds coming?

    On second glance on the 60 you can see the influences from JP finally coming into the range. I really shape / weighted look of the 60.

      Where are you looking? And where do you buy your drugs?

    surely the 56 should have the same matching weight pad behind the sweetspot? It doesn’t make any sense to have it on the 52 & 60 and not on the 56. It makes it look like they’ve come from a different set all together.

    • David W

      Oct 21, 2015 at 1:45 pm

      The weight is lower on the 52, even on the 56, and higher on the 60 which is why there is no need for a weight pad on the 56.

    Oil Can or Rusty finish please. And forged as well. Japan and Korea get forged heads. Why not the rest of the planet?

    • Loohooser

      Oct 20, 2015 at 11:30 am

      Yes please

    • Nolanski

      Oct 20, 2015 at 3:33 pm

      You can buy them online for $175. Google “cold forged vokey wedge”.

    • David W

      Oct 21, 2015 at 1:46 pm

      Has there ever been a Vokey wedge that wasn’t forged?

      • mb

        Oct 21, 2015 at 1:51 pm

        none of them are forged in N.A. market

        • Lee

          Oct 21, 2015 at 3:32 pm

          In Europe we also get the form forged/punch cast whatever you prefer to call them – Top performing and tightest production to spec on the market from the Chinese factory where they are made.

    Looks like something TM would make. I’ll buy something forged instead.

  21. Tom

    Oct 19, 2015 at 9:06 pm

    I’ve been of Vokey’s for a decade but; the SM6 F&M grind reminds me of a favorite 400 series.

  22. mhendon

    Oct 19, 2015 at 8:27 pm

    Yeah I don’t see any difference in the so called weight pad between the 52 and the 60. So I don’t believe it’s meant to adjust the center of gravity according to loft. If anything it’s probably for feel putting a little more mass behind the sweet spot.

  23. gvogel

    Oct 19, 2015 at 8:17 pm

    Looks like the leading edge is straighter on these than on previous Vokeys.

    Which is good if you break your putter and have to putt with your wedge.

  24. MARCUS

    just when i was about to buy a new set of wedges. reckon i will wait for these to arrive and see how they do.

    wonder about the K-Grind. Somehow Titleist is all over the place with all the writing – rather strange.

    Ugggggglllllleeeeeee… Titleist has been swinging and missing with their most recent releases. And for the folks that know me from the GolfOpinions and Bombsquad days, you KNOW I’m a Titleist apologist, too. Feels bad, man.

WITB Time Machine: Paul Casey’s winning WITB, 2019 Valspar Championship

Published

on

At the 2019 Valspar Championship, Englishman Paul Casey took the trophy at the Copperhead Course for the second year in a row. On a difficult Sunday, Casey’s 1-over 72 was good enough for a one-stroke victory over Louis Oosthuizen and Jason Kokrak as Dustin Johnson faltered.

Check out Casey’s clubs from five years ago below.

Driver: TaylorMade M4 (10.5 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 70 TX (tipped 1 inch)

3-wood: TaylorMade M1 (15 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 80 TX Limited (tipped 1.75 inches)

Irons: Mizuno MP-25 (3), Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal Pro (4), Mizuno MP-5 (5-PW)
Shafts: Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 120 TX

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM7 (52-08F, 56-10S), Vokey Proto (60)
Shaft: Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 120 X

Putter: Scotty Cameron Circle T 350-SSS
Grip: Scotty Cameron Matador

Grips: Golf Pride ZGrip Cord Midsize

Golf Ball: Titleist Pro V1

Mizuno’s Senior Club Engineer, Chris Voshall told us Casey’s somewhat surprising setup in his long irons is simply the product of Casey hitting the windows he wants to with the particular clubs in question.

“It’s all based on the height of the ball flight,” Voshall said. The MP-25 3-iron was more penetrating and better for him off the tee, so he kept it in there.”
