Vokey Releases Limited Edition Indigo 452 Wedges
Vokey’s WedgeWorks is back to blue with its release of its limited-edition Vokey Spin Milled 452 Indigo wedges. The lustrous clubs were released this month, but precedent says they will sell out quickly.
The 400 series shape is slightly altered from Vokey’s SM4 wedges, with increased offset, a higher heel and a more rounded toe peak. The wedges feature a medium width sole, trailing edge ribbon and heel relief for versatility in shot making. They have 8 degrees of bounce and the latest SM4 grooves, but even though the wedges are designed to be gamed their beautiful finish will leave you hesitant to take a divot.
The 452’s are treated with Vokey’s Indigo PVD finish that gives them their blue appearance. After extensive play, the finish will wear but won’t rust. They cost $225 each, but you get what you pay for – custom Limited Edition wedges from the hands of Bob Vokey and the WedgeWorks team.
Customization is no issue, with plenty of options on grips shafts and personalization at no extra charge. The standard shaft is a KBS Custom Series Black Matte with a Vokey Multi-Compund Blue grip, but other combinations of shaft and grip are available. Vokey also offers four characters of personalization at no charge.

It’s hard to believe Tiger Woods’ Sunday pitch-in and resultant explosive fist pump at The Memorial was 12 years ago. Alas, if we know one thing here at WITB Time Machine it’s that time waits for no man — nor Tiger.
The flop shot hole-out at the par-3 16th pulled the then-14-time major champion level with Rory Sabbatini for the tournament. Woods would go on to card a final-round 67 and secure a two-stroke victory over Sabbatini and Andres Romero.
“Every shot was exactly the shape, the trajectory, the distance control,” Woods said of his final round. “I had it all today, shape off tees, whatever club I wanted to hit, I could hit. That was fun to have it when I needed it.”
The win was Woods’ 73rd, which fittingly tied tournament host Jack Nicklaus’ PGA Tour total.
See what Tiger had in play 12 years ago, below.

Take the top-selling driver of the year (per Golf Datatech), give it a military finish, and make a donation to Ohio-area (in partnership with The Memorial Tournament) veterans’ organizations in the process. That’s what Callaway is doing with its new Paradym Ai Smoke Tactical driver launch. The company is also fitting four wounded warrior veterans on the range ahead of The Memorial.
Green forged carbon replaces the traditional sole of the Paradym Ai Smoke Max and Ai Smoke Triple Diamond for what might be called a camouflage-adjacent look, as you can see below. Also apparent are the green weights and military-inspired graphics.
Callaway has also partnered with Mitsubishi to develop a Mitsubishi Tensei shaft with a custom cosmetic.
…and is outfitting the Tactical drivers with green/black Golf Pride MCC grips.
…and a custom headcover.
The drivers — Paradym Ai Smoke Max and Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond — are available for pre-sale today for $699.99 in 9 and 10.5-degree loft offerings.
Check out in-hand photos of both drivers from Muirfield Village below.

Is the colored club heads going to be a new trend? First, we’re seeing different colored driver heads, now wedges, and I assume irons will be next.

Of course color on the clubhead is a gimmick. I love it though. Looks great. Too bad it wears off easily.

I love these. I’d really love a different color for each wedge. I looked at the Feel wedges but didn’t care particularly for their specific colors.

For some people that hit 300 balls a day plus 3 rounds a week.. I don’t want to see a different color wedge every time I address the club because of wear.. . with that said they are sweet looking.

Didn’t they release these a couple of years ago but it was a 58 deg. I owned one of those and quickly got rid of it after playing it. The finish also wears pretty quick especially the face and sole. Had no problem selling it though. I do think the old 400 series Vokey wedges were the best he has done.

I wonder when James Patrick is going to start his line of wedges for Titleist, I have heard that he is only going to be for Japanese Market, But have also heard JP is going to take over Vokey’s TVD and custom department. Does anyone have an idea or an update from JP?

Blue Wedges! If TMag did this, we’d be reviling them with buckets of venom right now. But it’s Titleist and Vokey so we must reverentially take a knee.
