Vokey SM9 wedges begin tour seeding this week

Update 7:00 p.m.: Max Homa and Garrick Higgo posted shots of SM9 wedges in their Instagram stories.
Titleist announced today the Vokey Design SM9 will begin tour seeding this week at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Maui.
While the company hasn’t provided any tech details, a release indicated, “Master Craftsman Bob Vokey and Vokey 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.”
We’ll be sure to get you a list of players who are putting the SM9 in Hawaii this week as well as any additional player feedback we can round up.
Titleist tweeted the following.
Aloha, #SM9. ?

A blown-up version of the photo Vokey provided makes the shaping differences — softer, more rounded a bit more SM7-like — between the SM8 and SM9 clear, as well as adjustments to the graphics.
Most noticeably, gone is the recessed bar in the middle of the rear of the wedge. Whether it’s a thin slot in that position on the club or a stamped line paintfilled black remains to be seen.
For reference, Vokey’s SM8 wedges, below.

Let us know what you think about this photo of the Vokey SM9, GolfWRXers, and stay tuned once the pros put it in play.

GolfWRX Holiday Spotlight: FlightScope Mevo+ launch monitor

Product: FlightScope Mevo+ launch monitor
Pitch from FlightScope: “Elevate your golf game with the most fully equipped launch monitor and simulator. The award-winning Mevo+ comes out of the box with 20 data parameters, 10 simulated golf courses, skills challenges, games, and more. Using Patented Fusion Tracking technology, the Mevo+ gives users accurate and consistent performance data for indoor and outdoor use. Whether you want to practice with a purpose and improve your game or just have fun with family and friends, the Mevo+ is for you.”
Plus, with a promo code (HOLIDAY23) you can get the Mevo+, which retails for $2,199, for $1,869.
Our take on the FlightScope Mevo+
FlightScope’s Mevo+ has been one of the most-used and widely praised launch monitor models over the past few years, but that didn’t mean that FlightScope was going to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Adding new features and even some hardware updates was the big story for Mevo+ in 2023 with the addition of the Pro Package and Face Impact location upgrades.
As a refresher, FlightsSope’s patented Fusion Tracking software combines the monitor’s 3D Doppler radar and image processing for unmatched data accuracy. Combining the two capture systems lets the strengths of each shine, giving you the most accurate data on your swing and shots.
The Mevo+ tracks and displays 20 data parameters, including club head speed, ball speed, launch, and spin that all golfers want to see to dial in their game. Adding the Pro Package adds another 30 parameters like face-to-path, face-to-target, vertical swing plane, low point, and much more. If you are a golfer looking to tune up your swing this winter, the club data can help you and your coach ensure you are making the progress you need.
For the club junkies out there, FlightScope’s Mevo+ will get your club distances dialed in or optimize the flight on that new adjustable driver or fairway wood. Doppler radar tracks the golf ball from the second it leaves the club until it reaches the ground, so you know exactly how your shots are going to perform on the course.
If you are looking to do a little indoor simulation golf during the cold months, then the Mevo+ has you covered there as well. E6 Connect is included with your Mevo+ purchase, which includes six golf courses, 17 practice ranges, and online games to scratch the golf itch until you can get back out on the course. FlightScope also includes its FS Skills app that will help you assess your skills and compare them to other golfers around the world. FS Skills can make practice fun with targets and distance games that help improve your weaknesses.
Again, with promo code (HOLIDAY23) you can get the Mevo+, which retails for $2,199, for just $1,869.
