Published

on

Titleist has just introduced their new Vokey Design SM9 Lightweight Options.

The Vokey Design SM9 wedges featuring lightweight steel and graphite shafts will be available beginning March 10, and aim to provide more in-store options for players with moderate swing speeds.

Plenty of golfers prefer lightweight shafts in their irons and this will give them the chance to have continuity throughout their bag and finding the right wedge to improve their wedge play.

“Every golfer has a unique swing and requires a unique wedge. Finding the right option for your swing type can allow you to hit any kind of wedge shot, in all conditions. Playing the right shaft can make a massive difference in performance.” – Master Craftsman Bob Vokey

Featured shafts for Vokey SM9 Lightweight include KBS Tour Lite 95 (wedge) and Tensei AM2 Red (regular, ladies). KBS Tour Lite is a lightweight steel shaft designed for players seeking additional spin and precision control in their wedge game, while Tensei AM2 Red is a graphite, high-launching shaft for players looking for more control from their scoring clubs.

  • Six unique toe engravings

    Good to see some lighter options for shafts, w/o having to custom order. Circa 2015, I saw some Mizuno wedges with if I remember right – XP105 shafts as stock; weighed around 100 grams.

    In 2020, Callaway offered graphite shafts in its game-improvement Mack Daddy CB wedges. The KBS Hi-Rev G had both 60- and 80-gram versions.

Spotted: Axis1 prototype broomstick putter

Published

on

We have seen an uptick in longer putters out on the professional tours with players gravitating toward either counterbalanced or broomstick styles. As a refresher, A “broomstick” putter is a long putter that is usually built to a length that goes up to your chest. If you have seen Adam Scott putt in a tournament recently, he uses what is classified as a broomstick putter.

Axis1 might not be the most common brand in the world of putters but they have been around a while, most notably in Justin Rose’s bag.

Axis1 is known for a putter that doesn’t look traditional but a design is used to get the center of gravity to the center of the club face, aligned with the shaft. This technology keeps the face aligned with the ball throughout the stroke. More traditional putters rotate around the shaft axis, which doesn’t align with the center of the putter, making it easier for the putter face to not be square to the target at impact.

This week at the Valero Texas Open, we spotted a prototype Axis1 putter in a long broomstick version. The head shape looks very similar to the current Axis1 Tour-HM putter that the company currently makes, which is a more squared-off mid-mallet. The prototype looks to have a similar multi-material head with a 304 stainless steel face mated to a composite back. Twin site lines run together, on the topline and on the flange, to create a longer line for aligning the putter. The steel face has a fairly shallow milling to it, and the flowing heel hosel connects to the aggressive shaft bend.

A matching black shaft is installed, and at the grip end is Super Stroke’s Zenergy Tour 1.0 two-piece in white and black. No word on if or when this will come to retail yet.
