According to Bob Vokey, the three keys to good wedge play are shot versatility, distance and trajectory control, and maximum spin. With the new Vokey Design SM9 wedges, Bob Vokey has developed the maximum number of options with its most complete range of loft, grind and bounce combinations.

Vokey Design SM9

The new SM9 wedges are Vokey's most versatile, precise and forgiving wedges to date, offering six grind options and a total of 23 different patterns ranging from 46° to 62°.

PROGRESSIVE CENTER OF GRAVITY FORWARD DISPLACEMENT

Based on the revolutionary Progressive Center of Gravity (CG) concept first introduced on the Vokey Design SM8 models, the new SM9s push the boundaries of this concept even further, featuring new innovations.
The result: better distances and better trajectory control, greater stability and therefore optimized regularity.

INSOLES OPTIONS

In order to always offer the most choice possible, the SM9 range continues to offer the most complete offer of options of soles, lofts and bounces, for greater creativity and better regularity. This gives golfers of all skill levels the ability to design multiple shots to attack the flagstick and play around the green.
The result of decades of collaboration with the best players on the tour, the six Vokey soles (F, S, M, K, L and D) are proven on the Tour and allow golfers of all levels to find a solution perfectly adapted.

NEW PATENTED SPIN MILLED PROCESS FOR MAXIMUM SPIN

A new Spin Milled machining process has been used for the SM9 models, which has involved revising our allowable tolerances to consistently produce sharper grooves on every wedge for higher, more consistent spin.
Spin Milled Grooves are the gold standard in precision groove machining. They are meticulously designed and cut around the edges to maximize spin and shot control.

PLAYERS' OPINION

Cameron Smith claimed the first win for the NEW Vokey Design SM9 wedges when they debuted at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Smith only got his hands on his new SM9s on Monday morning, when he found them in his locker in Kapalua. He showed up on the tee Thursday morning with four SM9s in his bag and finished the week third in strokes gained from tee to green (+8,404) and hit 86% of greens in regulation with an average closeness to the hole between 50 to 125 yards, 4m.

JORDAN SPIETH: “I really like hitting my wedges with a lower trajectory. I feel like I can control my distances better when I do this. I took them to practice with the Trackman, I used the SM8s and SM9s for two or three days before I could say, “Yes, they are better”. All the good stuff stayed the same and I felt I could adapt even better to some approach shots.”

JUSTIN THOMAS: “When I tested the SM9, it was nice to see the low, controlled flight. . She has the flight I want, the spin I want and she reacts the way I want”
