50 WORDS OR LESS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Titleist Vokey SM5 wedge is an update to what should be considered the industry standard.<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you think of wedges, a short list of names comes to mind and Vokey is always one near the top of the list.\u00a0 For years, Bob Vokey and his team have taken a great design and made slight modifications to keep improving an already great wedge.\u00a0 The new Titleist Vokey SM5 wedge line now offers more options on top of an already classic design.<\/p>\n

LOOKS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Titleist Vokey wedge is already one of the cleanest looking wedges in the game, but the new Vokey SM5 wedge line looks even more refined.\u00a0 With minimal branding, modest paint, and clean finishes, the SM5 let\u2019s the club do the talking.\u00a0 You can still get the Vokey in a Tour Chrome finish, but the SM5 brings two new finishes to the general public: Gold Nickel and Raw Black.\u00a0 In addition to three different finish options and a variety of grinds and bounces, you can now custom order your Vokey SM5 wedge with custom stamping, paint fill, different grips, adjustments, etc\u2026<\/p>\n

The shape of the SM5 is a nice compact pear shape with a thin topline.<\/p>\n

SOUND & FEEL<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

When hitting shots with the Titleist Vokey SM5 wedge, you get a very traditional sounding click from the face.\u00a0 You still get a soft feel out of the wedge, but the sound is solid and reassuring.\u00a0 The feel across the entire face is soft, but it\u2019s not mushy and unresponsive.\u00a0 You get very solid feedback from the face of the SM5 which makes it easy to dial in how you can use the club to hit different types of shots.\u00a0 These new SM5 wedges have a lot of similarities in feel to my SM4 TVD wedges, which I felt were quite a bit different than the regular SM4 wedges.<\/p>\n

PERFORMANCE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Arguably the biggest update in the Titleist Vokey SM5 line is the new TX3 grooves which are deeper, more durable, and increase spin.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t had the new SM5\u2019s in play long enough to speak to the groove durability, but I will tip my cap to them in the sense that they provide good spin and are versatile around the green.<\/p>\n

We received the M and K grinds to demo.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been told by an insider that the M grind, Vokey\u2019s original tour grind, is Vokey\u2019s \u201cMost Favorite\u201d of all the grinds.\u00a0 The M grind features a crescent-shaped forward bounce sole and a relieved heel, toe, and trailing edge, along with medium camber and bounce making it good players players with shallow or neutral swings.<\/p>\n

My insider also told me that K grind came from extensive work with Adam Scott and Jason Dufner to find a forgiving club out of the sand, but that could still be used for a lot of different shots around the greens.\u00a0 The big \u201ca-ha\u201d moment for Vokey regarding the K grind was when Adam Scott decided to put one into play at Augusta with all of its tight lies.\u00a0 The K grind has a wider sole for increased bounce and enhanced camber and is good for players with either a neutral or digger attack on the ball.<\/p>\n

In the event that the M or K grind doesn\u2019t work for you, the new SM5 Vokey wedges are available in four other grinds as well.\u00a0 Having the right sole grind for your game is crucial so make sure you make the proper selection when it\u2019s time to buy.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the interest of full disclosure, I have been playing Vokey wedges for years.\u00a0 With every new Vokey release, I\u2019m always excited and curious to see what could possibly improve in my favorite wedges and the Vokey SM5 wedges were no different.\u00a0 The nice part is that I still have the traditional Vokey shape and feel that I love, but there are new looks, more grind choices, and new grooves to freshen up a classic.\u00a0 As much as it feels like you\u2019re getting a totally new wedge, you still have that familiarity of an old reliable friend and you\u2019re immediately comfortable when it matters most on the golf course.<\/p>\n

The Already Popular Wedge Just Got Better<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Bob Vokey has been designing the most popular wedges on tour for 10 years and year after year he introduces new features and shapes to retain that ranking.\u00a0 The variety of grinds, finishes, shapes and grooves over the years has been astounding.\u00a0 Bob Vokey is a true craftsman when it comes to wedges.\u00a0 The 2014 SM5 wedges might be his best line yet.\u00a0 The sheer volume of options help even the average golfer get wedges that fit their game right off the rack and allows them plenty of choices to get the look they want too.\u00a0 While Vokey wedges are already popular, they just got better.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

For me the most important factor in choosing a wedge is head shape.\u00a0 I\u2019ve found over the years that if the headshape fits my eyes, the performance almost always follows.\u00a0 It creates confidence and results when I trust that the wedge will strike the ball the way I intend it to.\u00a0 The hosel transition to leading edge and the toe shape translate into performance for me.\u00a0 The Vokey Design SM5 wedges have the shape that I love.\u00a0 They have a smooth transition from the hosel to the leading edge which works best for me as well as a slightly rounded toe all in a compact head size.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The wedge grinds also make a huge difference in performance.\u00a0 While many average golfer might not be fully educated on all the different grinds and to be honest, personally I only understand about half of how the grinds function. I do know that finding the grinds that work for your game is pretty important.\u00a0 The easiest way to find your fit is to use the fitting charts on Titleist\u2019s or Vokey\u2019s websites.\u00a0 They really help narrow down your needs.\u00a0 I went with a 54* S Grind in chrome and a 58* M Grind in chrome.\u00a0 The grinds fit my needs and the chrome finish looks so clean, especially with my AP2 Irons.\u00a0 They come stock with a DG s200 shaft and a tour velvet BV grip.\u00a0 The looks are clean and the grinds are really great.<\/p>\n

The talk of wedges still continues to be the grooves.\u00a0 It has been a couple years now since the USGA made the groove ruling which limited the shape and sharpness of the grooves.\u00a0 That hasn\u2019t stopped wedge designers from pushing those boundaries with new grooves.\u00a0 The Vokey Designed TX3 grooves are deep and offer great spin.\u00a0 I was impressed with how much spin I could still generate with these grooves, even out of the rough.\u00a0 Sure it isn\u2019t like old box grooves, but these Spin Milled grooves can really get the ball rotating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Vokey SM5 wedges are cast for durability, but they still retain a nice feel off the face no matter the swing, full or half.\u00a0 I might still prefer the feel of forged wedges, but these are not harsh.\u00a0 The durability is going to be a real plus as I\u2019ve been practicing more and playing on some fairly firm conditions.<\/p>\n

When all is said and done, it probably isn\u2019t too important how they look, how they feel, or how they spin; it really comes down to \u201cHow do they score?\u201d\u00a0 This is the part that I am most thrilled about.\u00a0 With the Titleist Vokey SM5 wedges in the bag, my scores have been going lower and lower.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been able to consistently play in the mid 70s this season.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never been that low in my life.\u00a0 I attribute this to a combination of practice and better fitting clubs.\u00a0 The Vokey SM5 wedge are both.\u00a0 I\u2019ve spend more time working on my wedge game and I have perfectly fitting wedges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
