Since 1998, Vokey Design wedges have earned overwhelming success as the leader in the marketplace and the unmatched favorite of players across the worldwide professional tours. In fact, Vokey Design wedges have been the #1 wedge on the PGA Tour in terms of count and wins for eight consecutive years.
Now, for the first time since the U.S.G.A. and R&A instituted a rules change in 2010 governing golf club grooves, Titleist introduces a completely new line of Vokey Design Spin Milled wedges designed to maximize performance within the limits of the new regulations. The 2011 SM4 Vokey Design wedges feature Tour Extreme (SM4) scorelines – 17 precise, individually cut and 100% inspected grooves that aggressively approach the very ceiling of groove edge radius limits under the new specifications. Using computer aided design (CAD), 2011 SM4 wedges also feature new head designs, inspired by Bob Vokey’s tour-proven 200 series wedges. With twenty-one loft and bounce combinations and five different sole grinds that Bob Vokey developed through his research and work with the best players in the world, the 2011 SM4 Vokey Design wedges represent the next evolution in the most renowned scoring clubs in golf.
