What is the difference between the SM8 and SM9?
The major difference between the SM8 and SM9 is that the SM9 has more spin and a lower trajectory than the SM8. Other differences are listed above to help you make a confident choice between these two such as the feel, control, and consistency.
Can the Titleist Vokey SM9 outperform the SM8 in a head-to-head showdown?
Can the Titleist Vokey SM9 wedge outperform the SM8 in a head-to-head showdown? In the latest Proving Ground, our experts tested the new Titleist Vokey SM9 against its predecessor, the SM8. Here’s which wedge prevailed.
Is the SM9 Vokey wedge worth it over SM8?
The SM9 Vokey wedge is worth being chosen over SM8 because the SM9 provides an increased spin of up to 8200 RPM with a lower trajectory which gives you better control, consistency, ball flight, and a cleaner shot than the SM8. Greater versatility. Improved turf interaction. CNC milled grooves for trajectory and spin control.
What is the Vokey SM9 spin story?
With the Vokey SM9, the spin story isn’t exclusively about spin itself; it’s about preserving spin and extending the life of the wedge. To keep grooves sharp a bit longer, Vokey heat-treats all of its faces. Spin decline is inevitable but the heat treatment helps to slow down the clock.
