SM11: FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY
THE MOST COMPLETE LINEUP OF TOUR-PROVEN GRINDS
The Vokey SM11 lineup is comprised of an industry-leading 27 unique configurations of six tour-proven grinds: F, S, M, D, K and T. This variety allows any golfer to find the best wedge setup to fit their unique performance needs. Properly fit wedges help to improve contact (striking grooves two through five) and versatility, resulting in more consistent flight, increased spin and better shot-making ability around the greens.
“Wedges need to be versatile, and every player is different,” Master Craftsman Bob Vokey said. “It’s never one size fits all for wedges. That’s why we have many grind options. There is a wedge for every player.”
Additions and changes to the SM11 lineup:
- The .06K Grind, which was used to win the PGA Championship and The Open Championship in 2025, will be in the SM11 lineup at launch (58.06K, 60.06K). The .06K provides an alternative low-bounce lob wedge option to the in-line T Grind (58.04T, 60.04T).
- New to the lineup is the 44.10F, ideal for golfers who prefer the performance and profile of a Vokey pitching wedge but require a stronger loft than 46 degrees to properly gap their set.
- The higher-bounce K Grind lob wedge (58.12K, 60.12K) now features 12 degrees of bounce, having measured at 14 degrees previously. The .12K Grind has the same effective bounce as the .12D Grind, but the two grinds feature different sole designs targeted at different playing styles and course conditions.
PRECISE CG POSITIONING
In previous Vokey wedge designs, center of gravity (CG) positions varied slightly across grinds within the same loft due to differences in sole widths and geometries. With SM11, Vokey engineers worked to create identical CG placements within a given loft, independent of grind. This allows for consistent flight and feel while eliminating a variable in the fitting process.
“With SM11, all the CGs within a loft are now at the same exact point,” said Kevin Tassistro, Titleist R&D’s Director of Wedge Development. “So when golfers get fit into the right grind — whichever grind that is — and they're finding grooves two through five [with their strike], the ball will meet the CG in the correct spot.”
