[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] "Keeping the score."
The Titleist Vokey Design SM9 wedge (pictured) is the work of the 'master' Bob Vokey. The 'number 1 wedge' favored by world stars has already reached its ninth model. It is astonishing that since its first release in 2004, it has held the number one usage rate on professional golf tours worldwide for 19 years. The SM9 was quickly added to the golf bags of 'playoff (PO) champions' Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas. It is described as "delivering the most important consistency in short game performance, including trajectory and spin."
The innovative center of gravity design is unique. The face front is concentrated with weight placement lower for low lofts and relatively higher for high lofts, improving distance and trajectory control capabilities, which leads to a solid hitting feel. It features an unprecedented groove cutting process born after a 100% inspection process. Every groove is individually and delicately cut with micro-texture grooves. This ideal contact with the ball boasts Vokey's distinctive powerful spin.
The thinner and longer hosel provides visual stability when addressing the ball. Different hosel lengths by loft increase the moment of inertia (MOI) while enhancing consistency during impact. Available in three colors?Tour Chrome, Brushed Steel, and Jet Black?and six grinds (F, S, M, K, L, D). Combining nine lofts and five bounces offers an impressive 23 options. Professional fitters assist golfers in selecting 'their own wedge' perfectly suited to their style.
