Vokeys just got better...

When you have one of the most popular wedges on the market in Vokey SM7, it would seem prudent not to make wholesale changes when replacing it in 2020.

From SM7 to SM8, the same address looks, signature feel, excellent spin control remain as expected, but some subtle tweaks have been made to the design to make SM8 even better.

Wedges are your scoring clubs and in the SM8 you have all the tools you need to hit the ball closer to the hole from 120 yards and in. Most notably a more forgiving, stable clubhead along with high levels of consistent spin, great feel and lots of versatility thanks to the 23 loft and bounce options available across the six different sole grinds.

A description of each wedge/grind can be found below to help you select which wedge would suit your game the most. We also have available to try a wide variety of lofts, grinds in our fitting range, please feel free to come and try them.

Alternatively, we have an Exclusive Titleist Wedge Event on Wednesday 18th March from 2pm to 6pm and bookings can be made through the Pro Shop.

F Grind:

All purpose for full wedge shots.

The F grind is an all-purpose grind that is particularly suited for full shots and shots hit with a square face. Ideal for players who prefer a traditional wedge sole.

M Grind:

Multi-purpose for versatility.

The M Grind is designed for players that like to rotate the club face open and closed to manufacture shots around the green. Ideal for players with a shallower, more sweeping swing type who play shots from a variety of clubface positions.

S Grind:

Narrow & versatile.

The S Grind features a full sole that has been narrowed by a trailing edge grind, giving it a faster feel through the turf. This grind is best for neutral to firm conditions and for players that like to control loft with their hands ahead or behind the ball.

D Grind:

Player's high bounce wedge.

The D grind blends versatility from a heel, toe, and trailing edge grind and forgiveness with its high measured bounce. The D Grind is ideal for players with a steeper angle of attack who play shots from a variety of clubface positions.

L Grind:

Precision for skilled shot-makers.

The L Grind is the lowest bounce option in the range. The heel, toe, and trailing edge relief allow for maximum greenside versatility. This club is ideal for firm conditions and designed for precise players. It is ideal for players that have complete control of impact looking for maximum shot-making versatility.

K Grind:

The ultimate bunker club.

The K Grind is the highest bounce wedge in the SM8 line-up and is the ultimate bunker club. The K Grind is a wide, full sole wedge with enhanced camber to make it forgiving from a variety of sand and turf conditions.

Don't just take our word for it...

What do we want? Straighter shots. When do we want it? Now!

Starting the ball on the right line is key and, by watching the video below, you'll learn one of the simplest ways to do exactly that.

‘One of the important things about good golf is consistency and repetition’

We all know that’s easier said than done so when there's a way of creating consistency, it makes sense to take advantage.

That is the point of Golf Pride’s ALIGN grips, which feature a raised ridge on the back (the red strip) to ensure repetitive hand placement, helping to keep the face square throughout the swing.

Even better still, you can get a FREE ALIGN grip by coming to see us for a grip fitting! Click the link for more information.
