Find your perfect grind with the Titleist Vokey Design SM8 Wedges. Bob Vokey’s 6 Tour-proven sole grinds give all golfers a set of wedges fit for their swing type and course conditions. Finely-tuned Progressive Center of Gravity placement achieves improved trajectory, distance control and feel. The Spin Milled groove cutting process and 100% quality inspection prove nothing spins like a Vokey.
HIT YOUR NUMBER:
Vokey recommends 4° - 6° of loft separation between your wedges, resulting in 10-15 yard gaps
Most players will benefit from carrying 4 wedges, which lead to tighter distance gaps and more full swings
BOUNCE AND GRIND SELECTION:
Having different grind options in your wedge set will create more versatility and improve your shot making from various lies and turf conditions
Bob Vokey’s 6 Tour-proven sole grinds give all golfers a set of wedges fit for their swing type and course conditions
F-Grind: Full sole designed primarily for full swings and square face shots. Due to this design, it is the only grind available in 46° - 52°, with the 54° and 56° being the most played SW on Tour.
M-Grind: Voke’s favorite, the M Grind is designed for players that like to rotate the club face open and shut to manufacture shots around the green.
S-Grind: Design based on feedback from Steve Stricker, the S is best for square face shots with a touch more versatility than the F Grind. Simple mechanics are best with this wedge.
D-Grind: The player’s high bounce wedge. High measured bounce with the crescent shape of the M Grind for shot making versatility.
K-Grind: The highest bounce wedge in the lineup, the K Grind is the ultimate bunker club and the most forgiving wedge in the lineup for all shots.
L-Grind: The L Grind features a narrow crescent shape allowing maximum green side versatility, but it is the least forgiving wedge in the lineup.
BOUNCE IS YOUR FRIEND:
Adding one high bounce and one mid bounce wedge to your set will create move versatility and improve shot making from various lies and turf conditions
High bounce options (F, D & K Grinds) are designed for soft bunker, heavy rough or soft fairway conditions and suit golfers with a neutral to steep/digger stroke type
Mid bounce options (F, M & S Grinds) are designed for low-cut fairway conditions and are suited for golfers with a neutral to steep/digger stroke type
Low bounce options (L Grind) are designed for hardpan bunker conditions and are suited for golfers with a shallow/sweeper stroke type
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
Tour-validated, expertly crafted wedges designed to offer maximized spin, control and consistency
Progressive Center of Gravity placement enables precise distance gaps and trajectory control
CG location optimized for each loft, bounce and grind for exceptional feel through the set
High density tungsten pushes CG forward from the face for a more reliable, pure strike
Lengthened hosel and low tungsten weighting delivers increased MOI, improved feel and ball flight
Spin Milled Grooves unique to each club finish to create sharpest, most consistent edges
Parallel Face Texture for more consistent edges, tighter tolerances and maximum spin
Low lofts (46° - 54°) designed with narrower, deeper grooves
Higher lofts (56° - 62°) have wider grooves across the face
Unique grooves result in superior spin and control on all shots
Titleist Vokey SM8 Jet Black Wedge
Great wedge play comes from distance control, shot versatility and spin. Bob Vokey and team have designed the SM8 wedges to improve in all three areas.
Vokey SM8 Wedge
The Height of Innovation.
Great wedge play comes from distance control, shot versatility and spin. Bob Vokey and team have designed the SM8 wedges to improve in all three areas.
Improved Distance and Trajectory Control
Introduced in SM6, refined in SM7, and reimagined in SM8. The center of gravity (CG) has been pushed forward, which produces higher MOI. For golfers, this means improved feel and a club face that simply wants to square at impact.
Maximum Spin. Ultimate Control.
SM8 grooves are cut to the edge to maximize spin and shot control. Each groove on every head is 100% inspected for conformity, and a localized heat treatment is applied to the impact area to double the durability of the groove.
Tour-Proven Sole Grinds
Your swing is unique and requires a unique wedge. Master Craftsman Bob Vokey has spent years crafting, developing, and improving his Tour-proven sole grinds to fit players of all levels.
F Grind: 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. The F grind is the most played sand wedge on Tour including Justin Thomas, Ian Poulter and Charlie Hoffman.
M Grind: Vokey’s favorite, 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. Played by Charles Howell III, Patrick Cantlay and Cam Smith.
S Grind: The S Grind features a full sole that has been narrowed by a trailing edge grind, giving it a faster feel through the turf. The S Grind is best for neutral to firm conditions and for players that like to control loft with their hands ahead or behind the ball. Played by Jordan Spieth, Adam Scott and Lanto Griffin.
D Grind: 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.
K Grind: The K Grind is the highest bounce wedge in the lineup, 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. Played by Justin Thomas, Adam Scott and Webb Simpson.
L Grind: The L Grind is the lowest bounce grind option in the mix. The heel, toe, and trailing edge relief allow for maximum greenside versatility. The L Grind is perfect 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. Played by Jordan Spieth, Jimmy Walker, and JT Poston.

SM8 Grinds: The Heart and 'Sole' of Versatility
Your swing is unique and requires a unique wedge. Master Craftsman Bob Vokey has spent years crafting, developing, and improving his Tour-proven sole grinds to fit players of all levels.
Maximum Spin - Ultimate Control
SM8 grooves are cut to the edge to maximize spin and shot control. Each groove on every head is 100% inspected for conformity, and a localized heat treatment is applied to the impact area to double the durability of the groove.
Technology
Progressive Center of Gravity
SM8 features a reimagined progressive center of gravity, which produces the most accurate and forgiving Vokey wedge yet. Using tungsten weights and varied hosel lengths, the Vokey R&D team has moved the CG outside of the wedge head and placed it in front of the face, resulting in increased MOI and exceptional feel.
For the golfer, this means optimized ball flight and a club face that simply wants to square up at impact. SM8 accomplishes all of this while preserving the classic Vokey head shape players demand.
Spin Milled Grooves
SM8 wedge grooves are meticulously engineered through a proprietary Spin Milled process to maximize spin and durability. The process starts by cutting the face perfectly flat with a high speed saw. Then every groove is individually cut based on loft and finish; low lofts (46°-54°) are designed with narrower, deeper grooves, while higher lofts (56°-62°) have wider, shallower grooves.
Micro-grooves are individually cut in between grooves, which maximize spin on partial shots. A proprietary heat treatment is applied to the impact area which doubles the durability of the groove without impacting feel making it the most durable groove in golf. The process is only complete when every groove on every wedge head is 100% inspected for conformity to the rules of golf.
