The next generation of Titleist's Vokey wedges have been released with the unveiling of the SM11 

BY BEN KARPINSKI​​​​​​​ 

'Everything starts with contact,' says Corey Gerrard, the Titelist Director of Marketing for Vokey Wedges. 'The right bounce and grind help you find a clean strike between grooves two and five. Nail that, and the flight and spin follow – lower, more controlled trajectories with the stopping power great wedge players depend on. That's built into every Vokey wedge.'


The man whose name is attached to Titleist's famous wedges is Bob Vokey, a Canadian who moved to the USA in 1964. He's known as a master craftsman and has dedicated a career to wedge performance. 'Wedges need to be versatile, and every player is different. It's never one size fits all for wedges. That's why we have many grind options. There is a wedge for every player,' he says.

VOKEY ON TOUR

In 2025 Vokey wedges accounted for 56 percent of all gap, sand and lob wedges played on the PGA Tour. Players using at least one Vokey wedge won 26 PGA Tour events in 2025, including the PGA Championship and The Open Championship. Six of the top 10 players in the official world golf rankings at the end of 2025 were using a Vokey Design sand and lob wedge.

RANDOM REVIEWS

'The Vokey SM11 is an exercise in making minor refinements on what was already an exceptional wedge in the SM10. While the performance gains over the predecessor are subtle rather than seismic, the refined aesthetics and improved CG consistency make this the most complete and premium-looking wedge system Titleist has ever produced.' – golfmonthly.com


'If you're a higher handicapper who struggles with ball striking, you might be better off with something more forgiving like a cavity-back wedge. But for anyone reasonably confident in their strike, the SM11s are superb. If you're a decent ball striker and you get properly fitted, I'd recommend them.' – todays-golfer.com
