Improving upon the groundbreaking progressive center of gravity design concept initially introduced with the SM8, the new Titleist Vokey Design SM9 Spin Milled Wedges push the envelope further with even more innovation. It's clear that the SM9 is a true standout, as evidenced by the fact that it has already become the most-played wedge on Tour.
By adding weight to the topline design, where a tapered pad at the back of the toe helps align the CG properly, the SM9's raised center of gravity produces a more controlled ball flight and solid contact. The center of gravity is also forward of the face, resulting in increased MOI, exceptional feel and stability, and a club face that simply wants to square up at impact.
In addition to the new CG position, the SM9 features a new patented Spin Milled process that maximizes spin and shot control. The meticulous engineering process begins by cutting the face perfectly flat with a high-speed saw, then cutting every groove individually based on the loft and finish. Low lofts are designed with narrower, deeper grooves, while higher lofts have wider, shallower grooves. Micro-grooves are individually cut in between the grooves as well, leading to maximum spin on partial shots, a crucial element to successful greenside play. As if the performance gains weren't enough, Vokey applies a proprietary heat treatment to the impact area, doubling the groove's durability without impacting feel. In fact, the SM9 possesses the most durable grooves in golf. Finally, each groove on every head is 100% inspected for conformity to the rules of golf.
