- In today's video I will be looking at the NEW Titleist Vokey SM10 Wedges. I recently had the chance to catch up with Titleist about their new release of the Vokey SM10's and lets be honest they are the best in the wedge game, but with a release only ever 2 years I think I just wanted a bit more......

I would love to get fit for a set of Vokeys, but being perpetually skint, I will stick with my Kirkland wedges for the time being.
Great wedges for less than one Vokey
Amazing Detail, Thx
Had a wedge fitting a week ago, eagerly awaiting my new wedges to turn up. 1st ever wedge fitting, so really looking forward to using them on the course.
Vokey fails to mention that the change they make is so slight that an amateur would never notice the difference.
No. You 100% notice the weight shift on the new ones. Took some getting used to but it makes them hit so consistently
I had an SM6 60° once. It was nice, the spin was great and the true drop and stop was addictive. To replace it when I felt performance had dropped was off memory here £130 for SM8. Obscene amount of money. I went for a Mack Daddy 4 in the end, just as good, slightly less spin in my hands but £90. Titleist sponsorship of the pros is pushing prices up and up, but it's golf clubs, unless we are pros or + handicappers having all this expensive gear isn't going to make any difference.
Great content Dan. I’ve tried something different this year, moving from SM7 to the Mizuno S23 after the reviews one line last year. Not had a chance to try them on the course yet - but impressed from some range sessions over the winter.
Keep up the good work Dan.
The revolution begins....great vlog Dan
A very good review with lots of valid points. There has always been a “problem child in the Vokey range regarding ball flight. It tended to be gap wedge 50-52 degree option which was really difficult to flight down. I’m with you on not liking the idea of moving the CG to the middle of the lower lofts. I’m interested to hear how the S grind performs with the moved CG, it’s been a great grind to get the ball up in the air, but not for the lower flighted shots.
The best wedge video I've watched. Nice work.
Hi Dan. Fascinating insight into the world of wedges and refreshingly honest. Thankfully for me I’m a bit long in the tooth and lacking in ability to really benefit from all that detail otherwise I could get seriously bogged down with the numbers and spend more money than is good for me. Still very interesting and another solid review video. 👍
Whoa Dan....... that didnt take long...... nice to be able to say what you think eh? Cathartic? I have vokeys but the jet black and brushed steel dont keep their finish long........ I do like them but its a lot of money for a wedge where the finish scrapes off. I actually got slate blues. Cost more but they keep their finish. Looking forward to you pushing Hush Puppies over Footjoys..... :)
😂
I’ve played titliest wedges for years and having tested the SM10 lam sticking with my 9’s. I agree there is not enough difference to make me change. Frankly if your pro still has SM9 at a cheaper price and they can be fitted to your game it’s a no brainer. Keep up the content Dan and look forward to seeing you on the course soon.
Brilliant review as always Dan ⛳👍
Great in depth review.
My short game has always been my Achilles heel, then in the summer whilst playing in the US with my son, he passed me one of his Vokey’s to try. Oh blimey, what a difference! I immediately invested in a couple of SM9’s, then more recently, another to fit a gap above my PW. I’m not good enough to tell any difference between 9 and 10, but between Vokeys and others, night and day. If the SM9 prices continue to get discounted as a result of the launch of the 10’s I’ll buy a few more. Be great to experiment with different lofts and bounces. BTW Dan, It felt like you spoke with a bit more freedom on this one. Personally, I liked it.
I agree Dan I wish more companies would do full face grooves
Great video Dan,I've just been fit for 2 sm9,jet black,54/10 s grind,58/12d grind,I totally agree with you on the fact Titleist have not really pushed it on further,so for £40 cheaper per wedge,so happy days, amazing wedges#the best on the market👍⛳
I love my SM9’s. Just replaced my last years with a new 9 and 50 bucks cheaper. Hard to find the grinds and finish now tho.
I was on my way last year to book a fitting for Vokey wedges but I was not really sure due to I use Cleveland wedges today.
I think it is difficult to choose when you have so many good wedges, Vokey, Cleveland, Cobra, Taylor Made, PING etc.
But my wedges are needed to be change, so I really have to find a shop or retailer that have brands that i can choose between and then go for a fitting.😊
Interesting video Dan ,I’m still using sm6 wedges that have been sharpened up and are a bit battered,my gap wedge has very little bounce and does not work well on the slightly longer fairways I play on ,I thin it and thick it quite a lot and dont have much confidence .At some point I need to get fitted for for a set of 52 ,56 ,and 60 wedges ,prices are crazy these days .
Very honest video Dan. You can now say what you really think without having to worry about you sponsor
I have recently purchased a new gap wedge, but I went for a SM9 because I wasn't expecting the new SM10 to be worth the extra 40 quid. I will only buy a new wedge when the old one is worn out, even when I could have done with moving sooner from my old 52 to the new 50 (much better for gapping)
Totally agree about SM8. Still probably my favorite Vokey. Still using it in 54. And lets be honest, if you're hitting a high wafty slice with your wedge there are better options out there for you.
Great review
I'm actually buying to renew the top end of my set this year, but wanted to watch this to gain your insight, my thoughts are that there does come a point where improvements only come in micro increments, that certainly seems the case with these wedges, the nickle is nice, but it's aesthetics, the full face grooves surely would have been the biggest selling point and would have given a bit more for the price tag.
Had vokeys. SM9s and they were good wedges. Finish didn't last long on them but they are tools. Changed recently though to Clevelands and they are brilliant. Feel like they spin a ton more and feel like I have more control.
Vokey needs a 50 10 bounce...every other company has one... 8 is more for tighter conditions and 12 softer but 10 plays well in both
Still going to play my SM8’s and 9.
From SM8 to now is Vokey's final form imo. Not the highest spinning Ive found, but most consistent spin unless ball is wet. I know if I pick up a Vokey 58 I can expect to launch it at high 70s ball speed, 27-28* launch, 8500 spin, 92 carry. Can stretch it to 100 or smooth it to 80. 54D is the best chipping club ive ever had. They do all I want and nothing I don't.
Great review Dan, going to stick with my SM9's, they're bloody expensive!!!
I love my Cleveland rtx full face wedges , not forgiving but feel amazing and spin loads. Always had Vokeys but they got too expensive
Once again. Great review Have you a favorite new driver
Really interesting and enjoyable video
I’m perfectly happy with my SM9’s, I wish they’d just keep making those. Sounds like the 10’s owe more to marketing than engineering
I'd love too see you do a video comparing spin rates on wedges from different eras as I have a 25 year old set that I hit regularly so as not to wear my gamers down and my brother has a PW & SW from the original Wilson Reflex set of irons which have too be well over 40 years old and both spin the ball loads!😮
Good honest review Dan. It’s difficult being the market leader and living with the fear of losing your market share. So each year it’s blah blah buy a new model. Tiresome but the nature of the beast I guess. Shame these companies can’t be as honest as you, I think they would become even more popular if they cut out the marketing nonsense
I got these wedges with a heavier shaft the s400. Hope I don’t make a bad decision!
Sounds to me like with the cg they're bringing back sm6 technology combined with shorter hosel from cleveland a couple years back. Having said that I've played 54D in both sm8 and sm9. Good luck getting that grind out of my bag.
I own the sm9 wedges in 46, 52 and 60. My 56 was an sm6. I bought a new sand wedge in sm10 and I really don’t see any difference than the sm9. I can feel the weight in the hosel/neck area has gotten even heavier. Helps square the club face at impact. Overall, I’m really not blown away. I probably should’ve just paid a fraction of the price for a brand new sm9.
I will stick with my Nike Engage wedges thanks. I got 3 of them for £150 albeit second hand. And I would still have change for a few beers for the price of one of the new SM10 wedges
Coming from Cleveland RTX to SM10 they are very good - 50 10 55 08 60 06 64 06 to 50 F 08 55 M 08 60 T 04 is brilliant
Used to play Vokeys but switched to Cleveland. Having the right grind is important, but only when your ground conditions are high quality and consistent, which for most club golfers in the UK doesn't happen. The slight cut shot around the green is what I play, but I chose a wedge with 2* less then open it up. Most players should change their wedge 1 to 2 years, but they don't, and most I've seen don't even keep them clean, so micro grooves are a waste. The 8* bounce is mostly only good for tight lies which would probably make them unplayable in soggy UK for 5 months of the year.
Hey Dan,
I like a full face on my Lob wedge and feel vokey's are more suited to low handicappers & pro's. Fine if money is no object but personally don't see the value when I can get similar results for less outlay.
Still using 200 series raw 52 and 58. Decent clubs that get a re-grip every 6 months.
Great review ! Price is getting out of control with wedges for me.
170 quid a pop, nah!!!!!
Once again Dan great review,while vokey are meant to be the top wedges but again it might be very personal I do think they are getting very expensive .
Having said all that how often is it recommended to change wedges
Played vokey sm8 for the last 2 season
It was an okay wedge but i switch for the new season coming up this spring for the Mizuno s23
What a diference in feel and forgivness
So far so good😎
Are you going to be reviewing the new wedges from Ping & Mizuno, was going to be moving on from my SM7’s this year and would have typically gone for the SM10’s, are they still the standard or have the other manufacturers now producing just as good wedges?
The best news is SM9’s are now close to being a sensible price.
I’m a Vokey wedge player and I don’t want to play a full face wedge, I like having the toe of the wedge smooth it keeps me from hitting that dead toe shot. I also carry two lob wedges one low bounce my preferred wedge and a high bounce for soft sand.
My friend said he bought new sm6 when they came out. He is a scratch golfer. He said the same thing about the ball popping up as he said he lost 10 to 15 yards each club. Of course he got rid of those clubs and replaced them.
Really shocked at they took away the L grind and swapped it with the T grind
Prefer the look of the SM9, and even SM8. I do like the black nickel finish though. Nice addition. But I won't be in any rush to replace my SM9 lineup.
Dan, I’d like to see a comparison between the new Vokie,RTX6 and Taylormade MG4. Dry ball data and on course testing.
I will see what I can do 👍
To be honest, when I replace my current wedges, I will be looking for the cheapest as I cannot see how they can charge more for something that realistically hasn’t changed significantly. Also I have yet to see a wedge fitting offered in the my area, by any brand. I am seriously considering getting Costco wedges as at least they are lower cost for similar performance. Golf equipment is getting to expensive for little gain.
I don’t mind there not been much difference, I’m changing my sm5 60 to the sm10 so think it’s time to change. Rest of wedges are sm 9.
I use the Callaway Mack Daddy Forged wedges from 2017, designed by Roger Cleveland with Phil Mickelson's input. I think it is a myth you need max spin...my wedges are 7 years old and the ball lands and stops with in 3 feet after the bounce. I wonder if vokey wedges are a bit of a copy of the old cleveland 588 that was so popular just like the scotty newport looks like a ping answer putter..
Question If wedges require feel why are the vokeys not forged (they say it doesn't make a difference) ...but the irons for longer shots are forged...My callaway md forged are a lot softer and better feeling than any vokey I have tried
Honest review , not a massive vokey fan think it’s paying for a name prefer Cleveland’s
So no reason to upgrade from my sm9’s might look at the new Ping S159’s
My sm8 are nackerd so will be getting them
👍
I currently play the SM8 wedges
I have had them for about 125 rounds.
Do you think it is worth it to upgrade from SM8 to SM10 or save $$ and purchase discounted SM9 wedges?
Nickel's a real winner for me 🎉. I have 54,08 M from SM8 days.
I need to fill a 48 degree gap wedge in my bag. I'm getting from this video that SM9 may be a slightly better option than SM10?
Forged the look of the Japan wedges look 100 better
Swapped out my vokeys to Cleveland cbx which just performed better for me
Sticking with Cleveland, great wedges, no arrogance
The 54.08 and 60.04 in nickel are gonna look sexy in my bag this season.
I lied...got fitted and ended up with the 54-12* and 58-08* but I got the nickel part right lol
I'm not paying £170 for a wedge. Plenty of brand new older models online at half that price and less...
I use a SM7 in 50 & 56 a SM8 in 60. Should I switch to SM 10?
Possibly from SM7, maybe more with 56 & 60 👍
I have the sm9 wedges so I guess no need to get the sm10 wedges?
Only if you have worn them out Noah 👍
Can wedges even have "tech"? I just came back to golf after 20 year break and wedges seem to have been the only thing that didnt really change
Believe your conclusion that Vokeys are played by more players than any other wedge is correct. That being said, the vast majority of those players, other than professionals or accomplished players bagging Vokey wedges, realistically wont be able to strike the those wedges between the 2-5 groves your referenced. Nor will they be able to utilize the proper loft/grind that their inconsistent swing may require. Most will simply purchase a Vokey thru name recognition, failing to get a fitting. Skill level is just as important for many when choosing a wedge, so a blade style wedge often can do more harm than good. It's all about marketing then isn't it?
Tour Pros don’t pay for wedges. Maybe, just maybe, should build more to “normal” players.
Tour Pros can use the Trucks to tinker, if they have to.
Don’t like full face wedge titleist would never allow. I looking forward to 60 V grind.
Most fitters dont have a swing weight maching, dont have many shafts to test, definitely then dont have those shafts in different lengths, dont haave different grip options to try which in turn change swing weights again. You cant hit real balls at most "fitters", you cant even hit off grass!, so my question to you Dan is why bother getting fit when this is the case with 99% of "fitters"?
On soles/bounces you should be able to work out which is best suited to you yourself, I mean lets be honest in the UK, it could be rock hard ground, sloppy mud, hard compact bunkers or soft play sand bunkers and even like you were then playing off mats hahaha, pick the one that best suits you by reading about them.
I just dont understand how tech comes into play with wedges like vokeys. Its just 2 year upgrade, new finishing, maybe new grind, but ultimatly new grooves.
You can't do Titleist club reviews after they've just stopped sponsoring. Titleist made the best wedges right up until now? Cool story. Bounce has always been extremely important because it's a deciding factor in the cleanliness and positioning of the contact which is the most important thing for spin and ball flight control, even more than loft.
I still believe they do the best wedges but I wanted more
@@DanHendriksenGolf the hanging gardens of Babylon?
I'm looking forward to the Ping s159, these are actually a step backwards on SM9s in terms of design alone IMO, so not worth the investment.
Most Acushnet products are overpriced and overrated though let's be honest. From Scotty's overpriced uninteresting putters, to the Vokey wedges, the irons are overpriced and you can get better style and feels elsewhere, maybe the TSR line is the only place where they shine.
NEVER!!!! judge any club by hitting it off of carpet.
a bit too technical for me Dan.
Really?
@@DanHendriksenGolf yes. I think Lester would have edited that down to about 3 mins! Lol
Cleveland are better 😂
T24s are the best
Vokey will always be #1
Wedges heads made in China, poor quality, I would say 😊
Vokey seems to be getting a little "tired" for me. Yawn....
Ping glide are better wedges
Still to expensive for what you get I think you pay for the name not the quality I think there are better and cheaper wedges on the market
Never liked them, too heavy, not sure all the different combo's really make a massive difference. Marketing? But I'm cynical about most major manufactures these days. C Zipcore black for me, 48 52 56 and 60. And yes, I know exactly how far each one goes.....
