Vokey Design has introduced a new, limited-edition Black Vapor finish on its SM10 wedges, bringing a premium black look to the PGA TOUR’s most played wedges.
The new Titanium Carbide Vapor finish is applied through a PVD treatment for maximum durability, and an FPP coating creates a smudge-resistant effect on the clubhead.
Completing the SM10 Black Vapor setup is a custom black and silver Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord grip with BV Wings, a Dynamic Gold Onyx shaft and a BV Wings Black Vapor shaft label.
“A player has to love their wedge when they look down at it, and finish plays a key role,” said Master Craftsman Bob Vokey. “Having confidence in your wedge at address is hugely important.”
All 27 loft, bounce and grind combinations in the Vokey Design SM10 line, in both right and left-hand models, can be ordered with the Black Vapor finish through custom, in addition to a selection of loft, bounce and grind combinations available in stock.
PERFORMANCE & TECHNOLOGY
Vokey SM10 wedges now feature 27 different loft, bounce and grind combinations to fit a variety of swing types, styles of play and course conditions. Playing the right wedge helps golfers achieve proper turf interaction and find the optimal strike position (grooves 2-5), resulting in a lower, more consistent flight with higher spin.
PROGRESSIVE CENTRE OF GRAVITY
Vokey Design SM10 wedges feature optimised, progressive CG positions to achieve precision in distance and trajectory control. In the 46-52-degree models, the CG is lower for a better transition from the iron set and more consistent distance gapping.
The CG is also pushed out closer to the centre of the face, helping to eliminate excessive draw movement and provide a more solid feel, based on tour player feedback and testing. In lofts 54-62 degrees, the CG is moved up and forward, which provides a lower trajectory and a squarer face at impact. Loft-optimised CG allows for more consistent, controlled flight, better feel and tighter dispersion from the top end to the bottom end of a player’s wedge setup.
MAXIMUM SPIN
Vokey’s patented Spin Milled groove cutting process provides a scoreline that delivers higher, more consistent spin, wedge after wedge. Vokey SM10 wedges feature TX9 grooves that are individually cut based on loft and finish: the grooves on the stronger lofted wedges (46-54°) are cut narrower and deeper, while the higher-lofted wedges (56-62°) feature wider and shallower grooves.
A parallel micro-texture between grooves helps maximise spin on partial shots, and a high frequency heat treatment is applied to the impact area, doubling the durability of the groove edge compared to untreated grooves.
PERSONALISATION & CUSTOM OPTIONS
Vokey Design SM10 wedges feature a modern, clean look, which provides a canvas for customisation. The WedgeWorks custom options include:
• Eight unique toe engravings
