MULTIPLE CHOICE

SM9 wedges offer several loft, grind and bounce combinations

Titleist’s Vokey SM9 wedges help golfers improve in the three areas that Master Craftsman Bob Vokey says are key to great wedge play. Those include shot versatility, distance and trajectory control, and maximum spin. To get the job done, the SM9 offers the ultimate in optionality with Titleist’s most complete lineup of loft, grind and bounce combinations.

Versatile, accurate, and forgiving, the SM9 is available in six grind options and 23 different models ranging in lofts from 46-62 degrees for precision fitting. “It sounds simple, but having the correct wedge and knowing when to use it has a direct impact on scoring,” said Vokey. “

The most important thing for golfers at every level is to know when and where to use the variety of wedges in their bag. That can be achieved by being properly fit based on swing and style of play, and understanding the roles for each.” The SM9 also features sharper grooves in the club face for maximum spin, along with finish options such as Tour Chrome, Brushed Steel, and Jet Black.
