The craftsmanship, performance and technology of Titleist Vokey Design SM8 wedges will now be available in a tour-inspired all-black configuration.

This limited release features SM8’s Jet Black raw finish enhanced with black paint fill in the logos and graphics, complemented by a Dynamic Gold S200 Black Onyx shaft and exclusive Golf Pride New Decade Multi Compound Black/Gray grip with BV Wings.

Cameron Smith, who won this year’s Sony Open playing all-black SM8’s, is among a group of tour players who prefer the Jet Black finish, which by the way, is also available in Tour Chrome, Brushed Steel and the tour-favorite Raw finish.

“I’ve been stocking more and more Jet Black heads on the Tour Van each year,” said Vokey Tour Representative Aaron Dill. “Players love the look of it, and the contrast you get when you add custom stamping and paint-fill, it just pops. Jet Black also helps players reduce glare on those really bright days. When you add in the black shaft and grip, it’s a sharp setup.”

The Limited Jet Black SM8 Wedges are also available through Vokey’s WedgeWorks for custom options which include six unique toe engravings, expanded stamping options, and custom paint-fill; along with a selection of shafts, grips, shaft bands and ferrules.

Bob Vokey reiterates that great wedge play comes from distance control, shot versatility and spin, and SM8 improves performance in all these three areas through the following key innovations.

Reimagined Progressive CG increases MOI, producing improved distance and trajectory control, better feel and a club face that simply wants to square up at impact for more consistent results.

Vokey’s six Tour-Proven Sole Grinds – F, S, M, K, L and D – allow golfers to be precisely fit for their swing type (steep, neutral, shallow), shot making style and course conditions (firm, neutral, soft).

100% Inspected Spin Milled Grooves are precisely cut a unique finish, producing maximum spin and shot control. Micro-grooves are then individually cut in between grooves to maximise spin on partial shots. A proprietary heat treated impact area doubles the durability of the groove without impacting feel, making it the most durable groove in golf.
