Titleist’s wedge team, led by master craftsman Bob Vokey, believes there are three keys to great wedge play: shot versatility, distance and trajectory control, and maximum spin. All three have been addressed in Vokey’s latest creation, the SM10.
The high majority of golfers pay little attention to the bounce or grind of their wedges, in part because they simply lack the knowledge of what these two things are, how they are different and why they are a vital aspect of the wedge-selection process.
After more than two decades in the business, wedge wonder Bob Vokey continues to make headway along the cutting edge of golf club design. Here, he speaks to Australian Golf Digest about his career, and what’s next in wedges.
What started off as a hobby for Bob Vokey, quickly developed into a passion and later, a legend. The 76-year-old sat down with AGD editor-in-chief BRAD CLIFTON recently to talk about life as a leading wedge designer, the best short-game players of all time and why the new Vokey SM6 will change the game.
