    Vokey Design Wedges have set the standard for flight, spin, and control for more than two decades making it the #1 wedge on Tour. New SM11 continues that legacy with refinements focused on what matters most: contact, flight, and spin.

    With SM11 now available through Titleist golf club fittings and at golf shops near you, and already in the bags of Team Titleist members, we wanted to create a dedicated space for real-world feedback from golfers who have either been fit for SM11 or are already gaming them.

    If that’s you, we’d love to hear your thoughts in a comment below. 

    Some thought starts to keep this discussion as valuable as possible for golfers interested in SM11:

    • What wedges did you come from, and what made you switch to SM11?
    • Any noticeable differences in flight, spin, or distance control?
    • How does the feel compare to previous Vokey generations?
    • How did your fitting influence your loft, bounce, and grind choices?
    • Any shots or situations where SM11 really stands out so far?

    Whether you’ve only experienced SM11 in a fitting or already have a few rounds under your belt, your early impressions and on-course feedback are extremely valuable for other golfers considering SM11.

    If you’re still in the research phase, feel free to follow along. For this thread, we’ll keep responses focused on hands-on experience with SM11.

    Great video and explanation. Love my Vokey wedges!
  3. I’ll break the ice. I don’t have much insight yet, but I was fitted last week for 2 SM11 wedges - 52.08 F and 56.14 F. Currently in transit. Shout out to my Titleist fitter, Matt Digiovanni. After a very long hiatus from golf ( long story), I started playing again last year. A lot has changed! I’ve been working hard on rebuilding my swing (definitely not like riding a bicycle!). When I started back into the game, I decided to just play wedges that matched my irons when I was fitted for the irons, at least until my swing mechanics came back to me enough where I could justify the upgrade.

    Here are my initial observations/comments based the fitting:

    Matt was awesome and provided good insight that complemented the Titleist fitting software. He took the time to understand my situation, what I was experiencing with my wedge play, and make the right recommendations to blend the new wedges with my iron set. He explained the rationale behind the recommended bounce and grind for each club.

    I learned a lot about my wedge swings - full, pitching and chips - and the differences in ball striking, particularly angle of descent, depending on the swing.

    The SM11 wedges felt great. I immediately noticed much more bite from the grooves. My spin rate increased significantly over my old gap and sand wedges. I also noticed that I was hitting the wedge face in the sweet spot more consistently. It was nice to confirm that with some trace golf ball material on the face of the club.

    The SM11 wedges gave me a lower trajectory that I have been seeking. Night and day difference from my old set.

    The Titleist fitting process made all of the club options so much less overwhelming.

    It was nice to establish a relationship with Matt and I look forward to being able to consult with him as my game improves and needs change.

    All in all a wonderful experience. Given my situation, I didn’t know what to expect and was a little intimidated going into it. I highly recommended the process even for a mid to high handicap player.

    I’m sure others with more experience will follow with their thoughts; I just thought I would offer my two cents.
