I've been using a Wedgeworks 44F (42*) in place of a 9 iron over a year. 50-12F set to 48* swings better vs 48-10F. 54M as general purpose SW. 58-12D (57*) for soft sand. 60-04T and the "Phil 64". Other than distance, 60-04T and Wedgeworks 64T play identical.

60-04T is a no brainer out of wet or even coarse sand. 60-06K had been paired up with 58-12D for over 2 years because I carried a 64. Now that I've discovered the nuances, I've been pretty solid with T grind. The biggie with T vs K is flop shots and bunkers.

I've been gaming the T grind for several years but have a LBK 60 on a fedex truck headed towards me as we speak. Stoked!

I can honestly say that each iteration of the Vokey wedge line represents an improvement over previous versions. While the differences may appear subtle, the improvements are based on player feedback and real R&D. There’s a reason that they’ve been the number 1 wedge on tour … for a very long time!!

Anyone that can say that SM11 is better than the old ones?

Wedgeworks 44F

Lou G — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 01:03:58 GMT

How many here have used it. I got one used for $189 and it had an NSPro950 S. I set it up to play as a 9 iron (42*). I liked the shaft so much that I reshafted my 620CB 8 iron.

50-12F to 48* as a PW.

54-08M replaced 56-12D (54*) and 58-12D (57*) as high bounce.www.titleist.com/.../s4r2jltoymq2aif4tanm

[quote user="Sam K"]Ordered a 44 vokey to see if it would help replace my current set PW. Was wondering if you are using the same shaft as your irons or if you are using the same wedge shafts?

I have a DG 115g Wedgeflex to match the shaft weight of my 8 iron.

Vokey fitting

Jaxon G — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 01:51:44 GMT

Should I get fitted for a vokey? I have been using this vokey sm10 jet black wedge for almost 2 years now. How often should I get new wedges?

Disappointed in grip change.

J22abe — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 03:19:58 GMT

Titleist, What is this garbage?... It's cheapier than stuff bought off Amazon... Tour Velvet 360 cost $7 retail... You increased the wedges to $200... And now I have to buy $7 grip on top of that?...

This is not TV, any grip for any manufacturer all say Golf Pride on the bottom. I've used nothing but Tour Velvet and Tour Velvet 360 standard for the entire 6 years I've been golfing. This feels nothing like it. The feel is totally cheapy, the rubber is thin and very soft and elastic. The Titlist stamping looks like a Temu knock off... I think a Temu knock off would be better. I've bought an 8pk of cheap amazon grips for $13 for a friend starting to golf, and those grips were 10x better quality than this dissappointment on my brand new Vokey.

When you order clubs from Titleist/Vokey, you have the choice of any grip you like. So what is the real issue here. Choice. I order free stock grips off and then put on Golf Pride MCC plus fours. Has worked for me for years.

No, the stock grip completely changed from Tour Velvet to some cheap poor quality generic grip. That's the issue.

RE: Old Wedges vs Newer Wedges

Barry M — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 21:45:16 GMT

[quote user="Dale V"]Interestingly enough, the newer wedges, SM11 in particular, are designed to reduce spin in the lower lofted wedges but retain spin in the high lofted ones. Too many elite players were having trouble hitting shots that stayed close to their landing spots. They did not want a wedge than spun back off the greens. It looks cool but the best players want just enough spin to stay close to their landing spot.

Not just elite golfers Dale. I too have trouble hitting shots that stay close to the landing spot. But for me it's the INTENDED landing spot.

Old Wedges vs Newer Wedges

NorthTXTitleistGuy — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 18:29:13 GMT

Good day everyone, I love golf and absolutely everything that goes with it. Short game practice and on the course is my favorite part of the game.

I think I mostly understand why it is suggested to replace wedges more often these days, they essentially wear out the grooves causing less spin and control. That would be my first question - if that is in fact the full story.

I also wonder about the difference in older wedges vs the newer ones. I feel like my older Vokeys never really wore out or lost spin. So my second question is about the way they are made; is it a softer metal these days or something else that makes them basically wear out faster?

Lastly, is it possible to regroove either the older or newer wedges and have them perform like new again? And is it conforming to USGA and other governing bodies?

Thank you for your inputs and guidance.

David

So the issue is the price of the club increased but the stock grip is still unchanged over the years? Regardless of the price of a club, I’ve always replaced the 360 as a personal preference. Either on order or after delivery.

I’ll guess you can order wedges (not authentic Vokey) from Temu for under $200 . As well as running shoes for less than what I pay for New Balance. Everyone sees value in different ways.

RE: Old Wedges vs Newer Wedges

Don O — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:45:48 GMT

Re-grooving is not permitted under USGA rules in sanctioned events. Hand milling may increase spin, but by how much? It would be a lot easier to just find a gently used wedge than try to re-grove. IMHO.

Loss of spin is gradual over more than 100 rounds. So what might have been 9000 rpm’s may be 6000 rpm’s now. This may be fine for many players. If optimal spin is important, find access to a unit that can measure spin - where you can compare it to a fresh wedge. Serious players like tour pros will replace some of their wedges as often as every month.

The other component is the ball. There is no ionomer ball that will spin like a tour level urethane cover. Replacing wedges every 75 rounds is not needed for ionomer covers.

Seldom hit full swings with mine; it is around the greens and sometimes from bunkers. Wedge selection is 48 F, 54 M (with older 54 D if I know I am playing a course with softer, fluffy bunkers that won't plug and/or has rained and softened around the greens), and a 60 M. These allow me to hit a variety of shots from lots of different circumstances, and they fit with my shallower attack angle.

RE: Whats your favorite grind on your 60?

Lou G — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 04:27:27 GMT

I like 58 better than 60. 5 yards more carry and a little more roll. 58-06K all around LW. 58-12D (57*) for fluffy sand.

RE: SM10 F or K or D Grind Sand Wedge

Lou G — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 03:38:40 GMT

As shown in my thumbnail is an 11 club carry bag. Wedgeworks 44F being used as a 9 iron. 48-54-57-58. F grind picks the ball better off a tight lie vs D grind. Using a 56-14F set to 54*. 58-12D set to 57 is good for fluffy bunkers. 58-06K is a pretty universal lob wedge.

I put my Dad's Apex 8 & 9 irons in to close the gap and pull the 44F. I also have a 56-12D set to 54* for a "10 club challenge." 13 clubs includes a PM
Grind 64/10

SM10 F or K or D Grind Sand Wedge

Mike A — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 13:25:00 GMT

Vokey confuses me, need help. K grind is supposedly ultimate bunker club but not offered in 54* which is listed as sand wedge. F grind is most played sand wedge on tour but listed as best for full shots. My online wedge fitting recommends D grind. I need a 54 sand wedge with some versatility.

What club upgrades in order to upgrade my golf bag?

Keep stats like fairways hit, putts taken, and know your average distance with whatever you use between drive and wedges. Attack your weak points with a qualified fitter and possibly a teaching instructor. No sense in jumping to driver that hits 10 fairways and you consistently 3-4 putt most greens.
Finding the right wedges including grind is also a special fitting, as well.
