If the release timeline stays the same, they should be released in March of 2018. Rumor is there is a raw option coming to retail.

Don't say this. I just put three new SM6's in the bag :mellow:

 

Nothing is confirmed on the raw option, but I hope it's true. And you have 8 months between now and then - plenty of time to need a new set.

I think with the last two releases, SM5 and SM6, they have been out on tour for the Las Vegas tournament, the Shriners or the Justin Timberlake or whatever it is actually called these days.

 

They are then typically released at the end of March to the public.

I've given up hope that we'll see raw as a stock retail offering from any wedge manufacturer. They've all tried it and clearly have the sales numbers to tell them it's not it's worth it. The reality is that the average golfer doesn't want to buy a wedge that's started rusting. The Nike wax coating from the Engage wedges was a cool solution, but that didn't work in the market either.

 

Equipment aficionados on WRX don't make up a large segment of the golf equipment buying market. So, since there is limited demand, we're going to pay a premium for the limited supply that's made available. I'm just thankful we still have the option to buy wedges with finishes that can be stripped at home without too much effort.

Hopefully the brushed copper finish will be available. I have the limited edition release with that finish and it's amazing -- it was beautiful out of the box, and it keeps looking better and better as the copper starts showing through wear.

Still using two SM4's and an SM2 until they produce a worthwhile replacement. COUGH COUGH oil can COUGH COUGH....

 

 

Same here, I stocked up on some "new" SM4's in the oil can finish at the beginning of the year. Love the shape and how that finish can be stripped sooo easily producing a great wearing raw finish.

If there's raw and low-bounce K they can swipe my card now. I had that sole on my 2014 Cold Forged and it was absolutely amazing!

Add me to the SM4 raw club. I barely played this season so I still got two more years with these

I'm shocked at what some golfers will spend money on...$250 per wedge...gheesh?!

 

They can be had for much less. I just got 3 SM6 Raw for $175 a piece. Is it more than standard? Yes, but I don't have mess with stripping them.

Tell me why guys strip them? Look, feel, spin? Do they wear better groove wise and can they be reconditioned...err...new grooves? Do you practice with "range" set?

I don't think the performance is really any different with raw wedges compared to those with a finish, but some people (myself included) prefer the look of a raw wedge

I miss the raw finish I had on my Cleveland wedges back in my junior days. I can't justify dropping the cash for the vokey raw versions these days so I'm still rocking my sm4s as of right now. Perhaps I'll finally make the plunge for a new set of they make a raw sm7 for retail. That would be sweet!

I bough sm6s earlier this year. If they come out with raw I'll buy new ones, if not I'll just keep the ones I have. I think playing 25-30 rounds a year I can keep wedges 2-3 years without issue.

 

That's all you get to play?! I feel bad for you man.

Demanding career, I really have to prioritize golf to even play that much!
