Are these the new Titleist Vokey SM8s?

[mmack067]

I wasn’t sure about these when the first photos came out but those black ones are so clean.

I really like the look of these. Is the middle finish the gray they have been using recently or is it more of a bronze finish?

I was wondering the same. I loved the grey finish on the SM6 it was fuller than the shiny grey of the SM7. I can’t quite tell what finish this is. Grey..bronze?

It almost looks like the same bronze finish that the SM5 wedges had.

Not my favorite aesthetically, too modern for me, but not a deal breaker. Any more info on them?

 

Are they expected to be put in play on tour next week?

Lofts? Bounces? Grinds?

Not available until the spring?

Raw finish still WW only? Same availability as the non-WW models?

agreed - black ones make the set

Agreed, lots of room to customize which seems to be increasing in popularity the past few years

Disappointing looks. May go with SM7, or switch to Mizuno, Ping.

[HappyGilmore22]

I really like the black finish (chrome is ok and bronze is just bad) but don't get why they didn't make the 8 white. It looks really bad with just SM in white. Otherwise I really like the look of the black finish but not sure I will buy them with newish black SM7s. More than likely I'll have the itch to buy something in the spring so they'll probably end up in the bag.

Let’s not get worked up about what the wedge looks like from the back. What’s more important is how the leading edge sits and if we will finally get a low bounce k grind available in the standard options instead of it only being an overpriced limited release

The only thing that will keep me from all Mizuno wedges next year is if the low bounce K 60* comes back.

First thing I thought of was the new Jaws. Everything in a neat straight line where the sole meets the cavity.

Oil Can would be nice other than Wedge Works only but greed trumps all. Cant believe Titleist pulled Oil Can over brushed steel or jet black

The Glide 3.0 have too much of a rounded leading edge that kept catching my eye but its subjective.

The best players in the world only care about results, yet the 10 caps are more concerned with how their bag looks.

which interview? he has a few out there

You mean more like 20 caps. They also need 420cc pear shaped drivers because the 460cc drivers that Rory and DJ use don’t fit their eye.

[agood3putt]

Anybody got anymore info on these?

[links242]

Not a fan of these at all.

 

[vman]

Can't understand why people don't like these.....are we really just talking the back of the club? Surely it's about the grinds, playing positioning and feel with a wedge. Anyway they look good to me.

[titleless_30]

yaaaaa looks like the sm7's will be getting ordered

[agood3putt]

I'm starting to wonder if the pictures leaked are actually what the SM8's will look like. I guess only time will tell

[Florida Gator]

They don’t look bad to me, but at the end of the day I’m sure I’ll have at least one of them in the bag once my 58 deg SM7 grooves wear out. The 46/50/54 degree wedges make it 4+ years in the bag, it’s always the 58 that’s replaced at least every 2 years.

 

For what it’s worth, couldn’t care less what the back of it looks like, just hoping for a low bounce K to save me 6 hours of screwing around with regrinding the sole.

[Bebsport678]

This will at least decrease the price of all the SM7s for 2020 ?

[Deluxe186]

agreed these are gross

Finding good pics of how clubs look at address seems to be very difficult most of the time. Lots of folks seem more interested in the hood ornament than what's under the hood many times.

[sloansav62]

Just a heads up. If you’re looking to get in on SM7s in raw they already are running out of certain grinds and not producing anymore.

[ethan380]

Thats very clean. Id love to see the wet performance.

[rwhitlock]

Looks like a nice club. I've tried Vokeys, Callaways, Clevelands, and Taylormade wedges but really can't see one is hands down better than another one. Just personal look and feel preferences, right? Not sure I want to drop $150 or more on a set of those. I'll stick with my SM6's
