Vokey SM8

[produff26]

"I ordered 2 custom wedges, kinda ridiculous that they can’t even show up to the proper spec!"

 

This happened before with Callaway now with Titleist.. I dont get it. Did they think I wouldnt check? Anyway, I didnt want to go through sending them back, recheck, blah, blah, blah........So far so good.

The #1 reason why raw wedges are in 99% of the pro's bags is the ability to custom grind player's preferences. Less than 50% of the pros on the PGA Tour use wedges that are stock grind heads. I do like the non-glare finish but my PERSONAL PREFERENCE in a raw wedge is the lack of noticeable visible wear on the face and sole. After months of use with a Chrome, Brushed Steel, and Jet Black finish you will get wear patterns that are quite noticeable especially with use from sandy lies or bunkers. A Raw finish will have wear patterns as well, but the look from address is not nearly as noticeable.

I really like the sparkle wedge. You might be on to something here. Please post pics after a few rounds.

I tried the sm8's today, have never gamed vokey's and they surprised me with good feel and great feedback on chip shots. Question, I was hitting all of the lofts towards the heel. Should I have them 1 degree flatter or is it my technique that needs work?

This 100%

Well, I'm now the proud owner of an SM8 60° lob wedge.

Lost my marbles the other day at the range and destroyed my old Mack Daddy2 so I dropped into the local retailer last night and they had just received a boatload of SM8 wedges. They had three left handed 60° in stock (8, 10, 12) so I went with 10S (I don't know F all about grinds but thought it a safe bet to go with the middle one)

With my trip to the Masters cancelled I felt it a good time for some retail therapy.

Anyone notice added offset on the sm8? After hitting them at demo day alongside the mg2 and md5, I didn't really care for the leading edge this time...

Here’s how they ended up

[QuigleyDU]

I noticed and care for it.

Looks great

[Yanki01]

looks good. let us know how the finish wears over time.

Just picked up my set of raw sm8’s yesterday. Built with modus 125 wedge shafts. This is my first time playing vokey’s since sm4 and so far they are great. Will take a little adjustment period as I’ve been playing forged, low bounce wedges for the previous 4 years. What sold me during my fitting were the grinds, turf interaction and distance control from 100y and in.

Did some paint fill today

 

[wely324]

any side profile shots of the m grind and k grind in the 60 lob wedge? trying to see how the width of the soles differ and the camber.

[MizunoMade]

Ordered mine today, brushed steel in 50f,54d and 60m. All with kbs610.

I have the Milled Grind 2 in 60-LB, 54-LB, and 50-SB. I have the SM8s in 50-F, 54-S, and 60-L. I also had the SM7s in the exact bounce configurations. I have to say that I like the shape and finish of the Sm8s more than the SM7, and the thinner topline looks better. The 60 SM8 has a slightly better shape than the SM7, and is very slightly larger. Not as large as the MG2 wedges though. The MG2 wedges are larger and have more offset as a rule. The offset in the 60 is quite evident compared to the SM8. I think the leading edge of the SM8s is not as rounded, therefore, it looks like there is more offset, but looking down at the 3 wedges side by side at address, the MG2 definitely has the most. We all preferred the SM8 over all of them in appearance.

Anyone have experience of the SM8 52:08 F and 52:12 F?

I use a 52/58 combo. Today I have V-grind in 58, but will probably move to D-Grind. I love everything about V-grind, but since it’s discontinued I feel D-grind is the way to go. I love full bounce on square shots, but I must have relief since I feel very comfortable doing flop shots when needed, and use them at least once or twice per round.

I’m a digger, BUT in addition to full shots with 52 I use it for about 60-80% of all small chips around the green. Almost never use 58 except for flop shots.

Is there a big difference between the 52:08 and 52:12 when taking small chip shots around the green. The lies might be quite tight, but not links course super tight.

All feedback appreciated.

[MrShield]

Would still love some feedback about chip shots around the green when using 52:08 vs 52:12 when you have a square face.

[odshot68]

The closest thing you’ll find to a v grind is a Cleveland rtx 4 2 dot 58

[wely324]

The 50.12 has 50% more bounce, less likely to dig and will also help with keeping contact lower on the face. You will probably notice the difference of bounce the most on short pitch shots and chipping where the club is going to glide and actually bounce off the ground.

If you are steep or have more forward press on your chip shots you may want to go with the 12 degree bounce.

They're in the bag! Loving them so far

[UncleJohn’sBand]

How long did it take for you to get these?

 

I placed an order for raw through wedgeworks two weeks ago and havent heard anything about shipping yet

[NSiman17]

Ordered them through my coach at school about 3 weeks ago.

[herbert7890]

I ordered through wedgeworks on feb 27. Called yesterday to check on status and was told that it could be shipped next friday March 27 at the earliest. That literally makes it a whole month to ship an order, for those wanting to know A timeframe.

[UncleJohn’sBand]

See that is odd because I ordered 5 wedges and the 52 showed up yesterday randomly, and I ordered march 5th.

[BostonWRX]

I ordered 1 54 degree in 2/19 and still has not shipped. Now with Cali being locked down going to be a long time before I see it

[dachtor]

Tried them at a Titleist demo day at my club. Found the D grind to be awesome. Stupid easy to manufacture all kinds of shots with and really forgiving with turf interaction.

[mljones99]

Got my raw 58.08 yesterday. great looking wedge and even came with snow stamping (my club guy must have thought i needed a little flair on my wedge lol)

[SAM_PGA]

If anyone ordered custom stamping either through WW or stock grinds/finishes... they are back logged like crazy. I don't remember normal production time for customization but rep told be it's 3-4 weeks now.

[DFS PFD]

Yeah placed an order final day of pre order, prior to Cali lock down was told looking at end of April for shipping with custom stamping despite quoted 10 working day lead time. Think it's time to let AMEX cancel this one given the current unknowns.
