Titleist Vokey SM5 Wedges: In-hand pics of all grinds and finishes

[MJisGOAT]

Great stock options.

Great photos!

[jjl]

i wonder if all the different grinds and finishes available will confuse some potential customers. also, won't these take away sales from their Wedgeworks department?

[mr_divots]

Glad I waited to see these before pulling the trigger on TVD's. Look great.
Press release I got said 7% groove volume increase on the 56 lofts and up I believe. I'm assuming that is over the SM4's?

Only wish companies would just max out the grooves already to the new allowable dimensions instead of stringing people along 7% at a time... thanks, USGA.

I actually think all the different grinds are more clear to the consumer this year than ever before. They used to just have the loft and bounce on their wedges but now they actually list the grind as well, making it very easy to know what grind you're looking at and find out more info on what each grind does via their website or information in the store. Also, they rely on these wedges for most of their sales. They started the TVD's as a more expensive option for people willing to pay for it, but they're definitely not concerned that these will take sales away from the TVD sales. And WedgeWorks should have plenty of work to do, since you can get all the same custom stamping/grips/shafts/shaftbands/etc. on their retail SM5 wedges as you can on the TVDs.

Does anyone know the release date? Looks like chrome and black nickel? I was hoping they would have a raw option.
[/quote]

Release is 3/14/14. There is no Black Nickel finish anymore. The black wedges shown are the new Raw Black finish, which would be the raw option you're looking for. I know it's black but the finish will wear off (or be taken off) easily. They replaced the Black Nickel with a new Gold Nickel which I don't know if it's pictured here or not.

[phi482]

Any mention when the TVDs will get the new grooves. I will be ordering the 56/60 K grinds soon.

[NHauss]

No offset, me likey.

Not sure about the K, the sole looks reaally wide...

[stage1350]

If the 54 and 60 are both available in M grind, I'll be picking some up.

[getitclose]

Love, love, love that Raw Black finish! Ill take a 52.10 F and a 58.07 S or M. Question though? Will we probably have to order specific ones? I can't really see Golf Galaxy or Uinta Golf carrying ALL of the grinds/lofts.

[Backspin9]

I just got 50, 54, and 58 TVD M grinds in Brushed Chrome finish and wondering if there is any difference with these other than mine are SM4 and these are SM5. I'm glad they came out with these but thinking that paying $160 for a TVD wedge wasn't worth it. Might have to send Vokey an email on this.

[chiguy]

Looking good. The sole on the K grind looks huge!!

[WVP]

I LOVE these. Great job introducing new colors and grind options in a cleaner look.

Will eventually pick up a 54/58 in the raw black finish, though like many I will probably be confused by the grinds a bit.

[rslewis13]

As a lefty, am sad knowing 75% of these options won't be available to me.

Also, this looks very similar to what Nike came out with last year.

[newportbeach]

It will be interesting to read the details about the grinds and what they are specifically designed to do.

[shankman92]

52F and 58S in chrome PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

[/quote] All the sm4's were available lefty with the exception of the black nickel finish I'd expect the same in the sm5's although we probably won't get gold nickel.

[Night train]

I've never been a Vokey guy...........but I tried a 60* K grind last year and it is very very good. One of the best out there.

Hope you're right, except for the gold nickel. If they're going to leave one out, would prefer they leave out the black. The gold nickel looks great.

[scratchswinger]

I will be interested to see what the TVD and Hand Grind options are for 2014.

[/quote] If they were to leave any out it would be the gold nickel. Vokey usually gives us lefties one plated and one raw, so gold nickel is the odd one out which I'm happy about as i prefer a raw wedge (black)

[Pert1862]

i actually had money in my bank account before i joined wrx! thanks for these pics.

[dwboston]

The K grinds are the real deal. I picked up 56* and 60* TVD-K wedges last year and they are phenomenal out of the sand. The soles look really wide in the photos, but not so much in person.

Outside of some custom finishes or adding bullet grind to an existing sole, there isn't much to do aside from stamping, shafts, and grips.

I could honestly care less about the finish. Just give me the L grind in 52 and 56 and T grind in the 60 low bounce options and I am done. I have been looking to replace my Scratch wedges which have seen better days. With Scratch not really making any lefty wedges anymore I have been on a quest to find wedges that have similar grinds and bounce options to what I have now and available lefty to no avail. These could be it. Anyone know the price point of these?

[Jeckert07]

Is the 2nd pic (46.08 F Grind) gold nickel finish?

Finish, stamps and grinds are what interest me.

[baylorlefty]

I like the clean lines.

[/quote] Well no one can get those lofts with those grinds so we're all SOL, I got the L on my 60 and it's great the low bounce isn't super forgiving tho, may try out the M and even the K in the sm5's

[sixtysevensixtyseven]

I'm diggin the matte black finish.

[SC-TX 88]

It's a little disappointing they are getting rid of the 56.08 option. Last time I was at a titleist wedge fitting they told me this was one of the most popular combos.
