THE WIZZARD OF WEDGES is back with yet another new creation. Titleist wedge designer Bob Vokey has now created the SM8 wedges.

These wedges are now in the hands of Titleist staff players, and PGA Tour members as of this week at the RSM Classic at Sea Island Resort in Georgia. Vokey Wedges are the most played wedges on the PGA Tour since 2004, according to Titleist.

  THE NEW SM8 VOKEY WEDGE

Vokey and top assistants Aaron Dill, along with Kevin Tassistro are at the RSM Classic, working with the players, and making sure they have the specs they need on the new SM8 wedges, if they put them in play.

The wedges have come on line, after months of preperations and testing.

The orginal prototypes have been well received by tour players.

Titleist.com and Titleist social media channels will have more announcements on the SM8 wedges, and a release date to the public in the weeks ahead.
