Equipment
Vokey Signature Series wedge now available in very limited quantities
When PGA Tour players make their way overseas to play in the Open Championship, they often make equipment changes — such as different wedge grinds — in order to adjust to links-style golf. This process is something Titleist’s Master Craftsmen Bob Vokey knows plenty about, because when he first began with the company, he would prepare prototype wedges for different courses and conditions to test on the range, according to Titleist.
On July 13, Titleist is releasing Vokey Signature wedges, which carry on the tradition of building wedges for particular conditions; these are built for links-style play. Only 25 total wedges will be available, but each of them have been hand ground by Bob Vokey himself.
“I put on my gloves, took an oversized part, and put all of my years of experience into this wedge,” Vokey said. “A little M Grind, a bit of T, some V Grind along with a pre-worn leading edge.”
Here’s a look at Bob Vokey grinding the wedges himself.

The Vokey Signature wedges will feature the companies newest technologies, including Progressive Center of Gravity for distance and trajectory control, and TX4 grooves for more spin and ball control, as seen in its new SM6 wedges.
Each of the 25 available wedges will have 60 degrees of loft with 6 degrees of effective bounce. The sole grind has a “crescent shape, with heel, toe and trailing edge relief,” according to Titleist, and the leading edge has a pre-worn look. Bob Vokey also added a “pro channel” in the sole, which is said to allow the leading edge to enter the turf in firm conditions, but prevent digging on softer surfaces.
Update: Vokey Signature Series wedges have sold out.
The wedges are available at Vokey.com for $400 each, but not for long. Specs below:
- Dexterity: Right-handed only
- Finish: Plated Chrome
- Length: 35 inches
- Swing weight: D5
- Custom options, no upcharge: Shaft, grip, ferrule and shaft band (Only one shaft comes with an upcharge, according to Titleist)
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Doesn’t even say forged, I would hope at that price point….but would have been a nice addition to article to be a little more detailed (type of metal) …..if cast, total scam…next wedge line should be “smh” rather than sm7

Won’t help your game but your wallet will feel lighter. Maybe it’ll help with the hip rotation.

For $180, buy an Edel – leading edge is rounded and low to ground, bounce is in front, then levels off, lots of trailing edge, toe and heal relief in trapper and driver grinds. But find what fits you.

Silly money for a cast head. Just sold my SM6 as it felt awful and was very poor on anything less than full shots.

What a waste of money. Amazing there are enough idiots out there for this to sell out in one day.
