- −Choice of grinds and lofts can be confusing without a fitting
- −Raw finish is custom order only at a higher price

Straight-talking UK club reviews
“probably not”
Excellent grinds, bounces and fitting options as always, but the reviewer found little real change over SM8/SM9 and was baffled by the toe-ward CG shift in the gap and pitching wedges.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 4 cons− the facts
- +Class-leading 25 grind/bounce/loft options and fittings
- +New 54-degree M grind added to the lineup
- +Marginal spin gains that persist as grooves wear
- −Little tech or performance change from SM8/SM9
- −Toe-ward CG in gap/pitching wedges questionable for average slicers
- −No full-face option
For: Golfers replacing worn wedges who value Vokey's fitting and grind options over new tech
