Improving upon the groundbreaking Progressive Center of Gravity (CG) design concept originally introduced with the Vokey Design SM8, the new SM9 pushes the envelope again -with even more innovation
The new SM9 maintains the innovative forward CG�a position that actually hovers in front of the wedge face -to produce asolid feeling wedge that squaresup at impact for more consistent results.
The CG has been raised verticallyby adding weight to the topline design, where a tapered pad at the back of the toe helps align the CG properly without being visible from the playing position.�Progressive hosel lengthsare also used to help raise the CG in the higher lofts, particularly 58�-62�.
The result is improved distanceand trajectory control, and increased stability for more consistency.
A new Spin Milled cutting processin the SM9 models�which includes tightening our allowable tolerances -produces consistently sharper grooveswedge after wedge, resulting in higher, more consistent spin.
Spin Milled Groovesare the Gold Standard in groove cutting precision -meticulously engineered and cut to the edge to maximize spin and shot control. Each groove on every head is100% inspected for conformity to the rules of golf.
Micro-groovesare individually cut in between grooves, which maximizesspin on partial shots.A proprietary heat treatment is applied to the impact area to double the durability of the groove without impacting feel �making it the most durable groove in golf.
