Titleist to release Vokey SM7 Wedges in Slate Blue finish
Titleist has announced that its Vokey SM7 wedges are to be released in a Slate Blue finish from January 31.
The new finish on the SM7 Slate Blue wedges is applied like a standard PVD finish, but according to the company, the finish contains a unique material and involves a time-intensive process, the combination of which provides a finish that will possess maximum durability.
Speaking on the addition of the State Blue finish to the SM7 wedge range, master craftsman Bob Vokey stated
“Very often wedge finishes can be beautiful, but they won’t last. At the same time, the most durable finishes often aren’t stunning. Slate Blue combines the two. Not only will golfers love their wedge when they see it in the shop, the finish will last through the course of normal play.”
As with all of the Vokey SM7 range, the State Blue is available in 23 loft, bounce, and grind options for both right and left-handers.
The stock set-up for the Vokey SM7 State Blue features a Nippon Modus3 125 shaft and custom BV Wings New Decade Multi-Compound Black Grip. However, the wedges will also be available for customization on Vokey.com.
The Vokey SM7 State Blue hits retail stores on January 31 and will cost $199.99.

The TaylorMade Golf P7CB irons just dropped last week and we’re excited to get them on this week’s Three Swing Challenge to see where they stand among the other irons we have tested thus far.
Why three swings?
Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf, told us this:
“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2, and discounted No. 3, because the player was starting to adjust.”

Just release the raw version, and stop messing with these stupid, so called cool finishes
We want RAW

Huh? They have had the raw version available for a long time via Vokey.com…. Dr. Google is your friend…

You are correct and I have 3 of them via Wedgeworks (they cost me $200 each…). I just want Vokey to provide Raw to retail like they did many years ago. Extra $ for no finish is a tad cheeky to say the least

Wedges cost $150 or more for Mizuno, TM, Ping, Cobra, and Titleist. The forged Pings cost $200. I don’t see a problem with the pricing of these wedges. The cost of clubs will only continue to rise. Try it in the store, buy it on eBay for less.

“the finish contains a unique material and involves a time-intensive process” … this is Vokey’s go-to line to charge significantly more money for something. Of course this finish contains a unique material, that’s what makes it blue instead of a different color. The process isn’t any more time-intensive than any other finish either. However, if Vokey didn’t say that, then he couldn’t charge his $200 for it…

Is the Nippon Modus3 125 the same shaft that’s stock in other Vokey SM7s?

$200 for a wedge? No thank you. It looks nice, but it’s no more functional than any other Vokey model created in past years.
