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)

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.

Looks like it’s a collector’s edition.

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.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
