Vokey to release limited-edition SM5 Indigo wedges

Published

on

A limited-edition finish from Vokey puts a totally different spin on the wedge game blues. Starting July 16, golfers will be able to order certain Vokey SM5 wedges with the company’s Indigo PVD finish.

Die-hard Vokey fans might remember that the Indigo finish last appeared on company’s limited-edition 400 Series wedges in December 2013 and promptly sold out on Vokey.com

“People went crazy for them,” said Titleist Master Craftsman Bob Vokey. “We took them to the PGA Show this year and everyone was gravitating towards the Indigo finish and asking us when we would offer it in SM5. Even some of the Tour guys saw it and loved it, so we’ve decided to put out a limited release.”

The iridescent blue finish is created by plating the wedge and then treating it with an Indigo PVD. The blue color will wear away over time, particularly in the high-impact areas of the sole and club face, but the wedges will not rust.

The SM5 Indigo wedges have the same TX3 grooves as Vokey’s standard SM5 wedges, which are offered in three different finishes: Tour Chrome, Gold Nickel and Black Raw finishes. The Indigo wedges will be available in the following models:

  • 54-10 (M and S Grinds)
  • 56-10 (M and S Grinds)
  • 58-07 (S Grind)
  • 58-09 (M Grind)
  • 60-07 (S Grind)
  • 60-08 (M Grind)

The M Grind is Vokey’s original tour grind and the one he calls his “most favorite.” It has a crescent-shaped sole with a forward bounce section that helps keep the wedge moving smoothly through the turf. The heel, toe and trailing edge are also relieved to give golfers more versatility around the greens and the grind has a medium amount of camber and bounce.

The S Grind, which was inspired by Steve Stricker, has a fuller sole, moderate heel relief and a medium ribbon ground along its trailing edge.

“Steve has a shallow angle of attack, with little to no wrist action,” Vokey said. “The S Grind gives him the versatility to hit many different shots around the green, even with his neutral style. For players that like to rotate the face open, the M Grind is a very popular option.”

The SM5 Indigo wedges carry an MSRP of $185, including customization and personalization options. Buy them on Vokey.com or in select U.S. shops.

    I’ve heard from past comments in WRX columns that , in time, the will begin to rub off.

    These will probably look great. I’d never pay that much for a wedge though.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

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.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
