Vokey Signature Series wedge now available in very limited quantities

Published

on

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)

He played on the Hawaii Pacific University Men's Golf team and earned a Masters degree in Communications. He also played college golf at Rutgers University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

    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.

GolfWRX Members Choice presented by 2nd Swing: Best driver of 2025

Published

on

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
