Obviously, where this is most evident is with drivers, where through the use of technologies like moveable weights and adjustable shafts, the golfer can fine tune the club to their swing. Wedges are now starting to follow suit. While there are any wedges with an adjustable shaft or a movable weight (yet) more and more companies are offering a greater variety. Instead of just four or five loft options mixed in with a couple of bounce options, companies are going to more lofts with a greater variety of bounces and grinds.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nWith the new Vokey SM6 wedges, there are a total of 9 different loft options (everything from 46\u00b0 to 62\u00b0 in 2\u00b0 increments), with each option except the 62\u00b0 coming in at least 2 two (and some up to 4) different bounce options. In all, there are 21 different combinations of loft, grind, and bounce to choose from, meaning that there is likely a set of wedges to fit your game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/b\/imgs\/clubs\/titleist_vokey_sm6_cg_locations.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[sm6]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"flush left\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/clubs\/titleist_vokey_sm6_cg_locations.jpg\" alt=\"Vokey SM6 Wedges - CG Locations\" width=\"490\" height=\"345\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Many may think that these are essentially just the same wedge bent to whatever loft is stamped on the bottom of the club, however, that is not the case as there are significant differences between the pitching\/gap wedges, the sand wedges, and the lob wedges. In the lower lofted wedges (46\u00b0-52\u00b0), the clubs feature a low center of gravity. The SM6 sand wedges (54\u00b0 and 56\u00b0 models) have a mid center of gravity, and the lob wedges (58\u00b0, 60\u00b0, and 62\u00b0 models) have a high center of gravity. With the center of gravity being progressive though the wedge set, the CG is aligned with he impact position of each loft. This produces precise distance and trajectory control and adds to the feel that Vokey wedges are known for.<\/p>\n<p>The SM6 wedges also come in five different grind options (although not every grind is available for every loft). The grind options are the L Grind (for shallow swing types and firm conditions), M Grind (shallow or neutral swings and firm or medium conditions), S Grind (neutral or steep swing types and medium or \u00a0soft conditions), F Grind (all swing types, all conditions), and K Grind (neutral or steep swing types and medium or soft conditions). The new wedges uses the company&#8217;s TX4 grooves and feature a new parallel face texture. This texture helps create a more consistent groove edge resulting in more spin. In addition to the multiple loft\/bounce\/grind options, there are three color options: tour chrome, steel grey, and jet black.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/b\/imgs\/clubs\/titleist_vokey_sm6_family.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[sm6]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"flush left\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/clubs\/titleist_vokey_sm6_family.jpg\" alt=\"Vokey SM6 Wedges\" width=\"490\" height=\"542\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While the clubs aren&#8217;t available to purchase yet, you can head to your local golf shop to demo them now and to get fit.
