How big of an improvement is the SM8 over the SM7?

Mr Vokey,

Using a wide open face in bunkers, how much is too much bounce for a 58?

Thank you for always coming up with great improvements each year.

For a 12-15 handicap lefty, what are the three best lofted Vokey wedges to carry in my bag?

Presently recovering from cancer and at age 67 went from a 10 to 18 handicap. What should my wedge set up be, lost distance, thanks for making great wedges. All the Best.

Mr Vokey
What, if any, changes in grooves in the 8 over prior editions? Why?

Hi Bob! Could you please go into detail on bounce/grind combinations for different type swing arcs? Thanks in advance!

Love the new wedges. Look, feel, sound. Top notch as always.

My question to Bob is..What’s Next?! How could you possibly improve the SM8s?

My course has firm, firm bunkers with fine (think Augusta) sand. What grind/bounce would you suggest in a 58-degree wedge.

How do you decide which sole grinds deserve a retail release and which would be too niche to do so? After all, with so many options it’s hard to imagine adding anything else.

Hi Bob! What is the best shaft you have tested in your new wedges? I will have my (4) SM8’s delivered Monday and I installed KBS Tour V’s in them. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance!

What was your inspiration behind the first design?

Bob

What degree wedge and grind do you recommend for a sand wedge?

Thank you

Bill

Bob,

For someone who gets creative around the green, plays varying conditions, and can't buy a wedge for each type of course condition out there, amd plays traditional lofts, what would be the best blend of high/low bounce wedges if you had to choose 3 wedges to fill the bag?

I can appreciate the new technology works through all lofts, but since the tech was developed using a 64degree wedge, is there a loft that would be considered the starting point for where the ability to square the club is best seen? I use a 58 degree SM7 which, to my understanding, puts the CG high but also further back due to the degree of loft. Is my 58 degree as susceptible to squaring issues as much as a 64 degree wedge?

I purchased a SM7 wedge recently. Why should I purchase a SM8.

Why cannot you made a D grind in a lower bounce, like 56 8 or 58 8/6

Can you get fitted for wedges indoors hitting off a mat?

I live in the PNW, courses here are damp 9.5 months of the year. Which grind for 52*, 56*, 60* would you recommend as the most universal to transition from soggy to kind soggy to kinda dry to dry to really, really soggy? Thank you so much, love all you do. You are a legend!

Bob i can only chip well with 12 degrees of bounce...am i limiting myself by only using the 12 degree... thanks

Dear Bob,

After all of these years dedicated to producing arguably the best wedges in golf. Where do you see the future of golf clubs going? We are reaching the point where our equipment is reaching the legal limits. Do you think the governing bodies will need to reassess what is allowed?

I purchased my new SM8 wedges from GolfMart in Santa Rosa on Friday AM and have hit every shot clean. Love the new design and technology, hopefully your innovation doesn't stop.

Best,
Scott
