“Groundbreaking progressive center (CG) design” 🤦🏼‍♂️

Let’s all take a deep breath. We’re talking about millimeters of space where a small amount of mass is being moved.

The marketing team is earning their $ this season.

I know, some of the terms they come up with are just crazy...But have you seen this video on the SM8 tech?  Pretty interesting!

You guys are really trying to convince me to buy that 54° D grind in Brushed Chrome with a KBS 610 Shaft, and a MCC +4 Gray Grip in my shopping cart aren’t you?

That wasn't hard...sounds like you were just waiting for someone to give you permission...you got it!!!  But then again, it's not my money. 😂

The Vokey fit tool keeps giving me the D grind in 58 or 60 as my primary fit. I wonder how much of this is new grind push vs based on feedback. 
 

Going to change some variables next time around to see if it changes. The concept is the d grind had my interest when it was announced. 

The D grind is legit. I was hesitant to make the switch from a low bounce lob wedge like the M grind but the D grind is so good around the greens from rough and bunkers and still playable off fairways

I’m really looking forward to that. My SM5 was the S grind with 7* of bounce and I found myself opening the face just to expose some more bounce. My miss with that was to dig half way to china, especially if the course was damp. I can’t wait to get out there with the D grind.

I'm looking to replace my 56-degree Vokey Design Spin Milled wedge with 11 degree bounce. Found here for reference https://www.titleist.com/golf-clubs/wedges/vokey-spin-milled. I currently use it for full and 3/4 shots from 75 yards and in as well as around the green and out of bunkers given I don't have a higher lofted wedge.

Any ideas as to which bounce & grind combo in the 56-degree SM8 would be most similar to this?

56 s grind is probably the closest to that

I put my 48F in play for the first time Friday and only had two shots with it.  But both performed exactly as i hoped.  A nice low, and spinning trajectory.  One hop and a little rollout from about. 80 to 90 yards.

I loved the D-grind in the 60* SM7 I had that @Lacassem has now.  I rarely chunked one with it, and I still felt like I could open the face with it.  It was a massive improvement for me over the S-grind I had in my older LW.  

What are you coming from and hoping to achieve with a new wedge?

I’ve used 60 10S in sm7 I think it was the same in sm6.  I have no issues with the S grind but decided to do the Vokey fit to see what it would show. It recommended 60D so before I decide if I stay with my current grind setup in sm8s or if I go with the vokey fit wanted to see what others thought and their experience were about the D

I'm still on the SM6. That's the last version where Vokey offered my bounce/grind. Is the 58/4 L grind. I see they still make it in the 60 only, but I can still find the 6's new on ebay.
