Vokey SM10 Wedges - 2024 Forum Review

[GolfSpy_APH]

The new Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges were released in March of this year and have been a popular addition to many golfers' bags since. We are looking for four golfers to test, review, and keep a set of Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges.

About The Vokey SM10 Wedges 

MyGolfSpy Staff member Tony Covey has a complete breakdown of the new SM10 wedges here , which is a must-read, but the shorter version is Vokey SM10 is focused on three key elements: versatility, distance control, and trajectory, and maximizing spin. The Vokey SM10 lineup has six different grind options for a total of 25 different loft, bounce, and grind options. 

This includes the M Grind that had previously only been available through WedgeWorks and T Grind that has also made its way to the retail market. The other options that a golfer must choose from are the finish, and the SM10 has three of them: Tour Chrome, Jet Black, and the new addition Nickel. 

There’s more though; the Vokey SM10 has refined the shape and CG placement to help optimize distance control and trajectory. This works in tandem with their spin-milled grooves that have groove geometry that varies depending on the loft to maximize spin for each loft.

Titleist Wedge Selector Tool 

Of course, all of this can be a lot to take in, so Titleist offers an online Wedge Selector Tool to help simplify things. It is a series of eight questions which gather various information about your current setup and game to help make the best recommendation on what setup would be best for you.

Hello again fellow spies! I am back for what I think is my 7th test for MGS.  A quick thank you to the forum and the fine people over at Titleist for the opportunity to test out the SM10s from Vokey. A few things have changed since my last test both in my work life as well as my golf game.  I am now the head golf coach at Edmond Memorial High School here in Oklahoma. 

I am also proud to say that I have pretty much unlimited access to Trackman as I co-own an indoor golf place.  Considering I now coach golf and have a golf business, I think it is finally safe to say that I am a golf addict at this point in my life. Considering I have been playing this wonderful game since my freshman year of college. The only difference now being that I am a full time teacher/coach and a full-time dad. That being said, my golf game is in a bit of a transition. As a former college athlete I desperately want to get into the competitive side of golf. For the last 2 seasons I have tried my hand at some small tournaments here in Oklahoma as well as a Ryder Cup Style event in June.

 

With tournament golf in mind going into this test here are my thoughts prior to testing.  Titelist is a brand name tied to excellence in the golf community. Vokey is one of the very reasons that Titleist equipment has such an aura about them.  It has been a wedge brand that, for most of my golfing journey, I thought was too elite for a golfer of my caliber.  I have never hit Vokey wedges before, so expect this to be a bit of a spiritual experience. 

My plan is to test in a pretty traditional sense, since I will have access to a Trackman anytime, you will probably see a lot of data. I have 10 free rounds anytime from now until the end of August at my usual course and hopefully will have the SM10s before a 4 day golf trip to Branson in June so there should be plenty of on course testing as well.  Another idea I am fond of is an only-wedges round from the front tee box.  The thinking behind this is that I would find myself in TONS of scrambling situations and in between shots that in a normal 18-hole round. The hope is that I would have to be more creative, use more of the bounce on the wedges and really get to see if they could handle that kind of shot making.

Before I sign off here is the swing currently and the handicap as it sits today: 

Looking at what Vokey and Titelist are saying about the SM10s I will be focusing on the grinds (which I hope will help me on these Oklahoma grasses) and spin.  The main point I got from reading the ads and the Titleist video was that these wedges will be scoring weapons and will allow a player to better control their ball and theoretically lead to more scoring chances. If I can feel as though I am more in control of my golf ball and get consistent performance out of the SM10s they will not leave my bag for a long time. 

 

 

All in all, I have tested only 1 Titleist product before, the TSi 3 driver.  While that test was huge, Titelist wasn’t really known for their drivers then.  So the expectations were somewhat muted.  With the Vokey SM10s however, the expectations are very high.  Vokey is a name synonymous with excellence and premium performance; I cannot wait to see if they live up to the hype. 

Fitting Experience: Kickingbird Golf Course, Edmond OK.

I was very luck to have my fitting experience with Chris Perkins here in Edmond, Oklahoma. Chris and I have known each other for several years so I felt very comfortable during the process which really helped me hit good shots lol.  Chris was even kind enough to let me interview him after the fitting for a few minutes about Vokey wedges and what sets them apart! (I will include that with my final review). 

 

Like others have mentioned we started with my current wedges and warmed up with different types of shots to different targets.  From there we moved into the fitting using the Titleist Wedge tool.  It had me hit a series of 3 shots for each setup and the app would make suggestions based on the Trackman data shown.  After the first series we went with the first suggested setup.  50 degree wedge, 8 degrees of bounce in the F grind.  After 3 shots Chris switched it out for the 12 bounce version which produced some very good shots.  He basically said that the club head wasn't exiting the ground at the proper time on full shots and that my delivery would need more bounce, thus the 50 degree with 12 degrees of bounce became my fitted club. 

Next we went into the full/partial shots with the 54 and the 58.  I don't want to mess with a 60 as I find it hard to hit sometimes.  We did the same process except this time, Chris went with the Trackman/wedge tool for the first 3 shots but the remaining 9 shots he simply watched my delivery and impact.  This is where I think a trained eye makes such a difference as Chris was able to utilize technology to confirm what he was seeing. This is also the part of the fitting that I noticed the biggest difference between the vokey SM10s and my current wedges (more on that to come). Essentially, this was a very fun expereience where I learned ALOT.  My final setup that will be ordered is as follows: 

I cannot wait to get these in my hands and get going on exploring the Vokey brand!!

Snoop79 Bio:

As I read through the notifications on my phone I suddenly did a big fist pump and proclaimed “Let’s go!!!” which subsequently startled my wife in the other room. That was my reaction to finding out I was one of the testers for the Titleist Vokey SM10 Wedges. Sorry, not sorry lol. 

Hi everyone! My name is Mike Beagles aka @Snoopy79 and I am honored and excited (obviously) to be one of the testers. A huge thank you to MGS and all the moderators who set up these tests and all the support they provide.

A little about me, I am 44 living in SW Ohio with my wife and teenage son. I signed up with MGS almost 1 year ago when I got back into golf. Prior to that I had about an 8 year hiatus while my son was young, I was traveling a lot for work, and taking care of our new house. A friend invited me to attend The Memorial PGA tournament and after this I was hooked again. I work from home which provides me a great work/life balance and affords me the opportunity to enjoy the things that matter to me with my family and friends. In addition to golf I love to bowl (mostly in the winter), go fishing, hiking, and watch minor-league baseball games.

 

Now let's talk golf! I consider myself an average golfer mid-handicapper with a tenacious drive to get better. I broke 90 regularly last year so while I am not strong in all areas, I can move the ball fairly well. It’s funny, prior to my hiatus I played a fair amount of golf, but never took it that seriously. Now I am obsessed! I devour everything golf; equipment articles, instruction, lessons, YT video, PGA, podcasts, etc. I am really learning more about this great game everyday and practicing as much as I can. My wedge play is okay. This year I have a plan for intense focus on this part of my game.

My golf swing 7-iron

Swing Info (will update soon)

• Driver swing speed avg: 100mph
• 7-iron swing speed avg: 87
• Swing type: Smooth
• Typical ball flight with iron/wedge: medium height w/ slight left to right…sometimes too much!
• Casually obsessed golfer with competitive aspirations. 

So what’s the plan for this test?

Believe it or not I have never hit a Vokey wedge before this test. It’s true. Until just a few days ago a friend of mine let me borrow his SM9 52 degree while I was traveling. It was an interesting experience.

I am going into this test with the following goals that will contribute to this overarching question, “Will custom fit Vokey SM10s help to measurably improve my short game, allowing me to score better?”

• Learn about the Vokey pedigree and all technology in the SM10 & what does a wedge fitting look like?
• How much spin can I get with the SM10? (full swing, partial swing, around the green)
• Will I gain strokes in my short game with SM10s vs. my current gamers?

What about you MGS nation? What types of tests & questions do you want me and the other testers to think about? I want to involve you as we take on this journey so please share if you have some thoughts.

That’s it for now, spies! Stay tuned to this thread!!

Intro

[MIGregB]

I want to thank My Golf Spy and Titleist for this tremendous testing opportunity! I can’t tell you how excited and nervous I am to bring you an informative test that you find valuable and maybe even entertaining.

Me, my wife, my oldest son & his family

Both sons, middle & right, & a friend at 2002 WM Open

A bit about myself. I’m retired from the IT/Engineering consulting industry where I spent the last 30 years of my working life. I’m married to my wife of 53+ years, with two sons and three grandchildren. My wife and I live in SE Michigan, with a summer home on a small lake in mid-Michigan, but our kids live in Phoenix and Long Beach. You’d think with those warm weather connections that I’d get to play a lot of winter golf. But the reality is that we only spend about 4 or 5 weeks a year out west during the colder months, and we spend most of that time with the kids/grandkids since we don’t get to see them often enough. That means that I only get 2 or 3 rounds in while out there.

2022 WM Open, that's Hideki in the background!

But for my 70th birthday, my youngest son treated me to a week-long pass to the 2022 WM Open in Phoenix. It is quite a spectacle!! 

Full disclosure: This is a general pic! I've misplaced the one with me, but I'll find it!

One very memorable round out west, though, was at Torrey Pines. I admit that I didn’t expect to have a great round my first time out, I just hoped to not have a bad round. Unfortunately, it was closer to a terrible round. But it is a beautiful course!

I’m in my early-70s now and have been playing golf for more than 45 years. I wish I had taken lessons early and often, but it took the advent of media golf content and easy access to instruction to get me curious and ambitious enough to improve. I currently play to a 10.5 hdcp, however I feel that’s overly generous. I’m not trying to be modest; my regular play is in a senior’s league where the mostly 70+ crowd plays from pretty short tees.

About a third of the usual suspects at the Tuesday league.

I’m fortunate to still be reasonably flexible and decently long (for my age) that results in short approach shots into par 4’s & 5’s, so I have a little better hdcp than it should be. And while I believe that I am still waaaay too mediocre for the amount of time I put in playing and practicing, I can honestly say that I’m a much better golfer today than I ever was – considerably shorter, but technically better.

I usually get to play 36 holes per week. I’m most comfortable driving the ball although both my overall & performance averages dropped in 2023 more than getting another year older justified, IMHO. So I did a lot of work over the winter on sequencing and a bit on speed, and I also picked up a new driver. Together, at least in range sessions and the few rounds so far this year, it looks like I’ve gotten back the lost distance and perhaps even added a few yards.

I bought my 1st set of clubs with a big $110 windfall from my one and only craps table adventure at a Bachelor’s Party back in the late 1970’s (a lot of sudden cash for a young family man just starting out!!). I used the money to buy a used set of custom-built Wilson Julius Boros model forged blades.

Wilson Julius Boros 6 iron

Being custom-built meant they were “special” clubs to my knuckle-headed self. And they were… to the original owner! Other than being nearly 2" too short and, of course, serious blades, they were terrific.

Looking at the JB 6i next to my current JPX919 6i, I can’t imagine why they failed me so spectacularly! It took several years of struggle to realize they were completely inappropriate for me.

My first “new” set of clubs were off-the-rack Tommy Armor 845’s. They really were nice clubs and have since become the hand-me-down set for family members getting their feet wet into golf. Over the years I also played Hogan Medallions (fitted, but not well), Hogan Apex Plus+ (beautiful perimeter weighted forging), Mizuno JPX825 (fitted), and my current Mizuno JPX919 HM with off-the-rack Vokey SM9 54.12D & 58.08M wedges. I don’t think my next iron set will be much of a “set”. The top end of the bag has become hybrid irons and higher lofted fairway woods, and I just started researching to add a non-set wedge & gap wedge when this tremendous Vokey opportunity came up. Perfect timing!!

5/12/2024 Update: Test Plan

So, why is this test perfect timing? Boy… where do I start.

My current JPX919HM 45 deg PW and 50 deg GW, SM9 54 S & 58 L wedges.  

I currently game an off-the-shelf SM9 54.12D & 58.08M, both with stock wedge shafts selected as much by what was available as what was right for me, and a JPX919 50 deg set gap wedge. I really like how the Vokey’s perform when I manage to hit them well. But I too often hit fat or dig in too much on fairway and shots around the green at the softer courses I play in Michigan. Is some of that due to bad bounce/grind selections?

The online Titleist Wedge Selector says that I have the correct 54 deg wedge which leads me to believe that I need to work harder on technique. But I’m anxious to see what the Titleist Premier Fitter says. Other than for very short-sided bunker shots, I always use this wedge out of the sand and I’m reasonably successful at it. I can’t say that I leave myself a lot of close sand-save opportunities, but it’s rare that I don’t escape. I do see a variety of roll-outs, though, with which I’m hoping the new SM10 features (CG and groove improvements) will address.

The selector tool recommends a very different version for the lob wedge, a 58.14K. The K grind has their highest bounce with a wide sole and enhanced camber which they say is “for players requiring forgiveness in a wide full sole”. Oh-oh, sounds a lot like training wheels! But I’ll take all the help I can get. Again, what will the Premier Fitter say?

The gap wedge is where I’m the most curious. I’ve never been happy with any set gap wedge so I don’t know why it’s taken me all these years to pull the trigger on one. I literally just took delivery on an SM9 50.08F when I got word of my selection for this test - who knew!!! Again, I had to settle for what was available which is different from the Selector tool recommendation, a 50.12F. Fortunately, I was able to return the SM9.

Here’s the link to a really good Titleist video explaining the SM10 CG and groove improvements. They’re substantial!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8GeFjp4-rs

OK…so… how I do I test all of this without it turning into a totally subjective mess?  I’m open to suggestions, but the MGS core belief of being “Datacratic” keeps smacking me in the head. I don’t feel my current Shot Scope data can really help since I use the wedges on such a wide variety of distances and conditions.  So I decided to buy (or is ‘rationalized’ the right word???) a Mevo launch monitor that should help me with launch and spin comparisons.

Mevo session out of the sand.

I experimented with what turned out to be a tricky measurement, shots out of the sand. I had to add the reflective dot to the ball, set up the Mevo for short wedge play, and find a reasonably flat space in the sand between the ball and the device. But I eventually got consistent spin results with shots that seemed to be similar. I could never achieve consistent numbers with anything else, though (carry, height, launch). But I think I now have a way to somewhat objectively compare IRL spin from sand. I can also use the Mevo to compare fairway shot vertical launch, apex height, and spin between the Premier Fitter’s recommendations and my gamers. Pretty cool!

I will still end up making a bunch of subjective comments, but I’ll try to keep those to a minimum.  I think if I see improved spin from the bunkers, better turf action on partial shots, and greater consistency on gap wedge shots, I will have some gently used SM9s to put up for sale! Again, any suggestions or simply things you’d like to see are very welcome!

5/23/2024 Update: My Professional Fitting: 

Just the facts, ma’am, just the facts!!!! Here’s what the Vokey online Wedge Selector Tool recommended (completely based on my own evaluation) and what the Professional recommends. Hey! I got one bounce and one grind right! Who needs a professional!!??

Online Wedge Selector (top) & the Professional Fitter's recommendation (bottom)

Deeper dive:

It’s been more than 12 years since I’ve had an in-person club fitting, and that was in-doors on a simulator. This was my first outdoor fitting experience; it didn’t disappoint! I was contacted by Andrew Saupe, Titleist Fitting Specialist, where he slotted me ahead of an already packed fitting day at Apple Mountain Golf Club near Saginaw, MI.

Andrew Saupe & his SureFit set-up

One couldn’t ask for a more enthusiastic supporter of all things Titleist, and he really loves what he does. Andrew knew my fitting was for a MGS member’s test and he was ready to work his magic on me. We started off discussing my fitting goals and expectations. It surprised me when he said that he found many customers just wanted to maximize distance, even for wedges, and they didn’t even care about things like carry yards and spin control. I can’t imagine that being a common attitude among MGS devotees, but I guess it’s out there!

We reviewed my Shot Scope data that I brought along, and the scoring clubs I’ve been using, a JPX919HM 45 deg wedge & 50 deg gap wedge, a SM9 54.12D and a SM9 58.08M. Next, we moved on to my general misses and issues, but reserved more of that discussion for the individual wedge I was hitting. I had already warmed up on another part of the range earlier, so he asked me to start off hitting a few with my 7 iron to get a sense of my normal pattern. Right away he noticed an issue I have; my divots are quite a bit deeper on the toe side than the heal. After a few shots, he handed me a T350 7 iron in a 1” longer shaft (that model mostly because I had asked him an earlier question about them). I still seemed to be more toe down, so he adjusted the lie up 2 deg. That worked perfectly!  

After more discussion about softer northern tier courses I normally play, the highest lofted wedge with which I’d be comfortable, and possible future iron purchases, he chose to have me start off with a 56 deg head with a 14 deg bounce in the F grind, which is the all-purpose grind for full shots. Also, he didn’t have all of the available shafts for the other wedges, so he wanted to validate the extra inch long shaft and 2 deg upright lie angle. They worked! I was getting a nice even divot and excellent 3-5 groove contact and excellent spin on a ¾ shot.

The impressive practice facility at Apple Mountain even includes two large bunkers; one onto a green and one replicating a fairway bunker. Unfortunately, the entire area received a great deal of rain the night before and even though the sand was raked to near perfection, the sand was still so wet that getting meaningful data wasn’t in the cards. I did feel getting out with the proposed SM10 56.14F was a bit easier than my current SM9 54.12D, but no real data to back that up.

3/4 swing with the SM10.56.14F 

At this point I got some good news; Andrew’s appointment after me had to cancel. So he said that we could take all the time we wanted! Whoo-hoo, more play time!!!

Next, we went to the wedge that I was most curious about, a 52 deg gap wedge.  My stock GW complaint is again inconsistent contact. The longer shaft and upright lie angle will help that situation quite a bit, but he also went to a 12 deg bounce in the F grind. My gamer GW bounce is a mere 6 degrees.  Again, nice numbers!

3/4 swing with SM10.52.12F

Last, he had me try a 60 deg lob wedge. Again to help me with inconsistent contact, he went to a 12 deg bounce but this time in a D grind. Nice!!

3/4 swing with SM10.50.12D

But I wasn’t done testing the LW yet. I short-side myself too often on a couple of holes where I regularly play that requires a reasonable flop shot. I’m no Phil Mickelson, but can I do a decent job of keeping it on the green, even when it runs away from me. I needed to see whether I could hit a flop shot with the higher bounce Andrew was proposing. Again, I was pleased! Even on the tight range grass, the 60 did a pretty decent job.

One note on spin numbers; they were undoubtedly higher as the result of using range balls. There is such a thing as too much spin but Andrew wasn’t worried that mine would be excessive, even on full shots. Probably his tactful way of telling me that it wouldn’t happen with my club head speed.

The last thing to do was decide on the finish.

Andrew showed me his fabulous looking murdered out bag set-up, including the jet-black wedges with black shafts and grips that he ordered through WedgeWorks. Believe me, the pictures don’t do them justice, they’re gorgeous! I tried to convince him that the all-black color was essential to my improved wedge performance, but he wouldn’t bite. Oh, well. I actually had my heart set on the new Nickel finish anyway.

The stock SM10 finishes.

All-in-all, I spent nearly 2 hours with Andrew and hit close to 200 balls. I was exhausted when returned home! For some reason, my wife wasn’t overly sympathetic.

Next up: Unboxing

Added my fitting experience.

[Chubbs1991]

Firstly, a huge shoutout to both MyGolfSpy and Titleist for this incredible opportunity. As someone who's always been loyal to Vokey wedges (with a brief fling with Cleveland), I'm beyond excited to dive into the world of SM10s.

 

Hey there, I'm Corbyn, residing in rural Nova Scotia, Canada, with my wife and newborn and dog named Hogan. Golf isn't just a hobby for us; it's part of our story. Our first date was actually a round of golf, where I managed to fire a smooth 87, my “best round ever” and then next summer we got married on the course. As a teacher, I'm fortunate to have summers off, dedicating ample time to perfecting my game both on the course and in our backyard chipping and putting area.  Love travelling to play all types of courses. Last summer was able to get to Cabot and play both the links and cliffs, followed by a trip to the Carolinas to play. Tobaccao and Pine Needles, Southern Pines. 

 

 

 

My current course is Clare Golf and Country Club, nestled in the picturesque landscapes of NS. While it might not boast the length of some courses, its small greens present a formidable challenge every time I play. Was able to shoot par there last summer 71.  It was also the spot of my wedding. The par 3 we got married on was playing long that day as it was all carry. 

 

 

Now, onto the gear, as true golf equipment junkie. My bag's a bit of a mixed affair, built through a mix of research and gut feeling. I've got a Mizuno driver, Titleist 3 wood, Callaway Legacy Black irons KBS $ taper x flex  and, of course, my trusty Titleist Vokey SM8 wedges in 52, 56, and 60 degrees, all wedges with KBS hi rev shafts. Each wedge's flex varies – the 52 and 56 are extra stiff, while the 60 is stiff.

It's been a journey of dedication and hard work, but seeing those numbers drop has been incredibly rewarding. I've been focusing a lot on mastering my tempo, striving to become a full-time member of "Tempo Town." Alongside that, I've dedicated significant time to honing my short game, especially those delicate shots around the green.

Testing Wishlist for the New Titleist SM10 Wedges

1) The fitting experience. Seeing how it will compare to my online fitting from titliest to my own fitting(Me thinking I know what I need) to actually getting fit. 

2) Spin Control: Assess the spin rates of the SM10 wedges compared to my current Vokey SM8 wedges.

3) Feel and Feedback: Evaluate the overall feel and feedback on different types of shots, from full swings to delicate pitches.

4) Consistency: Test the consistency of distance and trajectory on both full shots and finesse shots around the green.

5) Versatility: Experiment with various shot types, including bunker shots, flop shots, and low runners, to gauge the versatility of the SM10 wedges.

6) Grind Options: Explore the available grind options to determine which best suits my playing style and course conditions.

7) Durability: Assess the durability of the wedges over multiple rounds of play to ensure long-lasting performance.

8.  Aesthetics: Evaluate the visual appeal of the SM10 wedges at address and in the bag. As I plan on getting raw finish.

9) Customization: Explore customization options such as shafts, grips, and stamping to personalize the wedges to my preferences.

10) Comparative Testing: Conduct side-by-side comparisons with my current Vokey SM8 wedges to identify any noticeable

differences in performance. 

 

Experience Using the Titliest Wedge Selector on their Website: 

First off, let's talk about how easy it is to use. I'm not someone who is tech whiz, but the interface of the Wedge Selector is so easy that I had no trouble navigating through it. Inputting my playing conditions, divot pattern, fairway conditions and bunker conditions, and skill level was a breeze, and within moments, I had personalized recommendations tailored specifically to my game. As someone who thinks of  themselves as a gear geek, these types of club selectors are important. 

Now with these recommendations I build the wedges on the site.  Selecting the shafts and grips that I want. I am curious when I do the actual fitting if I fit into these specs or not.  I went with the KBS as I have KBS in my irons and wedges already so I figured they were right for me. 

The Fitting: 

Today, I had a wedge fitting at Ken Wo Golf Club in New Minas, NS, with Jordan Milne, and it was an amazing experience. The weather was perfect, with a slight headwind and a comfortable temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. I do wish I would have taken some more time to take pictures but everything was happening so quickly and I didnt want to interrupt the fitting and throw off my swing. 

 

 When I arrived, Jordan greeted me and explained what we would do during the session. We started with a warm-up to get some initial numbers, using my 9-iron and pitching wedge to check the distance gaps. My 9-iron consistently hit around 150 yards, while my pitching wedge, which I thought was a 125-yard club, was actually reaching 135 yards. This revealed a big 20-25 yard gap between my pitching wedge and my 52-degree wedge, which was hitting around 110 yards. A good rule of thumb is to have similar gapping between wedges 10-15 yards. Jordan had the TrackMan system set up to give us accurate data which was optimized, even though we were using range balls instead of the ProVs or Bridgestones I usually play with.

With these baseline numbers, we tried out different lofts and grinds for my wedges. Surprisingly, my self-fitted wedges, which I had chosen based on internet research, had the correct grinds: an F grind for my 52-degree wedge and M grinds for my 56 and 60-degree wedges. However, Jordan noticed that my wedge shafts were too stiff and suggested switching to S400 shafts for better performance and feel.

 

We spent some time testing various wedges, and after thorough evaluation, we decided on a new set of four wedges: 48 F, 52 F, 56 M, and 60 T. It was my first time seeing a T grind, and it felt perfect when I set it down—hard to explain, but it felt like a natural fit immediately. My swing was feeling good, so the fitting was quicker. He knew what would work, and everything we tried felt great compared to what I thought was good for me.

Jordan’s fitting approach focused on real-world conditions rather than just relying on numbers. He had me hit various shots—from full swings to half swings and small pitches—on the range to see how each wedge performed. After that, we moved to the short game area to test pitches and bunker shots, making sure  the grinds were perfectly suited to my game. The bunker shots were particularly challenging since my bunker play isn’t my strongest skill, and having Jordan throw balls into the bunker and ask me to aim for specific pins was nerve-wracking but very helpful.

Wedge set up:

Overall, I am extremely happy with the fitting process and Jordan’s expertise. It’s great to work with someone who truly understands club fitting and can customize the equipment to my needs. This session has given me confidence that my new setup will greatly improve my game. The combination of personalized attention, accurate data, and real-world testing made this fitting an invaluable experience.
