I haven't seen pics of SM10's in black with lots of use yet, so I can't confirm that. My SM10 50 degree wear is similar. As the finish is applied post-forging or casting it will always wear. I'd like to see a test on spin rate differences between the different finishes.

It's very likely that we all take better care of our clubs than the Titleist demo bag clubs are treated, but seeing the black in person all battered and beat made me not consider it.

New, both look awesome, but the wear did not do it for me. I went with standard chromed.

KeithColorado Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I've seen the black finish on some other clubs and wasn't a fan of the wear of that finish. I'd definitely opt for Chrome finish.

Bad Golfer Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Once I get the clubs and get them out on the course I will definitely keep you guys posted on how good or bad the black finish holds up on the clubs. I certainly won't hit one off of a cart path but will run them through the sand and anywhere else I might need to use them. The sand at my local course is very firm and course and not real deep. Sometimes small stones fly up on the green that need picked off before you put. It is kinda of annoying actually. I believe that will definitely be a true test of the black finishes durability.

ClevelandGirl Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) Hopefully I’m doing this right - a link to my review of the app, which is far too long but blame my creative writing teacher, the amazing Mrs. Elzey, may she rest in peace. Updated shipping date is now 18 Sept but I will add more pretty pictures once I have better subjects, and of course will report in with on course data, assuming the wedges get here before Lake Erie sends her winter love.

It’s kinda curious why the wedge selector tool is front and center of their website. There’s not a lot of explanation about it and (as I’m such a huge fan of club fitting) there’s not a “buy it all now” button. Right next to it is a “get fit” button too.

As a consumer, I might be scratching my head - which is it? I know that fittings are highly encouraged but I think for the new Golfer who doesn't know any better or someone who only plays a few times a year really isn't worried about being fit or maybe doesn't want to spend the extra money to get fit even though it is usually credited back anyway. In those cases I think the wedge selector app works great if you properly enter the right answers to the questions. I play with a guy I used to work with that retired and he is right around scratch for a handicap and he has never been fitted in his whole life. I asked him about it and he said he thinks it is a waste of time.

I’m still stuck on 18 Sept! Gah! No offense taken @ClevelandGirl. You bring up many good points. I just went through the app a few more times and while the first 2 clubs line up with what I originally came up with on my own before the fitting and additional information from my fitter I can't get the 58 degree wedge to line up at all. I do know on the email I got from my Fitter Michael the club that he fit me into was a 52% match. I'm not sure what club is my 48% match as I can't find that info but I'm assuming it is the wedge that comes up on the app now. I also noticed that in the notes from the fitting it has my swing as shallow for all of the shots I hit and there is no place in the Vokey wedge App to enter that information that I can see. I'm going to assume that is the reason that I can't get the last club to line up. I believe when the fitter enters the additional info into the app such as swing type that could possibly have a huge impact on the selected clubs. I think this is the situation that is effecting the 58 degree wedge variant from the app to the fitting. The app wants to put me into a 58.10 S grind. This is a screen shot from the Vokey wedge website on the S grind. The fitter put me into a 58.08 M grind and this is the info on the M grind. So in hindsight the additional information that the fitter can put into the Vokey app after seeing your swing and how you approach each shot can and probably will affect the result of the wedge your fitted into.

Siamese Moose Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) It's Christmas in September! I tried to get a good unboxing picture, but I have cats, and it's a box. (After pulling the clubs out, the box was claimed for a while before I could put it in recycling.) I know that this review is focused on the app, and not the clubs themselves, but I'm a bit of a club nerd, so anything I get gets run through the full spec evaluation. (Since this is not really a part of the review, I'm putting this info here instead of the official review post.) I don't know if Titleist has different specs for graphite shafted clubs (most manufacturers do, but there's nothing about it on Titleists' website), but these slightly longer lengths and higher swingweights are typical of how graphite shafted clubs come. The standard lie for all of them is 64°, but I ordered them 1° flat. I don't know what the frequency spec is, but I measured it for the fun of it. I don't have a bounce gauge, so I can't check that. Tomorrow I'll go to the range. I'll use TopTracer there to find out the distances (that will be off mats so I can use the monitor), then off to the grass to test the grinds. I'll also pitch some around the practice green. Friday morning they get tested on the course. Stay tuned!
