Vokey SM11
CaddyIndex™ breakdown: what our research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You want the tour benchmark - the most versatile grind range in golf, elite spin and a soft-but-solid feel, dialed in by fitting.
You already game the SM10 (the gains are subtle), or you need a forgiving game-improvement head.
Pros
- Golf Digest 2026 Hot List - the best all-around wedge Vokey has ever made
- Spin Milled grooves with 5% more volume, a directional face texture and heat-treated durability for more, longer-lasting spin
- Identical CG across grinds within a loft, plus a progressive CG through the set, for consistent flight and feel
- Vokey's full grind range and a soft-but-solid feel - exceptional bunker control
Cons
- An evolution, not a revolution - little measurable performance gain over the SM10
- A players' wedge - modest forgiveness versus a game-improvement design
- Premium pricing
By dimension
Forgiveness
A players' wedge, well-fitted - a tour-style wedge rather than a forgiveness design, though identical CG across grinds within a loft and a progressive CG through the set make it more consistent and forgiving to fit and switch between. Modest miss-tolerance, mitigated by precise fitting.
Distance
Elite, controllable - plenty of controllable spin and consistent flight, with the option to turn the spin on or let it release, the new directional face texture and 5%-larger Spin Milled grooves adding friction, and a progressive CG flighting the lower lofts like a 9-iron. Among the best for repeatable distance control.
Workability
The benchmark - Vokey's comprehensive grind range and the option to manipulate spin and flight for any shot, with exceptional bunker control and tour-proven shot-making versatility. The standard against which wedge workability is measured.
Feel
Soft-but-solid, the standout - the standout feature is the feel, a soft-but-solid sensation with a muted thud and instant feedback when struck cleanly, with a soft feel on full swings. Among the very best cast-wedge feels.
Sound
A muted thud - a muted thud when struck cleanly, paired with the soft-but-solid feel, a clean, premium impact note. A refined, tour-preferred acoustic.
Looks at address
The classic tour shape - the timeless Vokey teardrop, the most-played wedge shape in golf, with a clean, premium profile and multiple finishes (Tour Chrome, Jet Black, Nickel, Raw). Among the best-looking wedges in golf.
