The 2026 Titleist Vokey SM11 wedges have officially arrived - and once again, Bob Vokey and the Titleist team have refined one of the most trusted short-game tools in golf.
But what's actually new in the Titleist Vokey SM11 range? How does the new Vokey Spin System improve spin performance? And which grind is right for your swing type and course conditions?
In this complete guide, we break down the spin, feel and control behind the latest Vokey SM11 wedges.
The Titleist Vokey SM11 wedges introduce refined groove technology, enhanced sole design options and improved face textures - all built around one simple goal:
Delivering more reliable spin control, predictable flight and consistent performance on every wedge shot.
At the heart of the update is the new Vokey Spin System.
The Vokey Spin System combines multiple technologies to maximise spin performance across a range of shots.
The deeper spin milled grooves are precisely cut and heat treated to optimise durability and consistency.
This results in tour level spin, especially on full wedge shots and scoring shots into the green.
The SM11 wedges use three distinct groove profiles depending on loft. Why? Because different wedge shots require different spin characteristics.
These shot specific groove shapes promote consistent launch angle and predictable performance, helping golfers achieve more consistent spin from the same exact point on the face.
The new directional face texture and refined angled face texture increase friction at impact, improving ball contact on delicate greenside shots.
This enhancement works alongside the grooves to deliver:
For players who rely heavily on short game performance, this refinement makes a noticeable difference.
Do Vokey SM11 wedges spin more? Yes - but more importantly, they offer consistent spin, not just raw spin.
The improvements in groove geometry and face texture create:
The result is great wedge play with more predictable outcomes.
The 2026 Titleist Vokey SM11 wedges are available in six tour proven grinds, offering unique sole grinds suited to different swing types and course conditions.
Choosing the right grind is essential for solid contact and proper turf interaction.
Often described as the most traditional wedge sole, the F grind is a practical choice for many golfers building a balanced wedge setup.
The S grind offers a blend of control and adaptability, particularly for golfers who prefer moderate bounce.
Perfect for players who like to manipulate loft and play creative short game shots.
The D grind is a player's high bounce wedge, ideal for steep angles of attack or softer turf.
The K grind is often described as the most forgiving sole, suited to bunker play and soft conditions. The grind hugs the turf and helps promote solid contact.
The T grind is built for skilled players seeking maximum control from firm conditions.
