Titleist Vokey Design SM11 Wedge (Tour Chrome)

The Vokey Design SM11 is Titleist’s 2026 wedge, offered in six sole grinds and 27 loft and bounce options from 44° to 60°, so you can match each wedge to your swing and your turf.

Why it made the list

The SM11 gives you six grinds: F, M, S, D, K and T. Each one suits a different swing or lie, from full shots on soft turf to open-faced chips off firm ground. Titleist also keeps the center of gravity in the same spot for every grind within a loft. That means a 56° in the M grind launches like a 56° in the D grind, and you can pick the sole without changing your flight.

It also posted strong test results. MyGolfSpy’s 2026 wedge test, which used 56° wedges, gave the SM11 its best spin score (9.0) and third place overall. Golf Digest gave it a perfect 5.0 and a Gold medal on its 2026 Hot List.

What it does well

• Offers six sole grinds and 27 loft and bounce combinations, the widest spread in this guide
• Keeps the same center of gravity across grinds in each loft for a steady launch window
• Uses Spin Milled grooves with 5% more volume than the SM10 to clear grass and water
• Adds an angled face texture between the grooves for more friction on short shots
• Heat treats every groove, which Titleist says doubles groove durability

Titleist calls this package the Vokey Spin System. The grooves change shape by loft, and the heat treatment keeps the edges sharp for longer.

Who it’s for

Buy it if you want to fit each wedge to the way you swing. Golfers who take deep divots can choose the D grind. Players who open the face around the green can pick the M or T grind. If you want one forgiving sole for full shots, the F grind covers 44° to 56°.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you just want one wedge off the rack and don’t want to think about grinds. Golfers on a tight budget can also get strong test results for less, since the Maxfli XCW costs about $70 less.

Key specs, explained

Loft runs from a 44° pitching wedge to a 60° lob wedge. Bounce runs from 4° on the T grind to 14° on the 54° and 56° F grind. The K grind now comes in a 60° with 12° of bounce. Tour Chrome is one of four finishes, along with Nickel, Jet Black and Raw. Both right and left hand models are sold, and Golf Discount offers standard or +1 inch lengths.

How it compares

The Callaway Opus SP Chrome Wedge costs about the same and has five grinds. The PING s259 Wedge (Chrome) has six grinds too and a straighter leading edge in its low lofts. Choose the SM11 if you want the most loft and bounce choices and the best spin result in the MyGolfSpy test.

Good to know

Titleist has an online wedge fitting tool, and it’s worth using before you order. Grooves wear with use, so a wedge you hit every day will lose spin faster than one you use once a week. The Jet Black finish isn’t offered in every loft.

Questions about the Vokey SM11

Which SM11 grind should I buy?

Start with the F grind for gap wedges and the M or S grind for sand and lob wedges. Pick the D grind if you take deep divots, and the T grind only if you play firm courses with a shallow swing.

Is the SM11 better than the SM10?

The SM11 has deeper Spin Milled grooves with 5% more volume, a new angled face texture and heat-treated grooves. It also adds a 44° pitching wedge and a 60° K grind with 12° of bounce.

Does the SM11 come in left hand?

Yes, left hand models are sold in many lofts and grinds. Right hand covers every option, so check the exact loft before you order.
