    I went from a SM9 58* M grind to a 56* SM11 M grind. As it’s a newer wedge, I’m getting more spin and it’s a better fit for my current game. Have only played one round outside in wet conditions, but it performed well.

    I upgraded from SM10s and got my 11s two or three weeks ago. I was blessed to be fit for grind and bounce by the team and Bob himself at TPI Oceanside.

    The look and feel are classic Vokey.

    The biggest difference I am seeing are on my high face miss hits. The slight COI change has helped keep those from floating as much. Trajectories are a touch lower and distance dispersion is much improved for me. My SM10s might have a 10-15 yard difference in low face versus high face and I think the 11s have cut that number in half.

    I am also experiencing the new groove phenomenon and am ripping my fuller wedges off the green, lol. I probably needed to replace the 10s a year ago but was holding out for these!

    Yep, these beauties showed up a few days ago. I have already had several short game sessions at our practice area. The 56.14F is handling that sticky overseeded rye grass pretty well. Still able to open the face and hit the low spinner without the heal digging in. I also love the 52.08F for long pitch and run shots. My T250* LS is just too light for me on these touch shots. The 60.06K is an easy transition from my SM10 in the same grind with just a little more spin from new grooves on those shots. I’m going to try and get some bunker practice next week to see if I mainly stick with the 60 or start using the 56 a little more in our bunkers. Thank you Bob and Team for another great generation of wedges.

    I ordered my 2 Vokey SM11 wedges. I can't wait till I hit them. I am really focused on traj. Titleist never disappoints. Hopefully my course will be open when they come in!

    I had my fitting on February 6th with Pete Davis for 3 of my 4 SM11s and received them with 10 days. Super happy with the clubs and they have played great so far to play. I'll get fit for my 4th SM11 within the next couple of week and look forward to seeing Pete again for his professional input.

    Just received my two Vokey SM11 58.04t and 52.12F in black. My Director of Golf Adam Miller here at Verandah helped fit me expertly as he has in past years and I am excited to put them in play Thursday. Will report back!

    I was able to do my fitting last week and for the first time I was able to do an outdoor fitting with Titleist. I loved the blind test and being able to give my feedback and listening to my fitter’s feedback. I was fitted with the 58 06/K and a 52 12/F. They arrived today and I can’t wait to hit the range tomorrow!

    I think I will change my Vokey 8 soon.

    I had a fitting for the Vokey SM11 wedges at northstone country club and I absolutely love the feel of the SM11 wedges. The weight on them is absolutely amazing as I love a heavy club. I definitely got more distance with the new wedges and would highly recommend them to anyone. The face seems very forgiving. Even if you catch it out on the toe or the heel just a bit, it still seems to fly close to the same distance.

    Vokey Design Wedges have set the standard for flight, spin, and control for more than two decades making it the #1 wedge on Tour. New SM11 continues that legacy with refinements focused on what matters most: contact, flight, and spin.

    With SM11 now available through Titleist golf club fittings and at golf shops near you, and already in the bags of Team Titleist members, we wanted to create a dedicated space for real-world feedback from golfers who have either been fit for SM11 or are already gaming them.

    If that’s you, we’d love to hear your thoughts in a comment below. 

    Some thought starts to keep this discussion as valuable as possible for golfers interested in SM11:

    • What wedges did you come from, and what made you switch to SM11?
    • Any noticeable differences in flight, spin, or distance control?
    • How does the feel compare to previous Vokey generations?
    • How did your fitting influence your loft, bounce, and grind choices?
    • Any shots or situations where SM11 really stands out so far?

    Whether you’ve only experienced SM11 in a fitting or already have a few rounds under your belt, your early impressions and on-course feedback are extremely valuable for other golfers considering SM11.

    If you’re still in the research phase, feel free to follow along. For this thread, we’ll keep responses focused on hands-on experience with SM11.

    Love all three of my SM11 wedges, 50, 54 and 58…..custom fit is a must. The improvement in my short game was immediate.

    I was fitted for my SM11's by Troy Ropiha. Thank you Troy for the insight and knowledge around my clubs and making sure I had the best outcome when using them.

    Can confirm after playing a round today that the SM11 are a game changer and well worth buying them. The feel, control and outcome of them were next level. A few times I needed to get up and down and they didn’t disappoint. Only time i didn’t, I used my 52 instead of the trusty 56.
    Highly recommended!

    I got fit for a set of irons in early February by Brandon Cauldwell. After 30 years of matching my PW and GW to my set, I was surprised to hear him suggest playing only to the 9iron in the T100's and switch to the SM11s. After 4-5 shots at the fitting, I was sold. Went with the Jet Black - 44.10 F, 48.10 F, 54.08 M and 58.08 M. Having played 3-4 rounds with them, the full swing shots are great. Great turf interaction, the right amount of spin/bite and very accurate. The biggest change is that I know chip with the 54*. It has made a big difference so far. I love the SM11s so far.
