New scoreline measurement technology has allowed Titleist to produce more precise face and groove cutting. Each groove is evaluated using computer-guided plotting technology. This allows the grooves to be manufactured to the conforming limit in order to provide optimal spin on a variety of shots. The face is also heat treated in order to increase the durability of the groove edges and the face surface.

The shape of the Titleist Vokey Design SM4 wedges is inspired by the original Vokey 200 series. This shape was first created by Bob Vokey in 1998 and is still widely used on tour. The Titleist Vokey Design SM4 head is slightly larger than the original Spin Milled and C-C wedges and the dimensions change slightly depending on loft.

The Titleist Vokey Design SM4 wedges will be available in Tour Chrome, Black Nickel and Oil Can finishes. They will be on sale from November 18th with a suggested retail price of £102 (steel) and £118 (graphite).
