TECH:

Vokey says a progressive centre of gravity means the CG is aligned with the impact position of each wedge (higher on the high lofts and lower on the low). Every groove of each SM7 is QC inspected, which Titleist says leads to tighter tolerances, and, on average, gives up to 100rpm more spin.

WE SAY:

Though the SM7 has barely changed from the SM6, it’s the best-shaped Vokey in years. By testing the jet-black head instead of a chrome model, the head shape and size (it’s actually pretty small) are heavily disguised, so it’s difficult to spot the quirks which ordinarily catch the eye. There’s plenty of spin tech wrapped in the SM7, yet backspin was 500rpm down on our very highest spinning model. They’re beautifully designed, available in tons of options and you can rest assured they’ve been optimised to perform in decent players’ hands.
