SM8 - Another winner!
August 2, 2021
I have used Vokey wedges for years. A couple years ago, I won a couple MD3 wedges. I tried them out and while they were good, they just weren’t as good as my old SM5 and SM6. I upgraded to a 3 wedge setup and got 2 SM7s, 52.08 F and 56.08 M. I still had an MD3 60.08 C, so this one, I went with a SM8 60.04 L. The lower bounce and sharper leading edge have taken some time to get used to, but it is awesome after a couple rounds. It would have been easier on me with a SM8 60.08 M since it was close to my MD3 bounce, but after working with the SM8, I can do things with this club I couldn’t with the MD3. Where I see the biggest difference, I can control the spin much better or should I say more consistently.
Pros
- Better feel
- More loft, bounce, and grind options
- Accuracy and consistency
- Did I mention feel?
Cons
- Not switching back to the Vokeys sooner!!!
