Vokey SM wedges by generation: SM6 to SM11
Titleist releases a new Vokey Spin Milled wedge about every two years. Knowing the generation is the first step to pricing one, because newer generations and fresh grooves sell for much more. Jump to used prices.
Quick reference
| Model | Year | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| SM11 | 2026 | Launched at $199. Same CG placement across grinds in each loft, about 5% more groove volume, a new Jet Black finish, and new lofts including 44.10F, 58.06K and 60.06K |
| SM10 | 2024 | Launched at $159. Tighter flight windows and refined grooves, with the widest grind lineup at the time |
| SM9 | 2022 | Sharper, deeper grooves for spin and an expanded grind lineup |
| SM8 | 2020 | Center of gravity pushed forward for a more stable feel |
| SM7 | 2018 | Refined progressive CG and a broad grind and loft lineup |
| SM6 | 2016 | Introduced progressive CG, with CG placement changing by loft |
How to identify the generation
- Look for the SM number. Vokey wedges are usually marked with their generation. Check the back of the head closely in good light.
- Read the loft and bounce stamp. A marking like "56.10 S" means 56° loft, 10° of bounce, S grind. You need all three to price a wedge.
- Check the finish. Tour Chrome, Nickel, Raw and Jet Black sell at different prices, and Jet Black only exists on the SM11.
- Compare with product photos. If the markings are worn, compare the back design and badge with Titleist's photos for each generation.
Groove wear matters more than age
A wedge's value depends heavily on its grooves. A lightly used SM9 with sharp grooves can be worth more than a heavily used SM10. When buying, ask for a straight-on photo of the face in good light. When selling, show the face clearly. Buyers look at that photo first.
What used Vokey wedges sell for
Prices below are for single used wedges. Brand-new wedges and matched sets sell for more.
| Model | Typical sold price (used) | Median | Listings in sample |
|---|---|---|---|
| SM11 | $90–$173 | $138 | 23 |
| SM10 | $96–$111 | $102 | 30 (214 wedges sold) |
| SM9 | $60–$79 | $65 | 36 |
| SM8 | $43–$78 | $60 | 31 |
Two other useful numbers: new SM11 wedges sold for $143–$180 (median $168), and used three-wedge SM10 sets (for example 52°, 56°, 60°) sold for $325–$329.
For flippers, the gap between SM9 (around $65) and SM10 (around $102) is worth watching. Buying SM9s well below $50 in good condition leaves room for profit after fees.
