Proving very popular last year, Titleist’s Vokey Design SM6 wedge is now also offered in a raw finish with a non-glare satin look. It rusts over time – just the way Tour pros like, as it helps soften impact feel. Its new progressive CG helps to generate consistent distance and trajectory control. MSRP: $195 |

The center of gravity on Cleveland Golf’s RTX-3 Cavity Backand Blade is close to the center of the face – decreasing vibration and increasing stability through impact. Ultimately, this improves feel and tightens shot dispersion. Three sole grinds are available, each featuring a V-shaped sole to help glide the clubhead through turf. The CB is slightly larger, while the Blade is more versatile.
MSRP: $130 – $140 |

PING’s new Glide 2.0 sports a
“Hydropearl chrome” finish on the stainless steel clubhead that repels water. Precision-milled grooves increase the full-shot spin rate by 350 rpm over the original Glide. The wedge comes in four grinds — standard, thin, wide and eye—that allow golfers to acquire the right club sole for their typical divot depth and playing conditions. MSRP: $170 |

If blue clubheads are your thing — and you may be pleasantly surprised to discover that they are — then Mizuno’s MP T7might be ideal for your game. It features sharp and durable grooves that help generate plenty of backspin: The durable “Quad Cut” grooves—optimized for shoulder radius, pitch, width and depth—are narrower and deeper in the lower lofts than the higher. Clubhead shaping also varies by loft, while feel is soft.
MSRP: $150 |
mizunousa.com/golf In its third generation, Honma’s
TW-W3 is used across world tours. Since it is forged, impact feels nice and soft. Its sole surface is repeatedly ground down in 0.1 mm increments, which enhances spin performance for greater accuracy. Higher lofts have a built-up blade and raised heel, letting golfers use more of the open clubface at address for lob shots.
MSRP: $130 – 175 |
