It starts with playing the right setup of loft bounce and grind. And Vokey offers an industry leading 27 combinations in the new SM 11 models. Um, there's even more to, uh, tour proven grinds through Vokey's wedge works program as well, but 27 combinations.
Good luck trying to figure that out on your own. Uh, find a Titleist fitter. They will guide you through all the different options and help you unlock better performance in each of those three key areas. Having done this, I still can't explain why I'm in what I'm in and why it's the best fit. That's why you need a fitter to walk you through exactly this. And there's a reason why Vokey Wedges have been the most played on tour since 2004, seven of the top 10 in the official World Golf Rankings play at least one Vokey Wedge. Titleist.com to find a fitting near you. Randy, you want to take us across the pond over to England with a little recap of the action for those that may have missed it before we break it all down.
