Okay so we’re here at the 2024 PGA show and all the buzz has been about the brand new vogi design sm10 wedges and we have the man himself here to tell us about them Bob tell us a little bit what the motivation was for the sm10 to make improve upon the sm9 yeah

Always continually improve from generation to generation take the call it the any comments that you may hear because how do you get these comments for first off we do all the best Tes you we can have for each series a lot of new innovation we put in but all of a sudden

What you can’t replicate is what happens on the backside Sunday afternoon in our hands right we may hear a little something so we that’s it okay now here you go guys you say this you hear maybe two players or okay let’s take a look at it but remember we don’t want to hurt

What we already have what we have is pretty good you could Chase it a wee bit correctly as best you can without affecting what we already have just keep building upon it keep keep up build on it and then the Progressive center of gravity that’s something that’s been

Thrown around all I would hear the words what does it mean to average golfers like myself well Center gravity is worth but you can almost when I did my day I used to be able to take before computers come computers tell it what met they get exactly where days I didn’t have that

Luxury when I started I used to take off the heads I like I would either cut the shaft off or take the shaft off you blow torture off then I would balance that particular head almost on my fingertip sort of yeah but I use a drill bit on in

Device then I put it where it balances I grab and I just St it like this get the little little spot said there’s the center of gravity so I had a bunch of other wedge that I like where’s the center of gravity I find out where it is

These back older wedges that most was mostly in this location it’s closest it was inside of center right you know which older wedges bigger wed I do a lot of time you want that want that wedge to do that they don’t want it to be remain

Open but we’re fortunate when we put the center of gravity we also you have it up and down in and out so we’re able to move it in we moved it probably up a little bit and out a little bit here but to stop the the change watch that D

Dynamic off change so we turned around and we moved it in in a wee bit but we also moved it towards the center and the as a result we have what you call a draw byas it’s draw by we said we wanted to get that draw by just going to be take a

Normal swing it’s going to go way you want it straight it’s not going to have a tendency to do this and but it won’t it won’t won’t remain open it’s so just just just SM it’s still going to close on it which I always want that Moi you

Want that you want that sh you want it to and that’s a perfect that kind of fine tuning you’re talking about just building upon what was there and then we get that we say okay guys yeah let’s go for that’s basically all the Innovation plus we had goall changes a little bit

Of profile changes some players were complaining about the toll they thought it was a little too round I wanted to get things more symmetrical so it’s a better looking right and looks give confidence yeah you know confidence is Hing any man it is that’s the biggest word that I love I love confidence

There’s nothing more dangerous than a confident golfer you yeah oh he get set them get a sit her down behind the ball bang I was it I can hit that sh let go watch this absolutely you know they they they say watch this shot you ready for

This watch here it is bang take that no no better feeling than that no better feeling at all and obviously a lot of options 25 different combination options which I think there’s two parts of the puzzle of course there the equipment but there’s a fitting as well yeah and and

And us as regular golfers we’re learning more and more about that important that past fitting is so very important and you you’re as a person who’s still doing fittings now still do it now you’re still doing them still fitting so tell us a little bit about this this lineup

As a tool for you to do fittings with what it is right now it’s each line that we do will take out some the movers and the Shakers you know we we know what they are what where we can do a fitting but if if we’re lack in on one

Particular Club to had a certain amount of shots that come up during fitting we say and also tour players you know well they’re going to get that get all these different combinations that they’re going to get but what do we want to put in the line that we’re going to sell we

Have a lot of wedges on Wedge works grindes that are just sitting in the I call it you know they in the bullpen just sitting there like waiting to be put in the game so that’s how we get new ones were new this year come T it’s

Older wed it’s been on Wedge ribs for a long long time right but we just brought it back into the mix again so and we brought the the low bounce 54 brought it back in in so it’s only little ones are there we bring them back in when we need

Call it you see a little hole in the lineup we this on the lineup let’s let’s pinch it for let’s get the another budget and golf such a global game there’s so many different conditions to play Under the more options that we have I mean some of us even just playing in

Conditions that are different than I used to a different grind may make all the difference but you remember this good way wedge play as an art form it’s true you want to make sure you you’re using a light paint blush because you’re not going to be able to complete that

Portrait as simple as that that’s why you got to know what to use and that’s we’re going to get fit if you go to get fit they’re going to give you the right then you think if you go prepared ask all the answers questions you want to

Get answers for get give the right right question so that fitter can help you yeah help you where you give them your SN give me your weaknesses how do you hit each shot with what particular Club are you using now you know those are things there

You guys can work together you and the fitter can work together to give you the best tools in your to toolbox to do the job hey the tour Pros do it we might as well too right all the time all the time and then just tell me a little bit about

The new finish great this is just this is a a nickel type finish it’s again it’s plated very similar to the plated it’s going to it’ll wear off but it’s just you’re looking for a finish that that to replace we had a brush we had a

Brush nickel M it was different type of color I didn’t I didn’t like it as as much as this this particular guy right here that was going to be in my bag you know yeah well I was going to ask you D ask like which wedges are in Bob boki’s

Bag right now right now 46 f 52f a 56 F I’m old school go gr and then I went M Grind in my 16 the M Grind is very ver laber so i’ always like to have one high balce sand wge and lower bounce

LGE see that you to shot in when you go look at the shot and you say God I got to hit this shot you’re going to have the club that’s going to let you it’s going going to compliment your Technique yeah there’s a lot of Versatility in

Those four wedges right there that’s it yeah that’s what I try to do absolutely all right Bob I appreciate your time we’re excited to hit them ourselves which we’re going to be doing really soon they gets contagious that yeah I know thanks so much thanks
