Vokey Design is back with a fresh twist on a classic look, unveiling a limited-edition Oil Can finish on its SM10 wedges. If you’re a fan of that iconic Vokey style from the 200 Series and appreciate modern performance technology, this new offering is set to catch your eye. In this article, we break down everything you need to know—from the stunning visual updates to the advanced performance features and customization options that put the power in your hands.
A Nod to the Past, Engineered for TodayThe new Oil Can finish gives the Vokey SM10 wedges a rich, deep copper hue reminiscent of previous generations’ legendary designs. Now, thanks to a refined physical vapor deposition (PVD) treatment, the finish not only captures that timeless look but also minimizes reflectivity and maximizes durability. It’s a modern update that respects the heritage of the classic Vokey Oil Can finishes while delivering all the performance technology you expect from the SM10 wedges.
Complementing the eye-catching finish is a custom copper-colored Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord grip featuring BV Wings and a Project X wedge shaft enhanced with an exclusive Brushed Chrome finish. As Master Craftsman Bob Vokey puts it,
“A player has to love their wedge when they look down at it, and finish plays a key role. Having confidence in your wedge at address is hugely important.”
Designed for Peak Performance
The performance details behind these wedges are just as impressive as the looks. With 27 different loft, bounce, and grind combinations available (in both right- and left-hand models), Vokey Design has ensured there’s a wedge in the SM10 lineup to suit every swing type, playing style, and course condition. Whether you’re dialing in shot versatility or seeking optimal turf interaction for a solid strike, these wedges are designed to help you control distance and trajectory with precision. Key Performance Features Include:
Shot Versatility and CG Optimization:
The SM10 wedges have been engineered with progressive center-of-gravity (CG) positions across the loft range. In the lower lofts (46°–52°), the CG is set lower to ensure a smooth transition from your iron set and consistent distance gapping. For the higher lofts (54°–62°), the CG moves up and forward to produce a lower trajectory, a squarer face at impact, and tighter dispersion—so you can trust that each shot will be on target.
Maximum Spin Technology:
Vokey’s patented Spin Milled groove cutting process is a key element in the design, delivering higher, more consistent spin. The SM10 wedges use TX9 grooves that are individually cut to match the different lofts: narrower and deeper on the stronger-lofted wedges (46°–54°) and wider, shallower grooves on the higher-lofted models (56°–62°). A parallel micro-texture between grooves and high-frequency heat treatment in the impact area further increase spin potential and durability—doubling the groove edge’s lifespan compared to untreated options.
Customization Made for You
One of the best aspects of the new SM10 Oil Can finish is its personalization. Vokey Design offers a robust range of custom options so you can truly make your wedge your own. All 27 loft, bounce, and grind combinations in the SM10 line can be ordered with the limited-edition Oil Can finish. In addition, golfers can choose from a suite of WedgeWorks custom options, which include:
Unique Toe Engravings: Eight different toe engraving options—with two additional designs exclusively for Oil Can wedges—let you add a personal touch.
Stamping Options: Whether you prefer a 10-character Straight/Freestyle stamping, 15 characters around the toe, or two lines of 10 characters each, there’s an option to showcase your style.
Custom Paint-Filled Markings:
Personalize your loft and grind markings, as well as the BV Wings logo, to make your wedge unmistakably yours.
The SM10 wedges can also be further customized with an industry-leading selection of shafts, grips, shaft bands, and ferrules available via Vokey’s website.
