[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] "Choosing a self wedge online without face-to-face contact."

In the era of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), a unique 'wedge fitting method' has emerged and become a hot topic. It is the 'Wedge Selector Tool' conducted by Titleist along with Vokey Design SM8. You can easily find the optimal SM8 wedge on the homepage. By answering questions about your swing style and current club setup, it immediately recommends the 'wedge option that suits me.' There are a total of eight questions.

▲ Please select your handicap or average score. ▲ What is the loft of the pitching wedge you currently use? ▲ What is the highest loft wedge you can use during a round? ▲ What does the divot look like when you take a full swing with the wedge? ▲ What kind of shots do you want to perform with each wedge? ▲ How are the fairway and bunker conditions at the golf courses you frequently visit? ▲ What is your confidence level in bunker shots? and so on.

The recently released SM8 wedge is a new model that adds forgiveness to precision. It has already taken the number one usage rate on the PGA Tour, drawing the spotlight. The innovative center of gravity design catches the eye. By focusing on the front of the face, it improves distance and trajectory control, guaranteeing a solid hitting feel and stability. There are six grind options (F, S, M, K, L, D) allowing various choices to match playing styles.

The D grind has added 54.12 degrees and 56.12 degrees. It boasts consistent spin-milled grooves through a 100% inspection process. Specially manufactured to pursue ideal contact with the ball, it achieves Vokey's highest spin amount. The different hosel lengths by loft increase the moment of inertia (MOI) while leading to consistent flight during impact. It comes in three colors: Tour Chrome, Brushed Steel, and Jet Black.

Kim Tae-hoon (35), a three-time champion on the Korean Professional Golf (KPGA) Korean Tour, praised, "I like the back design the most," adding, "I feel the spin has increased, and chip shots using the bounce have become much easier." Kwon Sung-yeol (34), the 2018 SK Telecom Open winner, also analyzed, "The touch and power transmission seem to have become more consistent," and added, "The part that comes off the face has improved a lot, making spin control more consistent."
