Justin Thomas is one of the few real shooting artists left on the PGA Tour, so his tools are precisely crafted.
Thomas broke nearly three years of unwind drought in Sunday’s Royal Bank of Canada legacy, a set of specific four-titleist Vokey Design SM10 wedges.
His wedge setting consists of SM10 46.10F (@47.5 degrees), 52.12F (@52.5), 56.14F (@57) and 60.04T (@60.5).
Why an unusual loft? Because by weakening each wedge to the precise loft, down to half a degree, Thomas got Accurate The yardage he is looking for. I'm not saying that every player needs to dial their loft halfway, but throwing away the numbers on the club and making sure they carry the distance they need to fill them is something you can absolutely take advantage of your own game.
“I’ve used four wedges since college,” Thomas told Titleist. “It's very important for me to put this area in my bag and it's very precise in terms of gaps. It's not that I'm trying to get 15 yards here or there, but I just want to make me not have a yard to feel like I don't have a yard, say I can't go all out, I can't reach my faith and faith, I can make me feel upset, I can get everything I have, I can get my things, I can get my things, I can get my things, I can get my things.
Why did Thomas weaken all his wedges instead of strengthening them? Because when you weaken the club, you add bounce and when you strengthen, you bounce. Almost always especially Using a wedge, it is key to add a bouncing instead of taking it away to help with a strike position.

For every shot, every lie, every course is right for your swing. Finding the right grinding to match your swing and match conditions will provide you with the best turf interaction, contact and shooting performance. Master Craftsman Bob Vokey spent decades producing, developing and improving his tour to suit players at all levels. Anyone can make a wedge, but the master turns a high-performance technology into a creative control tool. Bob's six tours honed their training to provide maximum creativity, versatility and consistency, all carefully developed by working with the best players in the world. The progressive center of gravity SM9 features a progressive center of gravity (CG) throughout the attic to optimize ball flight, accuracy and forgiveness. The Vokey R&D team used conical toplines and various Hosel lengths to increase the height of the CG in the higher lofts, which facilitated lower, more controlled flights. CG also moves forward on the face, which adds to the MOI, a great feeling and the club's face, which just wants to open up when impacted. Rotary milling grooves SM9's patented rotary milling grooves are carefully designed through a new cutting process to maximize spin and durability. The process starts by using a high-speed saw to completely flatten the face. Each groove is then cut separately according to the attic and finish; the lower attic (46°-54°) is designed to be narrower and deeper, while the higher attic (56°-62°) is lighter. The micro peaks are cut individually between grooves, thereby maximizing the rotation of part of the shot. Proprietary heat treatment is applied to impact areas that double the durability of the groove without affecting the feeling, making it the most durable groove in golf. The process is only completed if each Vokey wedge has undergone 100% checked maximum mass and performance.
