Titleist and Vokey engineers, in collaboration with Titleist club-fitting experts, have developed a first-of-its-kind wedge-fitting app to enhance the experience and access to quality, precise wedge recommendations to improve golfers’ play.
“We encourage all golfers to get fit for their wedges because we know it will help improve short-game performance,” said Brett Porath, Titleist senior director, club fitting. “This process raises the bar on wedge fitting by making high-quality experiences easier to access than ever before.”
Working with an expert Vokey wedge fitter, golfers are asked a series of questions about their technique, course conditions and how they use different wedges for specific shots in a round of golf. The Vokey Wedge Fitting app incorporates launch-monitor technology to measure a player’s technique on a series of shots from full swings to greenside pitches to open-face shots.
The app focuses on data relating to a player’s angle of attack and shaft lean at impact. Working in concert with the questions previously discussed with a fitter, it ultimately recommends specific wedge grinds suited to the player’s technique and course conditions. The interactive process typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes.
“Selecting the correct wedges, particularly the right grinds, leads to more confidence and lower scores,” said Corey Gerrard, marketing director for Vokey wedges. “With the depth of options Vokey offers, getting custom fit is truly the best way to unlock the best short-game tools for your game.”
The Vokey Wedge Fitting app is available through authorized Titleist fitting partners.
