Titleist and Vokey explored every opportunity to make the new Vokey Design SM9 the best, most complete wedges they've ever designed.
I know this because SM9 has begged me to push any shot imaginable to the limits, and more times than not has rewarded me for doing so. SM9 wedges are flat out the swiss army knives of shotmaking that will let you hit shots you didn't know you even had.

FootJoy, the #1 Shoe in Golf, has partnered with West Coast street-fashion icon Jon Buscemi on a collection of shoes that introduces a unique and luxurious spin on the Tour-proven Premiere Series, using premium materials and quality craftsmanship with a nod to the Southern Gentleman.
Aptly referred to as "The Player's Shoe," this exciting collaboration will launch at THE PLAYERS Championship this March, when defending champion, Justin Thomas, and several other FJ players debut the FJ X Buscemi shoe in competition.
When you have a golf shoe model (let alone brand overall) worn by more of the world's top players than any other shoe, you don't mess with that. And last year the 2020 FootJoy Pro SL carried over into 2021 without any changes.
So when FJ announced this year they would be releasing new Pro SL shoes for 2022 it was exciting news, because I knew this would mean a real evolution from the previous model. And I'm happy to report these new Pro SL's feature subtle changes that make FJ's best spikeless design even better.

Bridgestone Golf, the #1 Ball-Fitter in Golf, announced today the signing of major champion Jason Day to its Tour team. Joining the likes of Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau, Fred Couples, Lexi Thompson, and Matt Kuchar, Day brings an incredible resume, which includes a former World #1 ranking, in addition to personality and charisma to the Bridgestone team.
Day first became interested in Bridgestone’s TOUR B XS after seeing Tiger hit some high spinning short game shots that piqued the Australian’s interest. Though he had no relationship with Bridgestone Golf at the time, he later began experimenting with Tiger’s ball and was impressed enough to start playing it on Tour.
