I’ve been hearing a lot about the Vokey SM10 wedges, especially the ones with the vokey nickel finish, and I’m curious about how they really perform in the long run. I know that aesthetics are a big draw for many golfers since the brushed nickel looks pretty slick on the course, but I’m wondering how it holds up over time.
Key Points to Consider:
Appearance: How does the nickel finish look after a few rounds? Anyone notice it maintaining its shine, or does it wear out quickly?
Durability: For those who play regularly, does the finish chip or scratch easily compared to the tour chrome? I’d love to hear about any personal experiences.
Performance: Does the finish have any impact on how the club interacts with the ball? I know it’s all about the grooves, but aesthetics must play a role in confidence when addressing the ball.
Maintenance: What kind of care do you guys give your wedges with the nickel finish? Are there specific products or techniques you recommend to keep them in top shape?

If you own or have used the Vokey SM10 with the nickel finish, please drop your thoughts below. Pictures would be awesome too, especially any comparisons with the tour chrome finish. Let’s help each other make informed decisions about our gear!
I’ve had my Vokey wedges with the nickel finish for about a year now. The finish has held up relatively well, but I do notice some scratches from regular play. I usually clean them after each round, which helps.
I’ve had my wedges for over two seasons and the nickel finish is still intact, but I do see some spots where the finish is starting to wear off. I think it depends on how often you practice.
I think the finish can dampen some vibrations, which might change how it feels when striking the ball. It’s often subtle but noticeable to some players.
I’m all for keeping my clubs looking sharp, but let’s be honest: they’re wedges! They’re meant to get some love. Scratches are just battle scars, right?
I think how the finish wears is highly dependent on course conditions and your swing style too. Maybe consider that when evaluating the finish longevity.
I’ve been using Vokey wedges with nickel finish for a year now, and I must say, the feel at impact is superb. It’s got a softer touch compared to chrome finishes, which really helps with spin control.
I think the nickel finish offers better consistency. I’ve noticed my shots have a more predictable outcome, especially from the rough. The finish seems to grip the ball better on shorter shots.
