Which to choose

The biggest difference is how much choice you get. The Vokey SM10 comes in a wide range of lofts, grinds, bounces and finishes, which is why fitting matters so much with it. The Opus Platinum only comes in 54° to 60° lofts with S and Z grinds. It uses tungsten weighting high in the head to bring the flight down.

Reviewers rate both wedges highly for spin and describe a slightly lower, more penetrating flight than earlier or standard versions. The SM10 feels solid and crisp with clear strike feedback. Most testers call the Opus Platinum soft or solid, but its crisp sound needs a centred strike. The Opus Platinum's main drawback is value: it costs noticeably more than the standard Opus without being clearly better.

Choose the Vokey SM10 Wedge if…

you want to build a whole set of wedges, including lower lofts like a 46°, and you want to get fitted from a wide range of grinds and bounces to match your swing and turf.

Choose the Opus Platinum Wedges if…

you're a better player who tends to hit wedges too high and wants a lower, high-spin flight in a 54° to 60° loft, with a Z grind that resists digging when you open the face.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Spin: Top Marks for Both Wedges

Every review of the Vokey SM10 that covered spin praised it. One reviewer noticed more spin than earlier models, another called it elite from pitches to full shots, and in testing videos shots stopped quickly even on firm greens. Reviewers credited the spin-milled grooves and micro-grooves, and one video noted strong spin control on partial shots. The Opus Platinum got similar praise. One reviewer called it the highest-spinning wedge they tested in 2024, another found peak spin matched the standard Opus but was more consistent, and testers liked how it bit on chips, pitches and bunker shots. Both wedges score highly for spin, but only the Opus Platinum was singled out by one reviewer as the top spinner of its test year.

Launch: Opinions Split on the Opus Platinum

Reviewers described the SM10's flight as slightly lower and penetrating, much like a Tour player's wedge shot. Two sources linked this to a lower centre of gravity in the higher lofts. One testing video also said the lower lofts fly straight and stable, with less of a left miss. On the Opus Platinum, reviewers disagreed. One found the topline tungsten kept his chips lower, a side-by-side test found it flew slightly lower than the standard Opus, and one video saw a lower, more penetrating flight. However, another reviewer couldn't confirm the lower launch, and one tester couldn't see or feel any difference. Reviewers were consistent about the SM10's lower flight, while testers were divided on whether the Platinum's lower flight is noticeable.

Feel and Sound: Crisp Vokey, Softer Opus

Reviewers called the SM10 soft, responsive, solid and smooth, with clear feedback. Centre strikes felt crisp and mishits noticeably firmer. Its sound was crisp on good contact and got louder and knockier away from the sweet spot. One video rated it best for sound in its tester categories. One video also said some testers found it heavier, which won't suit everyone. The Opus Platinum was described as solid with a clean click, and one reviewer called it among the softest wedges they had tested. Another rated it medium-soft, with mishits firmer but never harsh, and described a quiet, dull thud on good shots. Overall, reviewers describe the SM10 as crisper and the Opus Platinum as a little softer and quieter.

Looks at Address: Vokey Wins More Fans

Reviewers liked the SM10's looks. They described a compact, traditional shape that sits well behind the ball, a clean and professional finish, and a choice of tour chrome, jet black, nickel and raw finishes. The one downside, raised in one video, was that the brushed face shows scars after a few shots. Opinions on the Opus Platinum were split. Some liked the dark blue, gunmetal-like finish and the head shape. Others preferred the plainer standard Opus and felt the tungsten bar or extra back details made it look cheaper or busier. One reviewer also noted that its soft metal marks quickly. The SM10's looks got steady praise, while the Platinum's were a matter of taste.
