What the differences mean
The Titleist Vokey SM9 offers the wider selection: 25 loft/bounce/grind combinations against 23 for the TaylorMade MG4. Each is ground 7 ways — F, S, M, D, K, L, and T for the Titleist Vokey SM9, SB, SBC, LB, LBV, HB, HBW, and TW for the TaylorMade MG4.
The Titleist Vokey SM9 is sold from 46° to 62°, the TaylorMade MG4 from 46° to 60°. Only the Titleist Vokey SM9 comes in 62°.
The scoring lofts are where bounce and grind choice matters most: at 56° both offer 4 options; at 58° the TaylorMade MG4 offers 6 options to 5; at 60° the TaylorMade MG4 offers 7 options to 6. More options at a degree means more ways to match the sole to your turf and swing, which is what a wedge fitting actually selects.
The two lines launched 1 year apart (2022 and 2023), so they compete head-to-head rather than one replacing the other.
Which should you choose?
Neither is the better wedge outright — both are current tour-style designs. The Titleist Vokey SM9 offers the wider option matrix, which matters if you want an unusual bounce or grind at your loft; otherwise choose on feel, finish and price at the combination you actually play.
