Please tell me it will be added to the lineup of the SM5's.

There is a 62.08 but I do not see that advantage of a 64 degree wedge in the line up...you can bend the 62 to 64 easily...no additional cost...IMHO
Most players stop at a 60...probably would not be a big seller... JAT

I hope they add the 64. As someone who plays a wedge set consisting of 46, 52, 58, and 64 degrees, it serves me well for distance and loft gapping. Not to mention when I short side myself or have a downhill lie in a greenside bunker, it's a club I can use with confidence.
The 64 serves a small niche market and hopefully with more grinds/bounces with 60 degree wedges, the greenside performance will surpass the 64, as least as far as my perception.
On the bright side I can take the 62 and bend it two degrees weaker for a 64-10. However, it would take time getting used to the extra bounce (my 64 is 7 degrees bounce).

Greetings to all,
The highest loft we offer in the SM5 lineup is our 62* T Grind Wedge. In SM4, there was very little demand for 64* from consumers. In addition, our fitters commented that these wedges are hard to fit because most players don't practice enough with them.
We also have zero players using a 64* Vokey on the PGA Tour. So we made the decision to add models to the 58* and 60* models which are much more popular.
As mentioned above, we can bend the 62* to 64* which would add 2* of bounce but still be very playable due to the trailing edge grind on the T Grind.
Hope this helps and we appreciate your support of the new SM5 lineup!
