Evening,
I just finished testing out some Edison Wedges this summer. If you've never heard of Edison, check out their website for a little more info (https://edisonwedges.com/). I've been following Edison for some time and I've always been curious of their claims, so I wanted to give them a try. For those who don't know, Edison Wedges have an ultra-high concentration of mass that puts more mass higher up to keep the smash factor as consistent as possible across the club face. This means your halfway-decent shots will fly pretty much like your good shots. Whereas a traditional wedge has a lower concentration of mass where the Tour pros are consistently hitting their shots. Edison designed a wedge for the average golfer.
I tend to struggle with chips/pitches in the 20-40 yard range, so I was hoping these wedges would be the answer. I tested a 55 degree wedge (bent to 56) and a 50 degree (bent to 51). I compared them to my JP Golf 56 degree wedge and my Sub70 Golf 51 Degree Gap Wedge.
Overall, I hit alot of balls on a launch monitor. I was curious if launch angle and ball speed would be any different amongst these clubs and I didn't notice much discrepancy. Overall, carry and distance was pretty much the same for all the clubs (+ or - 2-3 yards). However, I did notice a difference playing on the course. Hitting balls out of the rough where your club tends to slide more under the ball leading to higher strikes on the club face didn't impact my overall distance as much as the JP or Sub70. Even today, I hit a 100 yard shot and hit it a little fat with the 56 degree Edison and it still flew 100 yard and stuck on the green.
Additionally, I found these wedges easier to chip/pitch with in the 20-40 yard range. They do have a specially designed sole, which has a dual-bounce design that eliminates the need to have different bounces and grinds in the bag. I found myself finding the green more often and landing closer to the pin than I was before. Also, I was at the range with a buddy who is pretty new to golf. I noticed he was struggling with his chipping around the practice green. I gave him the 56 degree Edison and had him chip with it for 30 mins or so. When he was done, he said he was hooked. He found it so much easier to use than his Cobra wedge he was using prior to the Edison.
One thing I will say is there isnt anything real fancy about these wedges. Below is a picture of the wedge. It is pretty simply looking. I frankly don't mind what a wedge looks like cause if I hit it well and it does what I am trying to do, that is all that matters. But it's not as fancy looking as some other brands.
If you've been struggling with your wedge game lately and looking for something new to try, give Edison Wedges a try. I'll keep updating the forum with my thoughts and please share yours here if you currently game these wedges or have in the past.
