A couple of months ago we did a full review of the Edel SMS Wedges. In the video we had Chris Koske from Edel Golf in the THP Tech Studio walking us through the design as well as hitting some shots in the simulator and showing what happens when the weights are adjusted. If you missed that, you can catch it here.
After that review was published, it was time to upgrade so after some careful consideration to the grind options available, I placed an order for a set and they have arrived.
In this video below, we unbox them and then walk you through some of the technology and explain why I chose what I chose and some of the presentation differences that are in place.
With the Edel SMS wedges available now, what are your thoughts on them? The heavier weight placement for me was noted in the video and why, but where would it be for you?
For more information on these wedges outside of our full review linked above, check out their website at www.edelgolf.com.
I wonder if the changing of weights will grow into other companies? I like the idea of adjustability and always wondered if that could be moved to irons or wedges.
I’ve been curious about these since first hearing about them. I’ve worked on my alignment, swing, etc., but still tend to be left of my intended target with a wedge. I’m sure it has everything to do with the clubhead at impact, and I can’t help but wonder if a simple weighting adjustment would be enough to help fix this minor flaw.
Having grooves again for green side shots has definitely been a bit confusing to the brain haha
yeah, I think I’m going to enjoy these.
Man…. I think these are going to be super easy to get dialed.
Hard to ignore three wedges ranging from 100-130 yards that were kick in birds.
Feedback is awesome. I love hitting it flush because it feels like the ball almost disappears.
Sounds like a few almost disappeared into the hole.
Oh man… Never left the flag style.
Feels awfully good To see stuff like that occur.
3 kick in birds seems pretty dialed in out of the gate! How’s the turf interaction for you?
I’m back on home soil for the next two days so I’ll give a really fair bit of feedback, but I loved what I saw even out of the unfamiliar Bermuda style turf I played on this week.
Easy to take a powerful divot or hit it more crisp.
that T grind seems awesome.
Love to hear more when you get back on familiar turf…. You’ve seen my swing… I’m sure you try to block that visual out as much as possible! But as a fairly steep swinger, I like my wedges to have a bit more heel heft… lead tape be damned these Edel puppies may be the magic!
these are fun.
Kick in birds, feels like the ball disappears on well struck shots, great looks. Sounds like the complete package.
How are they on less than full shots, or touch shots around the green?
I don’t have a ton of feedback on that style of shot yet since I was playing mostly on unfamiliar turf up until today, and I hit a lot of greens in reg. Absolutely comfortable though, on the few that I did have.
We‘ll see after tomorrow what I can provide.
I told you your grooves were shot on Off Course. And you just denied and deflected
They’re legit. The feel of them is on the dense side feedback wise but it just lends well to those partial and flighted shots. They’ve got me hitting those types of flights more than I have in a very long time.
I’ll absolutely accept my dark reality of ignorance. ?
They’re so effing good outdoors aren’t they???
