The Details
One lucky winner will win a prize package that is absolutely insane courtesy of THP, Edel Golf and Club Champion. You will be flown to Chicago with your clubs, where we will pick you up from the airport and bring you to Club Champion HQ where you will meet the team and get fit from Brad Syslo for new Edel SMS wedges. From there you will learn a little bit about how they build clubs and the process they go through to make them perfect. Then it is dinner and drinks before heading to hotel for a quick night of sleep before a round of golf the next morning before heading home later that day.

Favorite Aspect of the Edel SMS Wedges? The weighting is definitely a cool aspect as swings are very personal and the ability to adjust the weight to get the best result is a cool feature.

Any good wedge makes must have different grinds. Different weights is a very cool idea I have never seen before.

Favorite Aspect of the Edel SMS Wedges (See Video Above) I really like the adjustable weights. Never thought it would make a difference in wedges.
Airport Used for Travel? – Albany, NY (ALB)
Have you had a Wedge Fitting Before? – Yes, I found it pretty informative.
Favorite Aspect of the Edel SMS Wedges – The weight distribution is probably the most interesting part of the wedge. Combine that with the various lofts/grinds and it makes for a good fitting environment.
Airport Used for Travel? Indianapolis IN
Have you had a Wedge Fitting Before? No
Favorite Aspect of the Edel SMS Wedges? Customizable
In my bag, I carry a Vokey oil can, Vokey SM6 and Vokey SM6, yes they are past their primes.
Never been fitted for a wedge.
The customization and weight options should allow for a great deal of playability with their wedge.
Airport Used for Travel? Any in the NYC area
Have you had a Wedge Fitting Before? No
Favorite Aspect of the Edel SMS Wedges: The ability to fine tune ones wedges to their needs.
Philly airport is the closest to me.
I have never been fitted for a wedge and can’t even imagine how much fun that must be.
The weight is certainly the signature feature of these edel wedges and I would love to play with them. But my personal favorite is their beautiful design. So many wedges today are big and spoony and ugly (callaway pm, tm hi toe, cleveland wide sole…). I love how sleek these are!

Favorite Aspect of the Edel SMS Wedges
* On January 2021 I watched a presentation given by Dave Edel during the Ultimate Golf Lesson Workshop (Mike Adams/Terry Rowles). After understanding Edel’s fitting philosophy, I firmly believe there is no other way to go; considering biomechanic screens to optimize fitting should provide each player with the best results. During said seminar he announced that something revolutionary was coming to wedge fitting, and here we are. I’m amazed at the 44% increase in accuracy and I’m extremely intrigued about the wheight movement across the face since, after the UGL seminar, I discovered I’m a top cover/side cover golfer and my previous fitting was not premised on the release pattern that comes with this right hand grip. I’m currently scheduled to get an Edel putter fitting on June 2021 at Club Champion; it would be amazing to add the Edel wedges to my bag as well.
Cheers!

4. Swing match weighing sounds really interesting
Southwest / austin bergstrom
No
I love the crispiness of the wedges and how the ball grabs the face on impact
I will save ya’ll $$ and drive to Chicago! ? (~3 hour drive)
No I have not been through a wedge fitting before.
Besides killer look at address I would be super pumped to have the proper swing match weighting & grinds to suite my game (and where I play most).
Thanks for opportunity!

New York, All Airports
Never had a wedge fitting/club fitting
While I think the swing weight system is cool, that is what 90% of people commented. I will go ahead and say I think the grind options are the coolest part about these new wedges. Specifically, the T grind which has a triple sole. playability/shot making off tight lies becomes expanded for someone with my swing type.
The milled grooves in the bottom of the wedge seem to be imitated off Taylormade wedges and the full face grooves seem to be taken originally from the PM Grind by Callaway.
These wedges seem to encompass the best technology from in house and outside manufacturers which makes me think these things are beasts.
Can’t wait to hopefully win this thing and get the full experience.
