Last year, veteran club designer Terry Koehler released a new line of forged wedges from Edison Golf. The key feature was the weight he packed across the top half of these sticks, a design approach he says stands in stark contrast to the “tour design” wedges top equipment makers sell, with weight in those others located low and back in the clubhead.
“The Edison Golf wedge still has loft, and the ball is still going in the air,” he explained. “But the launch angle is lower, the ball does balloon and spin is stabilized.”
The result, he adds, is a club with more forgiveness, more consistency and control from a distance standpoint, and a more penetrating trajectory and greater spin.
Initially, Edison Golf offered six wedges, with odd-numbered lofts running from 49 to 59 degrees. Now, the company is adding lofts of 45 and 47 degrees on the front end of that range and versions with 61 and 63 degrees of loft on the back.
Koehler also will be selling these clubs directly to golfers through the company’s website. And the fourth-generation Texan is continuing his unique custom demo program.
“We’ll build you a set of wedges so you can play them on your own course and really see how they can improve your game,” he said. “And if you are not satisfied after 60 days, you can return them.”
