Why We Like It

Most equipment technology focuses on what happens when the club meets the ball. Conversely, Edel designs clubs that help players get to impact more efficiently. The Edel SMS wedge is the latest example, using three adjustable weight ports in the back of the wedge not so much to adjust the wedge’s center of gravity (moving the heavy weight among the three ports only moves the CG slightly), but to adjust the way the wedge feels and matches your swing type, producing significantly better and more consistent distance, dispersion and spin compared to the other settings.

This is The Key to Good Wedge Play

A proficient wedge game can turn double bogeys into par saves and drop scores from the mid-90s well into the 80s. From making solid contact to controlling distance, good wedge play is a game-changer. focusing on contact is the first step to good wedge play.
