  1. @GolfSpy_BEN, just got back home after a couple of months on the road in the southwest. While the rest of my game has gone off the rails a bit I am very confident with the Edison wedges! They won’t be coming out of the bag anytime soon!
  2. Got out late in the day with nobody around to do some on course comparisons, basically just dropped balls from 40-90 yds and hit a few shots with each club. The Edisons did not disappoint! North south dispersion was much better than my gamers much the same result as I had on the Sim.
  3. Well the weather here has been terrible but I have done a few sessions with the mevo+ in the garage. For comparison I took ten shots with each club from 20yd to 100yd in 10 yd increments. I found that avg spin and height to be pretty much the same as my Callaway's. My dispersion however was much better with the Edisons. Hopefully the weather improves this week and I can get out for some on course testing.
  4. Well Thanks to PMookie and MGS I have been given the opportunity to retest the Edison2.0 wedges! I bought my first set of clubs when I was 19 and would get out 10-12 times a year till my late 20's then kids and other responsibilities ate up my time. About 6 years ago I started picking it up again and bought a set of Ping G400 irons and became addicted! I live on Vancouver island so I am fortunate to be able to golf all year round (although it can be a little wet in the winter). I have been looking to replace my Mack Daddy4 wedges for a while now, while they perform well for me from 60Y and in I have zero confidence in them beyond that. As a 16 handicap I find the myriad of choices for bounce and grind options out there intimidating, I do not see myself buying a few sets of wedges for different playing conditions. The fact that the Edison wedges have one bounce and grind solves that issue. The other thing they claim is they are more forgiving so my hope is that they will fill the gap from 60-100Y for me. I have a mevo plus in the garage so I will be able to test out all the claims and report back, I will also get them out on the course as much as possible. Outside of golfing me I enjoy Fishing and exploring in our camper. The wedges are supposed to be delivered this week and I am looking forward to testing them out! First impressions As this is a retest I am not doing an unboxing. Above is a pic along side my Callaway's I really like the way they look from address the middle club is my titleist gap wedge, they blend very well and weight and feel are very similar. Above is a picture of my Titleist gap wedge with the Callaway wedges for comparison. As I am a re tester these were not fit for me and they are considerably longer than my Callaway's, they are about the length of my 8 irons. I did a session on the sim and at the range at full length, full shots were fine but chipping was hard to get used to so I cut them down yesterday and re-gripped. Did another session on the sim today and I really like the feel. More to come... Final Review First impressions 10/10 I really liked the look and they felt solid on the full shots. Once I cut them down and re-gripped they were even better. aesthetics 9/10 The overall look really suits my eye, and at address they blend extremely well with my t200’s. I will say I prefer a high toe wedge for my lob wedge but for me that is just a confidence thing for open faced sand shots. Feel 10/10 I love the feel of these wedges especially for 3/4 to full shots. Even on off center hits they feel solid wear as my current gamers will feel like you hit a stump. The numbers 9/10 The biggest benefit I find with the Edison 2.0 compared to my Callaway’s is the north south dispersion from 50-100 yards. Being a 16 handicap I do not always hit the center of the face and the Edison’s are far more forgiving in that aspect. They are not magic though so if your face or path is off they can not straighten your shot. My east west dispersion was similar to my gamers. As for higher spinning and higher flight once again I did not find any noticeable difference, I deducted a point for that. On course 19/20 When I first started using them on course I noticed an immediate improvement on longer shots but around the green no difference. However the more I practice and play with them the better they feel. The one place I will give the edge to my Callaway high toe 58 deg is for greenside bunkers, I am still struggling a bit with the edisons from there but I think that will get better with more practice. The good bad and in between 19/20 The good- as advertised they are far more forgiving than a blade wedge. The bad- I really don’t have anything bad to say about them. The in between- for me it is the sand shots but that is probably me more than the clubs. Play it or trade it 19/20 No brainer for me it is Play it! I would say my short game has improved playing the Edison’s (my handicap has not improved but there is always one part of my game that lets me down on any given day but thats golf!) TLDR For the target golfer the mid to high handicap avg golfer I don’t think you can go wrong with the Edison 2.0. If you are not playing blade’s for your irons why switch to blades for your wedge’s? An added bonus on top of being more forgiving is you won’t have to stress over what grind and bounce you need for how/where you play.
  5. My current gamers are Callaway mack daddy 4 54deg and a 58dwg PM grind. I got them about 5 years ago when I started playing more often. Reason for choosing them at the time was thats what they had in the pro shop and I didn’t know anything about wedges. That being said I have never had any confidence in them when it comes to full shots. I have read the reviews from the other testers and think the Edison wedges would really suit my game. I live on Vancouver island so while it can be quite wet in the winter we can play all year round. I also have a mevoplus in the garage so I will be able to compare data from that. I also Just retired so I have lots of time on my hands
