[The Edison Challenge featuring Edison 2.0 Wedges]

Thank you for responding. Looking forward to your review.

[The Edison Challenge featuring Edison 2.0 Wedges]

Question to all of the testers: Do you get to [ick the shaft for the wedges or do just get what shaft they decide to install in the club as it comes off of the shelf?  Thank you for your answers!

That has to hurt to have to wait this long for a set of irons. I sympathize with you APH.

I believe the KBS Tour V 90 stiff will be more stout than the Nippon Modus 105. So, you should be happy with your choice. I use the Nippon Modus 105 in my irons and the Nippon Modus 115 Wedge shaft in my wedges and love them. The feel is phenomenal to me. Good luck and lower scores with your new irons!

After a long while I have finally ordered a new set of irons. This is big for me as I've LOVED my i210 from MGS testing and had a great amount of success with them. However it was time for an update. After superspeed training the nippon 105 shafts felt a bit softer and instead of just updating the shaft I figured I'd treat myself to a new set. 

It will still likely be 2 weeks before they arrive and figured I'd have some fun with this as a teaser to see what everyone thinks I took a dive into. @GolfSpy_BOS @Golfspy_CG2 no cheating as you guys know what I got!

Maybe in a few days or so I'll open it up to see if anyone can guess the specs I went with. 

The only hint that I'll give is that I did a self fit with these. Didn't have the time to do a full fit with someone. Thankfully I know my swing and specs well enough that I can make an informed decision and place the order with confidence. 

I'm more interested in your shaft selection being as you feel the 105's are now soft feeling due to your speed training. Can you share what you decided to go with?

[GolfTEC vs. True Spec]

If you haven't been fitted yet give Jim McCleery a call. He's a clubfitter/builder in Waverly, OH.  I think that you would enjoy the experience.  He knows his stuff. His site is McGolf on roadrunner.net.  Look him up.  It will be worth your time.

That’s what I was thinking. Some lead tape and a trip to the driving range to experiment. I can’t figure out why it happens with my woods/hybrids and not my irons? The swing weights on my irons are lower, so I may be looking at this all wrong, but no harm in trying.

The other thing to look at is what are the shafts that you are playing your irons and what shafts you are playing in your driver/fairways; specifically the weight of the shafts.  The balance point of your iron shafts is likely different than your diver/fairway shafts inducing this lighter feeling.  Something to look at.  Also playing with the lead tape on your driver/fairways is a good exercise.  Do you have a swing weight scale?

[Titleist Blind Ball Test Thread]

I noticed that the dimple sizes and patterns are definitely different.  The one almost reminded of a hex pattern ala Hex Chrome.  Anybody else see that?

[Are OEM's beginning to shoot themselves in the foot with MSRPs?]

Manufacturer's prices for materials may have increased...or not.  That is what they tell us.  And even if they did, wages have not increased at the same rate the they are increasing their prices.  Sooner or later that is going to catch up to them.  It may well come to the choice of being able to eat or buy new golf equipment.  Let me guess which one will win out.

No 6-iron,huh?  What covers the gap between your 5 and 7 irons?

[LEAD TAPE! Show me your pics!]

Yes sir, love me some lead tape.  Best invention since the Vardon Flyer!

Are they softer or firmer feeling compared to the irons? 

To me they felt just a shade firmer.  But I did have a different shaft in it than in my TE's, so that may be a small part of the difference in feel also. They don't feel bad, just a little different to me.   Your results may vary.  I would not hesitate to recommend them. 

[Maltby Tour grind MG wedges]

Nedpepper,

I'm with you on the Maltby TE forged irons.  They are sweet feeling.  The TSW wedge is nice also, although it doesn't feel quite the same as the TE iron.  TSW is made from 1025C carbon steel and the TE is made from1035 Carbon steel.  The TSW looks really good behind the ball.  Order yourself the TSW head and the shaft that you want and assemble it yourself.  That is what I did.  I don't think that you will be disappointed with the TSW.
