The Edison Challenge: Featuring Edison 2.0 Wedges

Our picks for Most Wanted Wedges were just released and it just so happens we have one of the contestants in line for member testing!  We are very excited to be looking for four testers to test, review, compare and keep two Edison 2.0 wedges. 

Edison makes some bold claims with their Edison 2.0 wedge, claiming the “Koehler Sole” is the most versatile sole in the category offering a “high bounce angle in the front of the sole with a low bounce angle on the rear portion.”  They also claim to be forgiving and better suited to the amateur golfer.  “Instead of catering to the needs of tour pros, the EDISON 2.0 wedges were designed around the way you play the game. They have the most efficient distribution of clubhead mass in the category to deliver unmatched distance control and forgiveness for any level golfer – with added spin and more penetrating trajectories a likely bonus.”

Bottom line: Edison feels their wedges “deliver more forgiveness, improved distance control and enhanced spin, all without compromising precision, feel, or versatility.” 

We want you to put these claims to the test to let us know how these wedges not only perform over the testing period but also how they perform against your current wedges.  The Edison 2.0 wedges are offered in lofts from 45 to 60 degrees with the option to have the lie angle adjusted to best fit your swing. Edison offers two premium shafts as stock options, KBS Tour steel shafts (110R and 120S) and KBS PGI graphite shafts (70,80, and 90). The Lamkin Crossline in standard or midsize is their stock grip.

this would be interesting to compare. I run my irons at 12 yard gaps down to a set matched gw, but then my two wedges at 15 yards so I can play a 60. They would put me at 54, and 58, which would be 12 yard gaps through my whole set. If I were selected I wonder if I go with what they fit me to or what I currently play. I should get a reach out from their fitting consultant, so we’ll see. I have always wanted to try the v sole though. I was going to buy hogan equalizers before they went out of business.

This is great… To be Frank I am basically lazy. Need new wedges; my current Cobra SnakeBites are gaming me instead of me gaming them… Been going back and forth between Indie’s and Edison’s. Was leaning towards Indie’s after reading the latest testing reviews. I will now wait for the reviews on the Edison’s before doing fitting. Kinda hope the Edison’s test well as I am biased in favor of Texas and Texas products. Edison is on the Texas Riviera which is spitting distance from me ( using Texas distance metrics ).

Hey, Edison WedgeFit specialist here. This is another case of the WedgeFit tool not knowing about your set matched GW at 51°, so it's making the recommendation to have consistent 4° gaps based on your PW loft. We don't think set matched wedges give golfers the best opportunity to score well because the technology that makes those irons so great is counterintuitive for a wedge. In most cases, it's actually opposite of our design so our WedgeFit tool is built to suggest replacements for anything under PW and we find that a lot of our customers come back to replace their PW too.

I get their emails and have almost been tempted to buy an Edison wedge.  I would love to try these out first and see how they compare to my Vokey and Taylormade wedges.  My wedge game is my strength, but always looking for something that can improve it.  And what better birthday present could you give me than to announce that I'm a tester on my birthday.  Thanks for a great website and always keeping us in the loop!

These wedges are very intriguing and I would love to give them a try.  I love playing with different wedges and I would love to see how these play.  I already have a gap wedge at 50* so the 53* and 57* would be great and very fun to try.

48° is suggested because you put in that your pitching wedge was a 44°...

Iron set wedges are counterintuitive in wedge design because the technology that makes your game improvement irons so great is exactly the opposite of what a true scoring wedge should be.

Seems like the quiz has room for improvement then.

1: To account for non set matched (but still in the bag) Gap and Approach Wedge.

2: To include more club style options because I don't actually have game improvement irons. That was just the closest option to what my irons are. The only other options in the quiz were traditional/modern blades or SGI. Tour Edge describes my irons as "Player's Distance" with a "player's preferred shape". Player's CB and MB are also not options.Screenshot_20230922_105943_Firefox.jpg.c8d4c8a453ec5aef23afeb2955fec4d8.jpg

We will see. I just grew up playing traditional lofts so I tend to prefer the set matched because it is a similar loft to my old pitching wedge and feels comfortable. I guess we will see if I get picked and I can compare to my 55, 60 for now. Granted my 55 is a 15 yard gap of my gap wedge. Maybe trying 54, 58 would be good to see if I am better with 12 yard gaps from 4-lw.

Really appreciate the feedback and will definitely pass it on, there's always room for improvement! Our WedgeFit tool is designed to give you the three or four best wedges for your bag, usually starting with the PW. It doesn't allow for other wedges to be included because a huge chunk of our customers are there to purchase a full set and replace anything they have at that end of their bag. It can never be a perfect tool, but being that we're currently online only it is a good starting point to begin the discussion on what you need in the bag. The style of your irons doesn't have to be super specific, it just gives us an idea of the golfer we're dealing with. The C722 are hard to categorize based on those options though, I'll see about adding more categories to it! Thanks again for your input and good luck!
