Edel Putters

[McGary6]

Anyone have any experience with Edel putters? I was trying one today and really liked it. The Brick was deadly accurate for me.

Been gaming an Edel Willamette for 2 seasons now. While I may be a club "ho" everywhere else in the bag, you'll have to pry this baby out of my cold, dead hands.

 

The fitting process is what makes this thing. The fitting was the most thorough and logical process I've ever experienced - wrote a blog post on it last year, I'll dig up the link.

 

Can't recommend Edel enough - 5 Stars all the way!!

Awesome, thank you. I fell in love with the Brick as soon as I held it. The torque balancing and counter weighting feel great and I love that there is no shaft offset like a face balanced putter usually has. It has zero alignment marks but to my surprise, you don't need any. I'm going to get one. Any one looking for a Futura X7M? I know where you can get one cheap.

OH Johnboy talked my wife into getting me and Edel last year for my birthday and Christmas. had my best season putting ever. I really like mine as well. I went with the E2 torque balanced love the fitting and it just works.

Where does Edel have fitting centers? We carry a ton of stuff, but no Edel.

Most Golf Galaxy stores are certified fitters, otherwise you'll have to check Edel's website

I have a Edel Willamette similar to Johns (Barbajo). My model is not a torque-balanced model. As custom options I have the pixel incert face, a couple of stamps, and custom color.

 

Is this putter the greatest thing since sliced bread. Not to me. I'll say it again.... I'm a good putter if nothing else. I don't putt any better or worse with the Edel. In fact I putt just as well with my old OTR $39 Academy Oydessy #9. The fitting process is nothing shocking or revolutionary. They place a laser pointer like you can buy at Office Depot on a round plastic puck and let it reflect off a mirror on your putter face back to a green piece of square cloth about 10 feet away. You hit putts and try different heads, shafts, etc. You'll putt to a string laid across the floor. They will weight the putter to your liking/feel put a grip of your choice on it and you're done pretty much. It's not rocket science.

 

I was fit for my putter at Edel headquarters and that might have not been ideal. To be honest I expected a professional studio setup. And again to be honest.... Edel Headquarters is a machine shop not a fitting studio. But you'd think they'd have a studio!? I suppose in the end; the experience/location of the fitting didn't match the premium. If I can paint a picture think for instance Club Champion or Modern Golf versus someones cluttered dirty garage. Are Edel putters good? Yes. Are they good looking? Yes. Are they a game changer? No. Was I expecting a game changer? No. Did Edel sell me a putter? No. I bought it.

Thanks for the info guys, just placed my order for a custom blacked-out Edel Brick putter.

You made the correct decision McGary! I've been a huge advocate of this brand over the years and game a custom Edel Willamette putter and their wedges. These are the best short game clubs I've ever had. Highly recommend them! I would love to see a thread with your thoughts on that putter once you get it. The brick is intriguing...

[jayjay0808]

I've rolled a few Edel's over the last year. They are an absolute dream. One day... One day!

[Sschaffer24]

Just make sure you get to a trained fitter. These putters all are based on the eye of the fitter and it's hugely important you keep than in mind!

 

That being said when I had my professionally tested on Quintec the putter hit every spec desired perfectly for me, so id say their system works considering there are no launch monitors/data collected.

I'm looking forward to hearing what you boys think about these putters 🏻

If you check out Barbajo's link that will give you a review and I'll try to find my review of my experience and post it here. If I don't get to it just go to the putter buzz section and search. It's amazing!

Care to post any pictures of the Willamette putter? Curious what these look like but a google search did not show much.

I'm thinking Cobra's single length irons will get a long hard look.

 

Callaway will dominate the driver talk.

 

No one cares about fairways or hybrids or rather they get lost in the shuffle of the other equipment.

 

Is like to see EVNroll putters getting lots of love. The technology is very different from other putters and Guerin Rife is a name.

Here's what mine looks like...

 

I had a couple more to show but the uploader is acting funky today. Anyway... there she be. Also, I might consider selling it. Not cheap though. $$$

cool, thanks. I like the name of the putter since it is a nod to my home state. Can't spend anymore money on golf equipment at the moment.

I've had my eye on "The Brick" ever since I rolled one at the PGA Merchandise show.  I actually find sightlines on putters distracting, and there aren't many out there without them.

 

I think I'll have to treat myself to a fitting at Totally Driven early this spring...

I would love to have a putter fitting, but I haven't found a putter that I like with a weight that comes close to what I think I need.  I would hate to waste the money on a fitting when the only putters that would be available are too light.  Maybe a properly fit lighter-weight putter would work, but I don't know if I am ready to take that challenge yet.

 

Maybe if you go to Totally Driven, you could ask them about putter head weights above 400 grams.

Kenny, Edel has a chat line on their website, so I asked them about head weights.  They don't have anything that heavy, even using their weight kits, but he said they also do internal shaft weighting and with a fitting you might still be able to get the feel you're looking for.  Just a thought.

That's what I have found to be typical of most putters, which is why I have done the fitting.  A forum member from a couple of years ago (can't remember his name) said that I probably need something around 400 gram head weight with a 100 gram weight at the grip.  If they only put weight in the shaft, that makes the head feel even lighter.  I am going to keep experimenting.

 

Whenever I go to a golf store, any of them, I always look at all the putters.  I can pick one up; make a couple of swings; and know pretty much if I like it or not.  About 95% not.  I just can't bring myself to buy any putter, especially an expensive one, when I know that the head weight is less than what I think feels good.

My third one is on the way! Currently game a brick, but just ordered a swan neck. Can't argue with $400 for a premium, handmade putter with a leather grip on it!

[PMookie]

Heading to my teacher Friday AM to go through a putter eval. He fits for Edel so we'll see what happens! I'm excited to get a really good look at my putting stroke, aiming, and putter itself. Lord knows, that's the club that could help with the biggest gains on the course the quickest!

Where are the first 2?

The Brick is #2. #1 was sold.

I've been practicing indoors with my new Brick, due to the less than ideal weather here in the northeast, and I am still completely impressed with the balanced, smooth stroke. I've been using the new Bridgestone e6 Soft balls and I feel as though I have a much higher degree of control with the Brick compared to my old putter. I can't wait to get a few real rounds on the Brick.

I just finished my putter fitting for an Edel... My aim with my Seemore Giant was 6" left and the straight-in hosel was adding a ton of loft based on my set-up, hands, and swing type! Wow. Eye-opening experience!!!!
