I've been playing the Edison 49 since last summer.  I didn't notice much difference from the SCOR 50, so you should like them very well.  

I've been playing the Callaway PM Grind 54 and 60 for a couple of years, and I just can't replace them.  I'm using KBS Tour 90 in regular flex for shafts, and I have the same shaft in the Edison.

I have the KBS Tour 80 graphite coming in mine.

If I ever get a players iron set with only a PW, I was gonna try to nab an Edison as my gap

Okay they have arrived, now of life would co-operate I will start hitting them.

The plan is Friday!

As a quick reminder, I currently play SCORs. I have 60, 56, 52 in the bag but never use the 56. I’m replacing them with a 53 bent to 54 and 59. I’m 64, my current index is 5.6, driver SS mid 90’s so short game is huge for me, it’s how I score.

I’ve got KBS tour graphite 80’s R flex’s, 1/4 long 2 degrees flat in the Edison’s.

Here are some pics:







The last picture shows the transition from my D7 forged GW which is a 49 to the Edison.

You may notice that the Edison has the slightest of Cavity Back looks where as the SCORs are more of the slightest of MBs. The soles on the Edison’s appear a tad thicker to me as well. They are beautiful wedges. I can’t wait to get them out to the range and practice green. I hope to get three or four practice sessions in prior to getting them on the course in a couple of weeks.

Stay tuned and let me know what questions you might have.

I think you will like them.  TK says the Edison flies lower than tour wedges and has more spin.  I didn't notice either with my 49º, but I never hit my wedges high anyway.  

Question:  Did you get the TGI 80 shafts based on Edison recommendation?  Are they the logical  transition from your D7 irons?  I heard that the TGI shafts have a lower flight.  I chose to match the shaft in my 49º to the KBS Tour 90 shaft in my 54º and 60º wedges rather than the Nippon Zelos shaft my Bridgestone irons; I don't need a lower flight.  Not much difference in weight, but stiffer than my irons.

 Yes after a conversation with Billy from Edison and based upon both my current irons and the shaft that I had in my SCORs he felt that this was the right choice.  We shall see, shan't we.  For $200 a club it better be the right choice.   A huge shout out to my staff that gifted me with nearly enough for one as a Christmas present.

I'm interested in your thoughts. Not sure I love the look, but the idea of a v-style sole on a wedge seems like a winner in my book.

I thought the same thing when I got mine, but the look grows on you.  I think a set of wedges would look better.  My one lonely Edison sticks out from both my irons and my other wedges, but I don't really think about it anymore.

Well there will be a delay here - I collapsed to the floor after lifting my daughter into bed. Spent four hours in the ER last night. I have a strained Achilles’ tendon, not the worst thankfully but bad enough to set me back a couple of weeks, golf or workout wise.

In terms of looks I will get some top line views - was going to do that in the bright sunlight on the range today.

Get well soon!

Sad news @revkev.  Hope it heals quickly.

As a person that worked in national security for 35 years and paranoid about security and personal ID information, I would suggest that you remove the picture, and everyone that quoted your post should do that also.  

[CarlH 5,374]

Recover well @revkev.  I was looking forward to hear more about your trials and tribulations with the wedges.

[revkev 22,956]

You will - it will just take a couple of extra weeks. :)

Okay I went to the practice green today, don’t tell my doctor as I should be waiting until Friday. I hit chips and pitches with the 53 weakened to 54.

This club has a tough nut as it will replace my 52 bent to 53. My ARCOSS short game handicap is a 2.1 and it’s primarily because of that club.

What I didn’t like: the top line and profile appear thicker and larger than my current wedges.

What I like: The feel was great - instant accurate feedback. I actually holed two chips and knew that they could go in on impact.

I was able to add or subtract spin at will and control trajectory and distance very quickly and easily.

I holed two shots and got up and down from random lies well over half the time - however sone of that was because I putted lights out.

Friday I will try to hit some fill shots assuming my lower left leg continues to improve.

Thanks - I’m definitely ahead of schedule on recovering - I’ve learned that Tendon injuries are weird. First night I couldn’t put any weight on it, then a little but everything hurt, then a day where it felt like a permanent Charlie horse, then like the Charlie horse aftermath, the my ankle and knee. Today it was like someone was kicking me in the shin all day.

I lifted Penny from her chair last night for the first time - that was a big hurdle. :)
