Let me know if you get that, something is different in a good way feeling, once they get you in the right adjustable weight setting.

Also, i forgot to mention, even though I got fit into one of the "lower grind" Edel wedges, that "lower grind" is still higher bounce that many other wedges out on the market, about 12 degrees. So its not like an ultra low bounce Vokey wedge or anything like that.

David Edel always points out that the stamped bounce on major OEM wedges is only for vanity, never the actual bounce, then add to that the “effective” bounce on any shot and the number varies depending on what type of shot is hit.

The moveable weights is really am intriguing design!

Question @dlow206 - while you were hitting balls, were they all from the same spot .. eg. driving range .. or did you move around to different lies / different shots around a practice green..?

All from the driving range. Also, was hitting off of a mat, but the two fitters were watching how the wedge was interacting with the mat (if that makes sense). It would have been cool to hit from different lies, but hitting off the mat did provide a good apples to apples comparison between setups.

Yeah, didn't have words for it, it was just really really good. None of the other weight settings were like bad, but the right setting was just awesome.

Really cool to see the results of a good fitting.  Glad you saw such great results in the fit and I look forward to your "how'd you play" posts with some on course updates!

Any idea on lead time before you'll get yours?  I know the industry is all over the place for that.

I might have missed it in your post, but: what sort of lies were you hitting from? I'm assuming grass and not mats, but did they have you hit bunker shots, tight lies, etc.?

From a mat, but they were closing watching how the club was interacting with the mat. I know mats can be misleading, especially for those that hit the ground before the ball, but I've been tending to almost pick the ball.

Its not a perfect fitting in the sense of being able to hit shots from different lies and bunkrs, etc.

Thanks for the info, it will help me self assess.  I purchased several Edel SMS wedges recently (54 & 58 V-Grinds w/MODUS 105 shafts) and I've played them as they came (the heavier weight in the center) for five rounds.  Have to tell you, I love how they feel/perform.  Now I'm going to move the heavier weight to the toe and play five rounds with that configuration and compare the two results, and so on.  I've always been a Cleveland wedge guy, although I tried Vokey's some years back (just didn't work for me), but I have to say I'm really impressed with these SMS wedges. The leading edge appears to sit more square/flush with the ground than the Cleveland's, and that's really appealing to my eye (who would have known?)   Throwing darts from 60-90 yards makes them appealing, but my great discovery is my touch on delicate shots right around the green is much improved.  Getting up and down more frequently than usual, such I remember I may have even wept a tear of joy after one particular short sided, severely down hill chip from deep rough, stopped 4 inches from the hole.  If your current wedges are not your soul mate, and it's about time for new ones, I strongly suggest you consider Edel SMS wedges.  Happy Golfing 😃
