Tester Wanted: Edison Wedges! Sign Up Here!

[GolfSpy_BEN]

Just when you thought we were done, another opportunity has presented itself. Thanks to @PMookie! Who has graciously offered up the wedges he just finished testing for another member to test out, as they didn't quite meet his specific needs. Here are the specs:

Edison Wedges

Lofts:53 & 57 degrees

Shafts: KBS Tour S

Length: 1/2" over standard

Grips: Standard

  So interested in being our next tester for these wedges? You need to have all of the following to be in consideration. 

• Photo of current set and why they are your gamer set
• What would make you the ideal tester for these wedges?

That's it! We will be going through candidates and the reviews over the next few days and contacting the selected tester before the end of next week. 

*Shipping expenses to be paid by the new tester.
*Wedges can be re-shafted and/or re-gripped at new testers expense, if they so choose. 
*Full testing requirements are still expected for this testing opportunity.

Im Left Handed. So there's that

[GolfSpy_APH]

I think it is worth noting that for the previous 3 Re-Tests we have had we have selected members that have all be part of the forum for a month or less. Follow the instructions, make a good post that gets noticed and your chances are high! We want to get these in the hands of new members for you to see what they can do and you can show us how good of a reviewer you are! 

[TJ Hall]

Another great opportunity and why this community is awesome!

Would be great to test this!! Can’t wait

[CFreddie]

Another reason why this community is AWESOME. Good luck to all that enter!

[Chip Witch]

That is the part of my game I am desperately trying to "iron" out and going to be in the market for new wedges! 

[Jack Jordan]

great opportunity to try something different. JJ

[ChitownM2]

great to see more people getting the opportunity to test and review....too bad the season is over here in Chicago.  Played yesterday and it was way too cold and sloppy so I'm officially done for 2023, only simulator golf now until the temps start creeping towards 50 now

[TuffGolfer]

Thats so cool to pass it forward. Those are really the perfect degrees for my set. Would love to try them out

I am assuming that the 4 of you are applying to be able to test these wedges.  If so, just some friendly advice:  you need to reread the first post since you didn’t follow the instructions that explained what you need to do to be considered.

Thanks @cnosil

We really aren't looking for much. Profile photo and to follow the instructions in the post. 

Unfortunately for those who can't follow those simple steps it gives us little if any confidence in selecting them for the test.

No problem,  if they can’t follow the simple instructions in the first post, doing the testing and following the testing instructions would be impossible

Which I mean is too bad because we are begging to get these in the hands of someone new, fresh and who likely feels they have no chance at being selected. 

Fingers crossed for the rest!

[Schobel0804]

I would love to test the wedges. I only have a 60 degree wedge. I would love to test other degrees of wedges. Please keep me in consideration as a tester.

[Taylorrhoule]

I game a 55, There aren't better wedges for mid handicaps. Have fun guys!

Quick question,  did you read the instructions in the first post on what you need to do to apply for this opportunity?  

[Josh Parker]

Come on folks, who remembers those old test that said read all instructions and sign your name and turn in your test.

So many started answering the questions before reading and failed.  

Super simple and amazing opportunity to become a tester....

I am mind blown that we have zero correct submissions for consideration. 

It's not up to me, but @Vegan_Golfer_PNW you should sign up if you're eligible. I know you've been wanting to try these and at the moment you'd have a 100% chance to get them .

Thanks Josh! I would love too as the zipcores I have are several years old. My first ever MGS test. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get out in the offseason, hence why I didn't.Maybe I should take a dip though. They are the shaft in my irons anyways.

 

 

[TJ Hall]

It’s hard to believe that there are zero entries that followed the guidelines…this is a simple one!  If you can’t follow these, there’s no chance of being picked!

Two simple things:

- Photo of current set and why they are your gamer set

- What would make you the ideal tester for these wedges?

I have no vested interest in this, they unfortunately face the wrong way for me!

[UglyBird]

Wedges are the strongest part of my game, so getting to test these would be telling. If only I could putt as well.

I play all kinds of shots with my 52°, 56° & 60° wedges from wide open for green side bunkers, short chips to 80-yard shots with a 10-yard draw on them with my 60° to a 100-yard shot that will drop like a butterfly with sore feet with either club, depending on the wind.

I can hit low screamers that hit and stop, check and dribble/roll out or rip back. 

Living on a few clear acres, I spend at least 2 hours a day with a wedge in my hand and it's scary good, so I'd love to be chosen to test and review these wedges that claim superiority.

I currently have Titleist wedges in 5208, 5610, 6008 in my bag, but have some Mizuno with lower bounces in the gap/lob, so I sometimes use those, depending on where I play.

I like as much heel and toe relief as I can get, so it's more scalpel, then wedge. On a used gap wedge, as a test, I went out into the driveway where it's hardpan and really sandy then hit a bunch of shots with a severely open face and some with the face closed and coming across my body, using the toe, to show the wear pattern. I then hit those scratched areas on my belt sander, then kept doing it until it was where I wanted it and apparently, I don't need much of a flat spot on the sole of my gap or lob wedge. 

Whenever I do get my next new wedges, I'll get as much heel/toe relief as I can get, then just repeat the process with foam balls, do the grinding, then start hitting real balls, so I don't crush the new grooves, before it's ready to use.

Best of luck to all who enter and thank you MGS for the chance to help in finding the best equipment out there through their every-player testing process.

To MGS and all of its readers/followers/subscribers...MERRY CHRISTMAS, a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! and may 2024 see amazingly positive changes/growth for us all.

PEACE!

PS As per your DUH! comments that made me go DOH!!!, I added some pics of what's I'm working with at the moment. I play em because they're in WAY better shape than what I had and they were $100 for both, so how could I say no?

The SM9 has been the biggest challenge getting it to release, because it imparts so much spin, almost too easily.

Cheers.
