Edison Golf launches new Edison 2.0 wedges

Published

on

Terry Koehler broke back into the equipment space with the Edison Forged wedge in 2020. The long-time equipment designer and industry veteran (Reid Lockhart, Eidolon, SCOR, Ben Hogan) sought to bring a more consistent, forgiving wedge to market that was engineered for the majority of golfers, not tour professionals.

Now, Koehler and Edison are launching Edison 2.0 wedges, drawing on the feedback of thousands of golfers on the original model and a multi-year study of recreational golfer performance.

“For over 40 years, I have been puzzled as to why golfers are forced to suffer from the inefficiencies of ‘tour design’ wedges,” says Terry Koehler, Chairman and Director of Innovation at Edison Golf. “Robotic testing consistently proves even the newest iterations of these traditional wedge designs are less forgiving than even a tour blade short iron. Our research reveals that less than 10 percent of golfers consider their wedge play a strength of their games…and the wedges they play are a big reason why.”

New five-times forged, Edison 2.0 wedges continue to position more mass higher in the clubhead. Owing to a multi-level back design, an additional 14-17 grams of weight have been positioned higher in the clubhead for improved smash factor across the face, particularly on shots struck higher in the face and toward the toe of the club. This is particularly helpful on full shots, Koehler says, as most amateurs wedge shots miss high and short.

Not surprisingly, Koehler has a few thoughts on the current trend among major OEMs of moving weight higher in a wedge.

“I’ve been pursuing dramatic changes in wedge design for over 30 years. While it’s flattering to see all the major brand wedges finally beginning to position a tiny bit more mass higher in their wedge clubheads, none are anywhere close to the Edison 2.0. In fact, none of today’s wedges are even to the point where my Reid Lockhart wedges were in the 1990s,” says Koehler. “A caliper measurement of the face thicknesses of any major brand wedge to my historic wedge designs proves that I have led this design concept for decades. The Edison 2.0 wedges are generations ahead of everyone else.”

Edison 2.0 wedges are also equipped with an improved version of the Koehler Sole, which Koehler originally patented over 30 years ago. Both high and low bounce areas are built into the wedge for maximum versatility and performance across a variety of swing paths.

Koehler doesn’t believe choosing a grind or bounce fitting is beneficial to the average golfer because “the texture of the turf, the array of possible lies your ball can find and every golfer’s divot pattern are all variable.”

Edison 2.0 wedges a new warm pearl chrome finish for a softer surface with reduced glare. The company also describes the finish as “slicker,” that is, better equipped to channel away moisture and offer greater resistance to the ball sliding up the club face.

Pricing, specs, and availability

As with the original Edison Forged, all Edison 2.0 wedges are backed by the company’s 30-day risk-free trial AKA “If for any reason it’s not the best wedge you’ve ever played, Edison Golf will buy it back.”

Wedges are available in odd-numbered lofts from 45 to 59 degrees, which can be bent to even-numbered lofts.

All clubs are custom built and a variety of premium shafts and grips are available.

  • $199.95 for steel shafts
  • $214.95 for graphite shafts

Wedges are available exclusively via the company’s website.

    Did someone buy the dual bounce name, in this piece I see it’s now called the Koehler Sole I thought TK patented it under Reid Lockhart?

    When the Edison line first came out I felt like maybe they’d jumped the shark. Timing of course was really bad with 2020 issues but at first glance these seem to fit the visual aesthetic I can’t wait to get some to play with.

Spotted: Putter roundup from the 2024 3M Open

Published

on

Every week we spot some really cool and custom putters out on the putting green and in tour players’ bags. This week is no slouch with some really interesting and beautiful putters being tested. Let’s take a look at some of the standouts we found.

Tyler Duncan: Scotty Cameron Phantom T-11.5 

The Phantom 11 is a pretty wild putter by Scotty’s standards with a multi-material design that boosts MOI for more forgiveness. Duncan’s T-11.5. takes the stock model and moves the shaft to the center of the putter head. We don’t mean a center shafted version, but the shaft is installed in the center, behind the face as well. We don’t have any official details on this T-11.5 but it looks like that setup should create a putter where the face points towards the hole or target, similar to a L.A.B. putter.

Zac Blair: Scotty Cameron 009.M Cameron & Co. “Longneck”

Blair might be in possession of the largest Scotty collection on tour! It seems like every week he has something new, and flat-out gorgeous, that he is trying out. I have seen a lot of 009.M putters over the years, but never one with a long plumbers neck on it. This 009 is a Masterful that utilizes additional CNC machine work to reduce the amount of hand polishing needed to complete the putter. The long, or tall, neck on the putter usually is used to reduce the amount of toe hang and make the putter more face balanced. The face contains a very shallow milling while the sole features a tour truck, tour only, diamonds, and the rare Circle L stamp. The Circle L was made for Scotty’s close friends who lost matches or games and was meant to poke a little fun at their misfortune.

Paul Barjon: PXG Prototype

There are a lot of putters out there that become so widely used and popular that other manufacturers will borrow some of the design cues. The Spider is one of those putters and it looks like PXG has made a prototype putter for Barjon that has some similar features. This proto has a tapered mallet shape with twin wings that come out from either side of the rear. Twin movable weights sit in each wing on the sole and the sole features a plate that is bolted in place at the corners. The top contains a single siteline and the face uses PXG’s advanced pyramid face structure.

Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser Broomstick #7

More and more long, counterbalanced, and alternative putters seem to be showing up recently. The long, or broomstick, putter is making a comeback and more than a few players have joined Adam Scott in using that style. Odyssey has thrown its hat in the broomstick arena with a new Ai-One Cruiser model. The head shape is the very familiar #7 model, but with the shaft going into the center of the club head. An Ai-One face is there to help keep ball speed consistent on off-center hits and three white lines are on top for framing ball and aligning the putter.

TaylorMade Spider Tour S Broomstick

Another option in the long putter is TaylorMade’s Spider Tour S broomstick that we saw around the putting green. The head looks to be a little larger than the standard Tour S and that makes sense with the broomstick-style putters demanding heads near or over 400g. A TPU Pure Roll insert is installed in the face and the shaft is a more traditional double-bend design, just much longer! There isn’t the True Path alignment on top, just a full darker grey finish with a single siteline. Two moveable weights are out in the wings of the putter to dial in the specific weight a player might want.
