Edison Forged Wedges Review

Edison Forged wedges are a more forgiving option for your scoring clubs, designed specifically to provide you better feel and distance control. Wedge mastermind Terry Koehler delivers once again on an incredible wedge offering, packing everything he knows about wedge design into these clubs.

I recently had the opportunity to test a set of Edison Forged wedges both on the range and golf course. Let’s take a deeper look.

Edison Forged Wedge Design and Tech

Wedges don’t leave a ton of room for innovation or bells and whistles, but Koehler’s expertise and decades of wedge design experience are showcased with Edison. These 100% forged wedges are designed to boost distance where you needed it while offering massive forgiveness in a part of your bag that is often overlooked.

We’ve heard the refrain before: if you aren’t playing muscle back or blade irons, why are you playing wedges in that category? Players everywhere can benefit from a “cavity back” or more forgiving wedge, if they are open enough to try something new. Edison wedges land somewhere in the middle in terms of traditional categorical design.

Each wedge features the patented Koehler Sole — a design that is reminiscent of the V-sole found in many wedge offerings over the years. While slightly different in shape, this sole still offers multiple bounce profiles on the same club, which all but eliminates the need for wedges with different grinds and bounce types. This highly versatile detail in the Edison wedges is perhaps my favorite aspect of their build.

To increase forgiveness, the Edison wedges have an ultra-high center of mass that will improve your distance control and increase your spin. And because they’re more forgiving on off-center hits, they’ll make your bad shots more like your good shots. In fact, Koehler moved 25% of the wedge’s mass to the upper face of the club to boost ball speeds and forgiveness across the face.

The reason for this redistribution of mass is simple: average golfers don’t make consistent contact on the face, even with wedges. Making the face more uniform in thickness and mass — as opposed to “blade” wedges, where most of the weight is near the leading edge — allows players more room to make contact without losing distance or accuracy.

Feel and Performance

As someone who has played many types of wedges over the years, including those designed by Koehler, I was intrigued to see what Edison Golf had to offer. I was not disappointed.

The wedges are slightly heavier than my gamers, providing a solid, sturdy feel throughout the swing. The wedges still appear compact and “thinner” at address despite having significantly more forgiveness than what I was currently playing. The Edison wedges brushed satin finish also look fantastic with no glare in direct sunlight.

At impact, the Edison wedges felt soft, muted, and exactly how you’d expect a forged club should feel. The wedges cut through the turf nicely, omitting a percussive sound at impact as the golf ball jumps off the face. Shot trajectory (contingent on loft, of course) was a bit lower than my gamers, but piercing and controllable.

Spin was excellent on well-struck shots, and even those that were caught high on the face. Greenside control was also outstanding, allowing me to play any shot I wanted from multiple lies. Laying the wedge open, however, seemed a bit “chunky” at address as the leading edge does sit off the ground a bit. I imagine Edison would be able to grind that down for you, if preferred.

Overall Impression

I was very impressed with the Edison wedges overall, especially during my round. The weighting of each club was perfect, allowing me to swing on repeat with a consistent feel and expected shot outcome. All things considered, with the possible exception of greenside chipping feel, the Edison Forged wedges outperformed my gamers in almost every category.
