Moving them or a mishit?I have not moved my weights since my fitting. I’ve considered moving them towards the toe for mishits but it hasn’t happened yet
It’s such a good feeling. I have a V grind on both my 50 and 54. They cut through anything.That was a weird range session to test out weight positions. Given enough swings I can adjust to any position but in the toe I have more of a tendency to slide the club head under the ball and come up way short. Center was pretty good and I was having a hard time picking a location until I started hitting partial iron swings in between to mix it up.
I guess with the weight in the center or toe there’s something that changes in my swing that causes me to shank partials with any other club. I didn’t have that issue with the weight in the heel. I don’t hit partials often, but I use them and I can’t be out there shanking chip shots. Heel weighting wins for me.
During our end of round wedge contest cool down I told my son to hit my 58. His wide eyed response was “Oh my god, that felt good.” I think the previous descriptions of “dense” fits best. It’s not clicky, but it’s not buttery either. It’s just got that firm but soft feel that’s hard to describe. Whatever word describes it, it’s a good feel. V grind on order.
I don’t get it. It’s like secret stuff happens and I have no idea what it is. I’m sure I could get on a Trackman and figure it out but I’m sold on heel weighting.Weight location is pretty crazy huh?
I miss towards the toe occasionally and those come up short. I thought the weight could help with thatMoving them or a mishit?
Another solid outing with the SMS wedges last night, including lipping out with 2 greenside chips with the 60° P-grind. Had one of the guys I was playing with ask about the “circles” on the wedges, and he was both curious about what the weights could do, and complimentary on my use of the SMS around the greens. Going to take some solid evidence to prove to me that there’s a better fit for my bag in these slots.
It’s been a ton of fun and your journey is awesome and not complete. Can’t wait to see what the future holdsPretty decent outing today with the SMS wedges. Hit some really decent full swing shots, including a near mirror of the wedge I needed on #18, except this time I put it about 15’ closer. I ended up in about the same spot on #14 I was yesterday (about 40 yards out) where I chipped in for birdie, and this one was tracking for eagle.

These have been a blast to play this year, and as my short game has improved, and I’ve learned some new shots around the green, the SMS have delivered. I’ve had more kick-in pars and birdies than I can count, and have had a chip drop with every wedge I got at this years Quest Cup. If I had to pick a favourite out of the bunch, I’d probably pick the P-grind. I wouldn’t have had myself pegged as a low-bounce wedge guy, but this has really helped me improve my bunker play, given me more options while short sided on some tough greens at my home course, and given me a new weapon on those 40-50 yard touch shots. If you’re looking for some new wedges this year, I would heavily suggest Edel, especially if you can go through the fitting process. Admittedly, that’s one of the things I wish I could have gone through, but my scorecards, compliments from playing partners about my short game, and plummeting handicap over the past 2 seasons have softened that sting. @JB @EdelBlake I appreciate the opportunity to test these out .

The D-grind is my favorite. Nothing really else out there like it.The more I mess around the D Grind, the more I really like it. Really versatile and seems to match my movement for partial shots.
I’ve yet to find a grind better with the combination of protection and versatility yet from any other offeringsThe D-grind is my favorite. Nothing really else out there like it.
It’s pretty unique. Definitely much more forgiving than I expected on full & partial swings, but versatile enough that I was able to use it for touch shots and bunker play on occasion.The more I mess around the D Grind, the more I really like it.

This is where I am. I did the wedge matrix on SkyTrak+ earlier with it and it was so damn consistent, but the grind itself seems to promote such clean contact for me, compared to a few others I have tried.It’s pretty unique.
