So these turned up in the post today - great delivery time to the UK! Won't have a chance to hit them for another day or so, but I'm playing at the weekend so will aim to get to the course early for a

Looking forward to spring to put these to work. Just got them today.  I’ve had Edel wedges before but tried another brand for a while and missed how versatile and great these are.

It's official. I'm joining the Edel wedge golf club. Just ordered a 50°, 55, and 60° to replace my current Callaway MD2 wedges. I'm assuming it'll be a couple of weeks until they show up, but I'l

I don't believe Phil has his hands extremely in front of the club face - so he can use the bounce - of course, the more your hands are in front of the club face, the less you will engage the bounce unless you flip.

Yes, that's my recollection of what Phil does, too, for those higher chips.

Is there a list of shafts that we can see before going in for the fitting? There's quite a few, so I'm assuming that the list of shafts probably crosses every brand/type imaginable.

Nice video, mvmac.

My first thought was that it looks like the technique Stan Utley advocates in his short game book.  I might give that technique a try as i'm struggling a bit with the 'hold' part of the mickelson technique that my pro taught me.

Yes every shaft you can imagine putting in a wedge.  I got the DG Spinners and Erik I think got KBS wedge shafts.

Yes, Dave and Erik did a great job with it, similar to Utley from what I've seen of him on youtube.

Good to hear. I'm gaming the WV115 and I hope to find something in a similar shaft profile.

I'm pretty pumped about the fitting. My wedges weren't really "fit" unlike my other clubs, so this will complete my set. Plus I think it's awesome to be a part of something that's very new and promising.

If I remember I'll try to post a list of the shafts I have right now. Couple of people have fit into the Rifle 4.5 (oddly soft, but pretty good at controlling height without feeling boardy).

As Mike said, I have the KBS C-Taper S in mine.

I'm curious as to whether you have the KBS CT in your irons or have used them in irons before, and if you use the same flex through the set? I'm wondering if they'll play similar to Dynamic Gold in terms of flex, obviously with a lower launch and spin. And how do you like the CT in wedges, whether you use a softer flex than your irons or match them? I want to build a club or two with those shafts and wonder if using the same flex and model for the full set would work.

I think going with the same flex is fine but I like the idea of going with a 1/2-full flex softer for the wedges.  I know pros do the same, will go with S-400 or S-300 shafts in their wedges.  Erik plays X flex in his irons.

Is it a good idea to have one low bounce wedge in your set to get the ball out of bunkers where the sand is hard and compact?  I live in England - it rains a lot!

I just picked up my 50 and 54 degree wedges an hour ago..(see my avatar for one of them.  )  [SIZE=11pt][COLOR=1F497D][FONT=calibri][FONT=calibri]54 with 16 degrees of bounce  and 50 with 12 degrees of bounce.... both Driver grinds.  I will order the next one shortly once I decide whether I want a 58 or 60 degree wedge.[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

Just finished a member/invitational at a course where the greens were stimping at 14 feet 10 inches. My wedges were a life saver in getting the ball to hold the greens. I hit some shots I never hit before. (of course, once on the greens, putting was a nightmare. I have never been so mentally fatigued as I was after 3 days of greens that speed)

Good to hear.  Around how much bounce is on the nippers? 10 degrees?

      I would if I wasn't going to be in Pinehurst during that time. That sounds fun. Keep me posted in the future if the dates do not align with my yearly golf trip. This sounds like a fun time. Thanks for the offer!

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By saevel25 ·

      Not necessarily. You can hit up on the ball, and if you take a 10-degree driver and close it down to 5 degrees and swing out like 10 degrees. You can hit some nasty snap hooks. (been there and done that 😉).  Might not help with the duck hook. Swinging up more can cause a person to swing out, which will cause it to hook more. Swinging down and left (a fade or slice path) feel might be better. I had a nasty hook for a while, to play functional golf, I had to feel like I was swinging like 20 degrees outside to in through impact. I would hit it straight. The swing felt like I was hitting down, but the ball went normal trajectory.  Feel isn't real. I wouldn't suggest mechanisms that cause the ball to draw more to someone who is duck hooking the ball.  Again, to the OP, create a My Swing thread, and lets some of us get some eyes on the swing for more concrete suggestions.

      Pulling Irons, Slicing Driver

      By saevel25 ·

      @HitemHard, The first thing that I am going to say is, "feel is not real". This has been proven true with video, and now systems like GEARS which can accurately measure and track the golf swing. A lot of what you said will likely not translate to the original poster unless they are fluent in biomechanics. This is the struggle with those who are technically knowledgeable trying to explain to people who have no knowledge of the subject. Talking in terms of external rotation, and supination, is all and good, but it does nothing to give a proper visual or is even relevant to someone who actually wants to fix their swing. I have been through many lessons with a great instructor, and watched good YouTube sources, and believe me they DUMB DOWN the technical aspects of the golf swing because I and the rest of us do not need it.  That being said,  I would disagree with this. It probably is dependent on the golfer. example, I am very right side dominant. So, I feel things much more in terms of right wrist angles. This means that I control the clubface by feeling the general position of my hands and my right hand. So, my existence disproves this statement as the only way to control the golf club.  Yea, I am going to disagree here.  First again, feel is not real. For some, the feel of the left hand pointed to the sky will produce a club position way out of position. For me, I had to feel like the back of my left hand faced away from my body. On video, this got the club in a good position. Again, feel is not real.  I do not believe the body pulls the club through impact. PGA tour players get their hands down FAST from the top of the downswing. The hands need to accelerate to a high rate of speed before they start to slow down before the hands get through impact. This happens in a very short window. The hands are not passive.  That all being said that entire post was pretty non-sensical to me. I think most people would struggle to understand it.  To answer the OP's question.  A slice and a pull are the same swing but with clubface control differences. If you square the face to the path, then you pull it. If you do not, then you slice it.  The issue is a pathing issue. That can be caused by many things. As was posted above, having the OP start a My Swing thread, posting their swing would be more beneficial.
