"With that, David Edel, founder of Edel Golf, has moved on to pursue other interests. The official statement is that “he has no affiliation or role with the company moving forward.” Make of that what you will" What I make of that is that it is not Edel Golf anymore. The designer is gone.

Duck tape it together.

Take the club to the putting green and try it. I doubt it will increase in value faster than the S&P. Play it or sell it.

They won't Most anything with the Kirkland name on it is of good quality at a reasonable price. Their wedges are well worth the price especially for beginner to intermediate and occasional players. The quality seemed to be on par with Cleveland. My problem is they do not offer left handed wedges. I bought a left handed putter in Canada. It was worth the price just did not work for me because of my stroke.

If you are a plus index and you THINK it will help do it. If you are like the rest of us it won't matter.

I once, 20 years ago, played the course from the tips. I was a decent player at the time a 4 or 5. I shot around 120 for what that is worth. Today 25 yards with a caddie. I still have a decent short game.

"My thought was to try to find a fitter at a driving range or a manufacturer demo day where I can try a few options." GOOD THINKING. What's good for the goose in this case is not good for the gander.

As the manufactures have made lofts stronger, so your 7 iron goes 10 yards further, I am not sure how many "wedges" I carry. I have a PW that is 43, a 46, 50, 54 and 58. Do I play 5 wedges?

They are not in the same "category" as G425. I525 are player's irons. G425 are hacker's irons.

PUTTING

If you are a scratch player probably if you are above a 5 or 6 probably not if you are more than a 15 it won't matter

I would put him in the second half of the top 10 probably 7 or 8. with: Player Jones, Vardon, Morris and Hagen. Behind: Hogan, Palmer, Snead, Nicholas and Woods.

I have played Thomas hybrids they are of mid to low quality. The club design has not changed in 5 to 7 years maybe more. They seem to be a internet only company selling an antiquated product. I believe they are a one or two man operation using a drop ship service. The quality is questionable AT BEST. For an all hybrid set look at the Cobra or Cleveland Turbo line. I would avoid Thomas golf go with an established reputable company.
