Edel Golf Launches New SMS Wedges with Movable Weight Technology

Edel Golf is proud to announce the launch of a new wedge line that will revolutionize the way wedges are made, fit and played. The SMS (Swing Match System) Wedges feature three adjustable weights across the back of the sole that allow golfers to dial in the performance of the wedge by moving the weight to it’s best performing position for their swing.

“We always strive to make players better and we’re able to do that because we start with the swing and innovate forward,” said David Edel, Founder of Edel Golf. “No golfers have the same exact swing, so why have wedges essentially been a one-size-fits-all scenario for so long? By adding Swing Match Weighting, golfers can adjust the wedge to their swing instead of vice versa.”
