Edison Golf launches new Edison 2.0 wedges

Published

on

Terry Koehler broke back into the equipment space with the Edison Forged wedge in 2020. The long-time equipment designer and industry veteran (Reid Lockhart, Eidolon, SCOR, Ben Hogan) sought to bring a more consistent, forgiving wedge to market that was engineered for the majority of golfers, not tour professionals.

Now, Koehler and Edison are launching Edison 2.0 wedges, drawing on the feedback of thousands of golfers on the original model and a multi-year study of recreational golfer performance.

“For over 40 years, I have been puzzled as to why golfers are forced to suffer from the inefficiencies of ‘tour design’ wedges,” says Terry Koehler, Chairman and Director of Innovation at Edison Golf. “Robotic testing consistently proves even the newest iterations of these traditional wedge designs are less forgiving than even a tour blade short iron. Our research reveals that less than 10 percent of golfers consider their wedge play a strength of their games…and the wedges they play are a big reason why.”

New five-times forged, Edison 2.0 wedges continue to position more mass higher in the clubhead. Owing to a multi-level back design, an additional 14-17 grams of weight have been positioned higher in the clubhead for improved smash factor across the face, particularly on shots struck higher in the face and toward the toe of the club. This is particularly helpful on full shots, Koehler says, as most amateurs wedge shots miss high and short.

Not surprisingly, Koehler has a few thoughts on the current trend among major OEMs of moving weight higher in a wedge.

“I’ve been pursuing dramatic changes in wedge design for over 30 years. While it’s flattering to see all the major brand wedges finally beginning to position a tiny bit more mass higher in their wedge clubheads, none are anywhere close to the Edison 2.0. In fact, none of today’s wedges are even to the point where my Reid Lockhart wedges were in the 1990s,” says Koehler. “A caliper measurement of the face thicknesses of any major brand wedge to my historic wedge designs proves that I have led this design concept for decades. The Edison 2.0 wedges are generations ahead of everyone else.”

Edison 2.0 wedges are also equipped with an improved version of the Koehler Sole, which Koehler originally patented over 30 years ago. Both high and low bounce areas are built into the wedge for maximum versatility and performance across a variety of swing paths.

Koehler doesn’t believe choosing a grind or bounce fitting is beneficial to the average golfer because “the texture of the turf, the array of possible lies your ball can find and every golfer’s divot pattern are all variable.”

Edison 2.0 wedges a new warm pearl chrome finish for a softer surface with reduced glare. The company also describes the finish as “slicker,” that is, better equipped to channel away moisture and offer greater resistance to the ball sliding up the club face.

Pricing, specs, and availability

As with the original Edison Forged, all Edison 2.0 wedges are backed by the company’s 30-day risk-free trial AKA “If for any reason it’s not the best wedge you’ve ever played, Edison Golf will buy it back.”

Wedges are available in odd-numbered lofts from 45 to 59 degrees, which can be bent to even-numbered lofts.

All clubs are custom built and a variety of premium shafts and grips are available.

  • $199.95 for steel shafts
  • $214.95 for graphite shafts

Wedges are available exclusively via the company’s website.

    Did someone buy the dual bounce name, in this piece I see it’s now called the Koehler Sole I thought TK patented it under Reid Lockhart?

    When the Edison line first came out I felt like maybe they’d jumped the shark. Timing of course was really bad with 2020 issues but at first glance these seem to fit the visual aesthetic I can’t wait to get some to play with.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
