Edel SMS irons have been announced.They feature Edel’s Swing Match system weighting.Retail price is $250 per iron.Availability begins July 21.

If you’ve seen the company’s wedges, the story behind the new Edel SMS irons probably won’t surprise you. For Edel, not only does the SMS iron provide an opportunity to refresh its iron lineup with its movable weight technology but it also gives it a much-needed variable-length offering to sit alongside the SLS single-length offering.

We’ll dig into the tech in more detail but the signature feature of the Edel SMS irons is that it leverages movable weight (as part of the fitting process) to dial in the best center-of-gravity location for each golfer.

It’s a point of differentiation unique to Edel. It’s the reason why the company states, “Your irons can’t do this.” The question golfers must answer for themselves is, “Do they need to?”

OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME

Are you a putter fanatic? If a new putter comes to market, do you instantly jump on it? Or is your putting so atrocious that you’ll try anything to hole more putts?

In either case, perhaps I can pique your interest with two unique putters: L.A.B. Golf’s Directed Force 2.1 and Evnroll’s ER Zero.

Let’s take a look to see how they stacked up in 2022 Most Wanted Mallet testing.

VERDICT

Here is the skinny: Being able to return the putter face back to square is a game changer. It allows your putts to roll more consistently, be on target more consistently and, as a by-product, potentially make more putts. Same concept, two different OEMs (did I say that out loud?). What’s not to like?

Aesthetics. Neither of these putters is going to gain compliments from your playing partners. During testing, I heard ‘branding iron”, a few ‘WTFs”… You get the picture. If you can overcome aesthetics, one of these putters might work for you.
