About Edel's SMS Irons

Clubface is king. SMS weighting gives golfers the ability to control their clubface throughout their swing to create the most efficient impact for them. Imagine having total control of your face angle by matching the SMS weights to your swing and unlocking the most accurate iron you’ve ever hit. By moving the heaviest weight on the iron to its optimal position, you’ll get total face control for increased distance, dialed-in accuracy, and ultimate iron performance. 

 

The SMS Irons feature a plasma welded maraging steel face cup to increase ball speed across the entirety of the face. Also, utilizing a forged hollow body construction for breakthrough distance, Edel has created a proprietary urethane foam fill to greater dampen vibrations and provide impeccable feel and sound.

The Edel SMS irons seem to be very customizeable (is that a word?) and should work with any shot shape you typically hit.  It also helps that the side-to-side dispersion is supposed to be tighter than your gamer irons.
Will do!  Let's get it!

[mister2cool]

1. City, State? Warren, NJ

2. Handicap? 5
3. Current iron set? PXG Gen 4 0311ST
4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? Love to try new technology, especially ones that allow me to customize. PXG's screw system is too much hassle to make changes. Edel's system is perfect. 
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Of course

4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? I've always liked the brand but never had a chance to hit any of your products. Would love to try em some day.

5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Would not be a problem for me writing and taking video documenting my thoughts about the product.

2. Handicap? 7.5
3. Current iron set? P-770’s
4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? I would love to adjust weighting to achieve better consistency. I play closer to toe side rather then center, and would love to get a little more weight behind the ball
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Absolutely I would!

2. Handicap?  7
3. Current iron set? Ping GMax
4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? I think the ability to move weight around on an iron is both unique and very innovative.  I'd like to see if I can dial in my iron play with them.  Also I'm 69 years old and play 3 to 4 times per week and you need to see how they react with a senior player.
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates?  Yes

[bsb70x7]

1. City, State?  Wichita, KS

2. Handicap?  0.6 Index 
3. Current iron set?  PXG 0311ST (milled)
4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons?  I have been doing a lot of research on these irons.  They are very attractive and unique in the marketplace.  I have enjoyed the online reviews by the various fitters and testers that have tested these -- very strong endorsements of what Edel is doing.  The movable weights are cutting edge and will give me the flexibility to dial in each individual iron depending on my impact positions (heel on the short irons, mid-face on the mid and long irons).  I especially like the reduce offset of these irons.  Chomping at the bit to be a tester.   Please pick me.
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates?  Yes, I would provide great details based on my experience.  I have ready access to Trackman and can post all the data from moving the weights around, as well as on the course performance.  I like to go head to head with my current games in providing reviews.

4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons?

I've always been interested in Edel's unique technologies (putters specifically) and I'm interested to see how these irons performs with adjustable weights.  
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates?

Absolutely!

[Dpavs]

1. City, State? Hastings, MI

2. Handicap? 18
3. Current iron set? Mizuno 225 i/o 6.0 shafts
4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? i've had a long time interest in Edel irons and products but I have no availability locally to see or try them. On shorter clubs I tend to strike more heel side and longer irons a bit more toe side so the movable weight tech would allow adjusting the heaviest weight to where I tend to strike the ball on each club.
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Absolutely!

The weighting concept intrigues me, getting fit for my swing, better control and more distance, who could ask for anything more.

Yes, I am willing to write  an in-depth review and present high quality photos.

3. Current iron set? Srixon 785
4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? Looking for a new set of irons and have not been impressed with any of the other current offerings. The mix of looks and technology in the Edel's is very appealing. 
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Yes!

[youngwaldo]

1. City, State? Flemington NJ

2. Handicap? 0

4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? I use to have the wedges and switching out the weight to the toe really helped me hit my wedges straight without a draw.

2. Handicap? 16
3. Current iron set? Callaway X series 
4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? Have been looking to upgrade irons, and hollow body design is what I have been looking at. Adjustable weight system is intriguing as well.
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Yes

[DFS PFD]

1. City, State? Northern NV

2. Handicap? 1.4 
3. Current iron set? Srixon ZX7 and Z-Forged
4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? Coming from an engineering background, I love to tinker, and understand the methods behind the madness. These irons with their adjustable perimeter weighting system seem like they would be a great place to take a deep dive into the numbers and effects of moving the weight around. I would hope to get time on the course with them, and launch monitor time to provide real data sets. 
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? I would very much enjoy documenting my process of club testing and experimentation with the weighting system, hopefully on course and with monitor numbers to provide real data sets as well as anecdotes.

4. I love my irons, as they were what I was fitted into back in 2018. I played my previous set of Ben Hogans, for 14 years before switching. Once I find what I like, I stick with it. I’m so intrigued with the weights in these irons. As I tend to hit my long irons 4-5, with a slight fade, my 6-9 with a baby draw, and PW-wedges straightish. Would love to play with these irons to see if I could possibly dial them into the ball flight I want throughout the set. 

5. ABSOLUTELY!

2. Handicap? +0.8
3. Current iron set? P7TW w/ Project X 6.5
4. Why do you want to test Edel's SMS irons? Edel has made some incredible products and I've only been really able to test the wedges out before and they were awesome! I currently use a little bit of lead tape on the toe of a few of my irons and would love for that not be a problem any longer and they look incredible!
5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Absolutely!
