Lofty discussions with famous Wedge Guru Terry Koehler

Terry Koehler is a fourth generation Texan and a graduate of Texas A&M University. Over his 40-year career in the golf industry, he has created over 100 putter designs, sets of irons and drivers, and in 2014, he put together the team that reintroduced the Ben Hogan brand to the golf equipment industry, and served as CEO of that venture.
But his passion and most compelling work has been in the wedge category for over thirty years.
Since 2018, Terry has served as Chairman and Director of Innovation for Edison Golf, where he continues to push the envelope in high-performance wedge design.
Since he first patented his “Koehler Sole” in the early 1990s, he has been challenging “conventional wisdom” reflected in ‘tour design’ wedges that have traditionally defined the category. The performance of his innovative wedge designs have finally stimulated other companies to move slightly more mass toward the top of the blade in their wedges, but none approach the dramatic design of his latest work -- the Edison Forged wedges -- which have been robotically proven to significantly raise the bar for wedge performance.

I am currently a 6 handicap and I put these wedges into my bag about 6 months ago. We spend money on irons, drivers, hybrids, fairway woods, and putters that are more forgiving. So why not use a more forgiving set of wedges? They are after all called "scoring clubs". With this in mind I decided to test these out and what I found was that these wedges should be called "Distance dispersion killers". Meaning that if you hit these clubs to a set yardage - if you mishit them you won't lose as much distance -and that's the difference between hitting the green or landing in a bunker or worse yet - water. I personally think this is the best bang for you $$$'s as far as helping your game. While it's true that the lob wedge could be a little more versatile - (open it up more) most golfer (85% don't need it) for me I just ground down and added a little more relief so I can open up the lob wedge abit more and reduce the height of the leading edge. best wedge more about 85% of all golfers.

I play off a 2.2 index but have really struggled with the 40 yard bunker shot. I recently tried the vokey gap wedge (48) and it was very easy to use. It got me thinking that specialty wedges might be a good idea to replace my P and G 'set wedges'. Do you have any experience on long bunker shots for the edison wedges? I currently use the Miura k Grind (54/58) and they are great out of the bunker.

Vero and Edison seem like a sweet combo!

[@edisonwedges1632]

It absolutely is!

[@jimrankin2049]

Does Terry recommend hitting standard bunker shots with a square blade rather than opening the blade because of the way the bounce is configured? I own two of the Edison wedges, 53 and 59. JR

Jim, It really depends on the shot, but don't need to play Edison wedges any differently. You may find that the added spin gives you a few more options, though!
