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.
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!

Vero and Edison seem like a sweet combo!
It absolutely is!
