Vokey, among others, has been adjusting CG over the past several iterations and for a good reason: a higher CG increases spin and improves, for lack of a better term, forgiveness on full wedge shots. Koehler himself started the trend back in 1995 with Reid Lockhart and later with his Eidolon, SCOR, and Ben Hogan TK 15 wedges, while Cleveland’s CBX wedges have larger faces, cavitybacks, and a more toe-ward CG. Moving the CG more toe-ward and higher on the face isn’t anything new. In simple terms, there’s more meat higher on the bone, resulting in a higher center of gravity. Technically, it’s thicker at the bottom because there’s a big sole down there, but the difference in thickness between the third groove and the twelfth groove is the smallest difference of any wedge in golf.” “The simple physics of my golf club design is I raised mass dramatically up the back of the club. Koehler says his new Edison Forged wedge tackles that problem head-on. We mere mortals aren’t in that same league. Tour players have the skills to work with that reality and make the ball spin how and when they want. Golf Club Design 101 says low CG does two things to any club: increase launch angles and reduce spin. That, says Koehler, is mostly the result of traditional wedge design that features a low center of gravity. ![]() He can’t trap the ball, so it goes high, and it floats with minimal spin.” He’s playing fluffier fairways and he’s releasing the clubhead ahead of his hands. If you look at an amateur’s wedge, he has a half-dollar size wear mark three to five grooves higher than that. “They play tight fairways, and they practice their asses off to be able to do that. “If you look at a Tour player’s wedge, they have a dime-sized wear mark on the bottom five grooves. It is, however, a Tour player’s job, and conventional wedges are designed for Tour players, not you. No matter how much the recreational golfer practices or takes lessons, golf isn’t his job. The problem, says Koehler, is partly you, but it’s partly the wedge you’re using. “80% also say their wedge shots come up short more often than long, and 80% say they don’t get the kind of spin they’d like.” “Regardless of handicap, 80% of golfers say they hit their full swing wedges and short irons too high,” Koehler tells MyGolfSpy. Well, Koehler is back with a new project, the Edison wedge company.Īnd like the company’s namesake, Koehler believes the new Edison wedge offers a better idea. For others, you know Koehler as the spirit animal behind the innovative, and popular, SCOR and Eidolon wedge companies. You probably know Koehler as the man who resurrected the Ben Hogan brand in 2014, only to see it file for bankruptcy in 2017. For others, it’s merely a rest stop.įor Terry Koehler – aka The Wedge Guy – retirement didn’t take. No need to share those, they will be deleted.For some people, retirement is the end of the journey.
