Review Ratings
Forgiveness
4/5
Jacob Wetzel gave 4 of 5 stars. The adjustable weights on the back of the club make this set of irons forgiving, as golfers can set the weights to combat their natural miss. This set is not quite as forgiving as a larger cavity back set, but overall, small misses off the toe or heel typically hold their distance.
Feel
4/5
Jacob Wetzel gave 4 of 5 stars. The Edel Golf SMS Forged Irons feel great at impact when I hit the ball pure, similar to other high-performing muscle back or blade irons from top golf manufacturers. Taking a nice symmetrical divot is easy with the mid irons, and the feeling through the ball is one of the best around.
Workability
4/5
Jacob Wetzel gave 4 of 5 stars. The long irons in this set are as workable as any and are fun to play around with when one throws in the adjustable weight factor to affect the shot shape. For a top player, the adjustable weights allow me to really zone in on my desired shot shape for each day, which could be condition-dependent.
Distance
5/5
Jacob Wetzel gave 5 of 5 stars. When I catch my shot on the screws with the Edel Golf SMS Forged Irons, the ball rockets off the clubface like a trampoline. Most players will see improved ball speeds and increased carry distance throughout the set. For a top-ball striker, this set could allow them to hit a half club or so less into the greens.
Sound
5/5
Jacob Wetzel gave 5 of 5 stars. The Edel Golf SMS Forged Irons produce a distinct sound at impact that one will want to learn to repeat. I found the sound to be similar to other high-performing muscle back irons like the TaylorMade P790 and PXG0211 ST. They have a great sound that screams high performance and exceptional quality.
