WHAT IT DOES: The Edel SMS Pro irons incorporate the movable weight technology of the company’s SMS wedges and irons. The multi-step forging process results in a 1025-carbon-steel clubhead that offers optimal consistency from club to club. One of the under-appreciated elements of this iron is the tri-sole design. The leading edge is intended to help the iron glide through the grass at impact, and the middle-tier bounce keeps the club going through the turf post impact. The trailing-edge bounce reduces the effective sole width of the club, leading to small, crisp divots. 

WHY WE LIKE IT: We’ve long seen the benefits of movable weights, most notably in drivers. However, Edel brings that technology to irons (just as PXG has done), but instead of trying to influence a draw or fade bias, Edel believes the heaviest weight in the proper position can optimize a player’s swing path. The weights on the three ports in the SMS Pro irons include two aluminum screws weighing two grams and one eight-gram tungsten weight. For those wanting more options, four-, six- and 10-gram weights are also available. Get your Allen wrench out to see the results. Many of our testers did. Read more>>
