Edel Golf Sweeps #ThePimpList

When your everyday, your mundane, your matter-of-fact is, by comparison exceptional, people – including golfers – are going to notice.

Such is the case with Edel Golf.

Given what we’ve seen from Edel over the course of several PGA Shows, it was hardly a surprise that they would absolutely bring their A-game to #ThePimipList.

We also weren’t the least bit surprised that our reader voted Edel creations to the top of both the wedge and putter lists.

Edel’s work is unquestionably exceptional, and you guys most certainly noticed.

As we close the book on the 2014 PimpList we wanted to take one final look at the Edel masterpieces that helped Edel Golf sweep #ThePimpList.

EDEL WEDGE

Made from carbon steel, this Edel creation (which our winning reader appropriately named Belladonna), garnered 27% of the vote to best Cobra’s excellent Damascus creation.

The wedge is a simply stunning example of Edel Master Engraver Clyde W.’s work. The detail is without peer.

Neil Oster did the grind work on this 56° wedge, and for good measure added a deep blue torched finish.

EDEL DAMASCUS HANDMADE

Function, art, and opulence intersect in this Edel Anser-style Damascus putter that features pure silver and 12k gold accents.

Designed by David Edel and machined by Shannon Hubble, the winning putter (like the wedge) was hand engraved by Edel Golf’s Clyde W., and finished by Neil Oster.

I could say more, but the pictures combined with 37% of your vote pretty much tell the whole story.

More to Come?

We certainly hope to bring you more from and about Edel Golf in the future. In the meantime, check out the Edel Golf Website for more information.

      MGS continues to be the most relevant voice on all things golf (and never stilted by personal agendas). Doing the pimp wedge and putter contests allowed some truly talented craftspeople to show us all how truly creative they are when allowed to work “way outside the box”!!!!! All the entries were fun to look at. As for poor Ron, I can only say be of better cheer and enjoy the roses- it can only improve your outlook and hopefully your game.

      Hey guys and gals,

      Glad to see that Ron diverted any negative energy from the current topic to the industry wide issue with bad shirts.
      We at Edel Golf take great pride in the clubs we make. I am so proud of my team and the pride they take in making fine crafted equipment. I know that everyone who submitted put a lot of effort and time into their entries. This time we came out ahead, which we are grateful, but next time I know we will see some really unique ideas.
      Thanks to MGS for offering us the opportunity to show case our talents. We had a lot of fun thinking outside of the box. It is a nice change of pace to make something that though not practical, let’s one take a simple object and make it special.

      Ron, if we decide to make shirts, we will most certainly contact you for armpit comfort, breathability, and price.

      Thank you to all who voted, whether good or bad we all learned something new from all the comments.

      Some of us are OK with current arm pit clearance. Then again I am OK with someday throwing an Edel wedge in the bag! They look like they just glide thru the ball/turf.

      mn fats Thats exactly what I think they are doing to save money , I never ever had problems with shirts before like I do now , the cheap way they are made now with the sleeves pulling and dragging the arms in the swing, I was told it is a cheaper way to make them and thats why all companies are doing the same thing where that was never a problem before. Then the outrages price tag is just highway robbery.

      Ron, I agree with the golf shirts being over priced. I work in the clothing industry and I can tell you, Nike, etc costs them maybe 7-8 dollars to have the shirts made and shipped and landed in the US.

      Do you also agree that they are skimping on material in the arm pit region so they can cut more corners and it’s making the shirts restrictive to a golf swing?

      I think everyone knows that golf polos are overpriced.

The fact that you cant understand what is happening in the clothing buz in golf shows me you how uninformed you are, I know its not a big deal and I wish I never brought it up but its people like you who dont notice this stuff and still buy these golf polos at these rediculous prices is one of the main reasons why they keep making them cheap, and the fact that you cant see this going on shows me that you are not as smart as you think. But keep dreaming about yr fancy wedge ingravings thinking their collectors items when normal people could care less abt that crap.

      Ron, your rant about polo shirts makes no sense. Golf shirts nowadays are much LESS constricting than they were in the past. The stretchy, breathable material was DESIGNED to cause less swing impairment while keeping you cooler and more comfortable on the course. Would you prefer we got back to the days of plus-fours and button-down shirts w/ ties on the golf course?

      I’ve never bought a golf polo for more than $30 bucks. I also type fast and can still spell and form coherent thoughts all while doing it.

      I have never put on a golf polo and thought it restricted my swing. Maybe your build is different from what is considered normal.

      I haven’t claimed to be any smarter than anyone else at any time on this site, but I do know that you seem to be full of useless arguments, half truths, and inflammatory statements that make you look like a tool to the majority of the people who frequent this site.

      Ron is either a troll or that person everyone knows who cares about things no one else seems to.

      You know this person, they are always right in their own minds and even when proven wrong will say that they were right in some obscure way that has nothing to do with their original argument.

      The most puzzling thing about these people to me is what they hope to accomplish. I think they either are attention starved or just get their kicks trying to get people fired up.

      Either way, Ron’s stunning combination of poor grammar, uninformed opinions, and reluctance to realize that logic and reality are lacking from all of his arguments just serve to make him look like he really has no idea what he’s talking about.

      I was going off topic to mention that the golf polo shirts, are now being structured terrible around the arm pit too save on manufacturing costs. They have no give to let the arms swing without pull and it seems to be getting worse. It seems all golf clothing companies are doing the same thing now to save money and its at a point now where all of them are not made as good as they used to be 3 or 4 years ago, Im not talking about material, I know their still using 1970s polyester and fooling people into thinking its something new, but it just shows you how the golf manufactures are making things cheaper and worse by the year.

      Tony Covey I know this is off topic but I am surprised you cant bring up the fact that golf shirts today are made so cheap where they are not structured right to fit a person where he can swing a club without feeling restricted and pulled by the sleeve half way through the swing. Golf companies are cutting corners so bad to save money that their not making golf shirts correctly anymore and yet charging 60 and over for this garbage. Their structured so bad now to save money that the arms have no freedom to swing like they used to. sorry to bring this up now but its an interesting topic thats a reality now in the golf clothing business and it seems to be getting worse.

      It may not be exactly 99.9 percent , I know that , the reason I worded it that way is because every tournament I play in thats all I see including guys on tour, now I dont use them so Im not trying to advertise em , it just seems that way besides I never ever see jdm wedges in any of their bags , its always something you can get and try out here from the major OEMS, If these jdm clubs were so much better you would see these top ams and pros bag em but none of them do NONE PERIOD. Everyone wants something they have a hard time getting thats just human nature, thats the attraction to these types of clubs, Im not saying their not good, Im sure there fine clubs, buy why show em and talk about them when people cant get them to try out unless they are morons and order them and pay top dollar for them without trying them out from some dealer on the frigin computer. Now for collectables that might be a reason but what makes them that valuable when they havnt won shit, the fancy design? good lord get a life.

      I dont understand the love of these wedges, and other jdm stuff , You cant try em out, you cant buy em at a normal price , their forged no different than say a Callaway wedge, most good players play cast vokey wedges not this crap, you talk abt quality, when 99.9 percent of top players use a cast vokey, so where do these clubs fit in to where , I HAVE TO GET THEM CUZZ THEIR GOOD QUALITY What is good quality, their pounded to oblivion into a frigin mold fr petes sake. Why would anyone want a PRETTY ART LOOKING golf club to play golf with in the first place, you think people are going to admire you, if I saw a guy with these in his bag I would roll my eyes and call him an idiot under my breath and watch him shoot his 88. People who buy into this stuff have No game so they have to have something else in golf to look foreward to and thats artsy fartsy golf clubs thinking their made special when their not and every single golfer couldnt play no better with these jdm clubs than with retail american clubs that are 10 yrs old. I know people in here dont care fr me cuzz I add suger and spice to these threads, but I tell it like it is. Thats why theres so many people not playing golf anymore because its clubs shirts you name it is wayyyyyyyyyyyy overpriced even green fees. The golf shirts today are structured terribly under the arm pit with no swinging room fr the arms yet they want 76 bucks fr em, the golf buz today is far from it used to be when it was at its best in the 80s , and 90s when you got what you payed for. So stop showing clubs the average person cant find in a pro shop let alone in a big box store to buy and try out fr that matter.

      It’s like anything in life; why buy a $1000 dollar watch when you get get a perfectly functioning one for $20? I agree using and buying such an expensive wedge seems like a bad investment but if someone wants it enough then they are going to get it. People tend to forget golf’s original origins. It is still a rich man’s/women’s sport so there are always going to be really overpriced clubs/clothes/green fee’s.

      They make them because they sell them. It’s really that simple. If you can’t understand that then perhaps it’s time for you take an economics class at your local community college.

      You might want to add a writing class to that as well since you can’t seem to spell or form complete words twenty percent of the time. Pay attention to the paragraph section of the course as well.

      Your statistic you made up about 99.9% of all players using Vokey’s is way off. I am thinking of 10 people who I play golf with several times a month and only four of them have Vokey’s. Only two of those four have more than one.

      Every time you comment on this site you remind me why the internet is the greatest thing ever to come to be. It allows everyone an equal opportunity to prove to me that it could be worse.

      Just for the sake of interjecting some relevant facts into the discussion…

      Vokey’s current market share is roughly roughly 40%. Usage runs between 39%-42% each week on tour. Only 4 of those players are currently in the in the Top 20.

      So yes, Ron’s number might be a little high. The same is possibly true of Ron as well.

      We can’t bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell ’em stories that don’t go anywhere – like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ’em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

      I guess it is just like buying fine art.
      A wealthy man might buy a Van Gogh.
      The rest of us purchase stuff that looks like it came off the wall at Ramada Inn.
      Personally, I would have loved to have won a fine looking wedge like that.
      I might have just shown it off to friends at home rather than played it, but who knows.
      It’s a beautiful looking wedge, so let’s just appreciate it for that.

      Now, go tell some kids to get off your lawn.

      Whoa there, big fella, and schedule that anger management appointment with the shrink. You can try the Edels before you buy — they are custom fit. And while Vokey makes a nice wedge, their leading edge on higher bounce options get in the way of a variety of shots that the Edel can make. I know — I’ve owned both and switched to Edel because the leading edge sits low to the ground with the shaft straight up and down, and I can perform those finesse shots that the Vokey can’t do because of the grind. And they do not cost much more than a Vokey. Same with the normal Edel Putter. They do not cost much more than a Cameron, and guess what, the Edel is custom fit to you. So once your session of electroshock therapy is done, have the men in white coats escort you to your closest Edel fitter.

      Maybe you don’t realize it big fella, but pros are paid to play equipment. The little guys in equipment don’t have the resources to pay pros. The bottom line is that touring pros don’t always choose what they really like, they choose the green. That’s reality.
