Edel SMS Irons Specs & Design

The new Edel SMS Irons are high-quality irons that come with a premium price tag, but significantly with impressive performance gains.

The club’s design provides the potential to take your approach shots and short game to another level and shoot lower scores by helping manufacture straighter and longer shots.

That is achieved largely by the Swing Match System – from which the irons get their name – design feature.

The swing match weighting moves the heaviest of the three weights used in the club to the ideal position for your swing — doing so helps create total clubface control.

Your right and left misses can become a thing of the past, and you’ll experience better distance by hitting the sweet spot more often.

The irons feature a forged 1025 hollow body construction for a sleek look that provides distance, feel and control from the plasma welded maraging steel face cup for fast flexing.

The clubheads have a proprietary urethane foam fill for the maximum feel and and a versatile sole design to improve ball striking from any lie.

Edel SMS irons are available from 4-iron to gap wedge.

What Edel says about the SMS Irons:

“The new SMS (Swing Match System) Irons are unlike any irons on the market. These irons feature Swing Match Weighting.

“By moving the heaviest of the three weights to the ideal position for your swing, it enables total clubface control.

“That can mean eliminating your miss right or left, improving face impact position, more distance, more accuracy, and optimized performance all around.

“With a hollow body made from a soft forged 1025 carbon steel, these irons offer a buttery feel and a beautiful look.

“Forged 1025 hollow body construction allows for housing the SMS weighting technology while providing a faster face, amazing feel, and ultimate control. The result, ultimate performance.

“With the use of an incredibly strong, plasma welded maraging steel face cup, our face is designed for distance across its entirety.

“The combination of cup face construction and a face material stronger than the body has resulted in increased face flexing on off-center hits.”
