BEN HOGAN Equalizer II Forged Wedges.

THE BEN HOGAN Golf Company has introduced the Equalizer II Forged Wedges to it’s Equalizer line of clubs.

“We found that most golfers don’t spend nearly as much time, effort and energy selecting their wedges as they do their driver or irons,” said Scott White, President and CEO of Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company. “That is an oversight and can lead to many lost shots and higher scores. So with the Equalizer II line, we’ve tried to simplify the selection process and develop the best performing and best feeling wedges in the game.”

Equalizer II Wedges are forged from soft 1025 carbon steel. Because the wedges have been slightly enlarged from past Equalizer wedges, there is a larger effective hitting area. They have a improved version of the Company’s V-Sole technology, that combines a high-bounce leading edge, and a lower bounce trailing edge. But certain lofts (50/54/58)  will be available with a ‘Texas Grind’ sole.

So learn more by visiting BenHoganGolf.com pricing starts at $125.00 per wedge, and they are available for shipping or demo until late April.

The Gog Blog returns tomorrow. RS
