Sunday at The U.S. Open, 1950. Recovering from his horrific accident, Mr Hogan made it to the 18th hole on Sunday by sheer will and determination, needing a par to force a playoff. With a crowd lined fairway, he pulled his 1 iron. He hit it perfectly, holding the green, and creating the most iconic photo in the history of golf. The rest, as they say, is history.
We've licensed this image exclusively with the USGA to create this stunning commermorative wedge.
The finish you see isn't a sticker or decal. It is a proprietary technique that involves a permanent modification beneath the surface at a chemical level, to produce a rendering of remarkable detail that won't rust, fade or wear. This is not a decorative piece, this can be used on course.
We’ve pushed the design envelope with Ben Hogan Equalizer II wedges to bring golfers the highest level of performance and the feel only a premium forging can provide.
Forged wedges provide the feel and feedback cast wedges simply can’t provide. That’s because the forging process allows steel to maintain molecular integrity and uniform grain flow; things that are destroyed when metal material is melted down into liquid form. More importantly, though, a forged club will have a uniform, soft density from toe to heel, and sole to topline. This provides consistent performance because hot spots and imperfections in the hitting area are eliminated.
In terms of spin, the face of a wedge is where the rubber meets the road. If ball contact isn’t optimized, especially around the green, nothing else matters. That’s why we CNC mill the face of Equalizer II wedges. It’s an extra step that we take to ensure that the face is absolutely, completely flat and free from any imperfections. Plus, it allows us to add a slightly textured surface between the grooves for more spin.
And speaking of spin, you’ll love how fast your short shots stop on the green. Equalizer II wedges incorporate the most aggressive U-shaped grooves allowed. We machine cut these into the face at precise increments after the forging and finishing processes are complete. The result? Less run out on the green and more shots left closer to the hole.
Equalizer II wedges remove discretionary weight from the perimeter and place it behind the impact area to optimize trajectory for each individual wedge loft.
In terms of shaping, they’re designed to be clean and classic – from their straighter leading edges to their rounded toes – and will never distract from the task at hand. Their sizing is comparable to the most popular wedges on tour.
These wedges feature use our V-Sole® geometry to deliver unmatched versatility across in each of our wedge lofts. It includes a high bounce leading edge and a softer, more gradual trailing edge so Equalizer II wedges glide through any turf condition or sand consistency.
