CONSISTENCY IS EVERYTHING
All Ben Hogan Precision Milled Putters are crafted from 1020C carbon steel in a multi-step forging process that results in an extremely soft and pure feel. There are no “hot spots” or “dead areas” to impact the distance and trueness of your putt.
The face of every putter is also CNC milled for perfect flatness and a uniform mill pattern from heel to toe.
TECHNOLOGY
A forged, CNC milled putter is not the least expensive or easiest option, but we believe it is the best. The thermal cycle and deformation process that occurs during forging creates metallurgical recrystallization, which refines the grain structure of the metal. Through forging, deformed grains are replaced by new, defect-free grains that nucleate and grow until the original grains are entirely consumed.
What does this mean for you? Even the best golfers in the world rarely strike putts in the exact center of the putter face. Ben Hogan Precision Milled Forged Putters deliver uniform density across the entire face, so no matter where you strike the ball there are no “hot spots” or “dead areas” to impact the distance and trueness of your putt.
THE OTHER GUYS
Most putters on the market today are investment cast (molten metal is poured into a mold) into the putter head shape, and then skim-milled or buffed. Others are milled from blocks of investment cast steel. In either case, cast steel is less dense, more porous, and can contain voids or flaws. Cast steel does not have the strength and refined structure of forged steel and will sound and feel different from forged steel when struck.
Other popular putters are made through a process called extrusion – a round bar of steel is heated and squeezed into a rectangular shape that’s approximate to the finished putter head. Extrusion is a limited forging process that only refines the grain structure in height and width, but not length. The consistency of the extruded metal grain is therefore limited, and not as refined or uniform as truly forged metal.
