Outwork Them

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. Available in multiple lofts, finishes, and a “Texas Grind” for tight lies.

Technology

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.

Design

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.

Standard Grind vs. Texas Grind

Equalizer II Wedges are available in two grind options: Standard (all lofts) and Texas Grind (available in 50, 54, and 58 degree lofts).

Both grinds 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.

The “Texas Grind” is a great choice for firmer conditions or those who have shallower attack angles and can benefit from the enhanced versatility of lower-bounce wedges.

Customize It

Equalizer II Wedges are available in a traditional and durable nickel chrome finish, as well as a darker and sultry DBM (Diamond Black Metal).

The Diamond Black Metal finish is incredibly durable; much more so than “painted” dark finishes used by other companies. It also reduces wear on the grooves so better players can impact the spin necessary to shape shots left and right, or flight shots up and down. The Diamond Black Metal finish adds no weight to the club head.

The Nickel-chrome finish is for players who prefer a more traditional look. Nickel-chrome is also very durable, and has been a proven way to protect forged club heads and ensure they look great for years to come.
