296hole-in-one 5 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (4) TESTERS WANTED: hogan-sitewide.jpg Ben Hogan Equalizer Wedges Another week, another review opportunity for you, fellow Golf Spies! And we think you're going to really like this one. There's been plenty of chatter here and in social media on the new Equalizer wedges from Ben Hogan. 1025 forged, enhanced V-Sole, Progressive Center of Mass - there's a lot here to get you intrigued, and we want four of you to test, review and keep a 3-wedge set of Hogan Equalizers, and let us know if they're the real deal. Ben-Hogan-Equalizer-Wedges-4.jpg TESTERS WANTED: Four of you will be chosen to review a 52-56-60 set of Equalizers with your choice of shafts offered by Hogan. In addition, Hogan will tweak the lies and swing weights to fit your specs. And if you need the lofts adjusted a degree or so, they'll do that, too. This review opportunity is open to any avid golfer in the US and Canada. Ben-Hogan-Equalizer-Wedges-std-feature-copy.jpeg HOW TO APPLY: As you all know, we take our member reviews pretty seriously. You'll be asked for a full two-month commitment to take these things to the range and the course, and follow a detailed template to write up a thoughtful, detailed and - most importantly - honest review. To apply, tell us in this thread (and ONLY in this thread!): First name/Home state or province Current wedges Short game strengths/weaknesses Current handicap We'll announce the testers in this thread next week, so make sure you check back. Thanks for applying, and Good Luck!!! Ben-Hogan-Equalizer-Wedges-1.jpg Would love me to test the Hogan Equalizer Wedges. Currently playing Cleveland RTX 2.0 wedges in 52°, 56° and 60° lofts. If the wedges are available in regular flex graphite shafts, I am currently using SteelFiber 95, +0.5" length shafts and Iomic jumbo grips. I can add the 1/2" and replace the grips myself to get the proper fit! Thanks for the chance.

Feed1nate7 2 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I've been SERIOUSLY looking at these wedges. I had two older equalizers as a HS golfer 20 years age. A 56° & 61° Were my favorite wedges. I wore the grooves completely down! I'd love to try these new ones out. Chris from Oklahoma Playing the RTX 2.0 Cleveland wedges in a 54° & 58° I don't use the lob wedge much as I have a tendency to chunk it. I hit my wedge well from the sand. Usually pretty good from 40-80 yards out. Can get too hands & chunk done from inside 40. I play to an 8 right now. There was a time 10 years, 4 children & about 50lbs ago I was a +1. Finally getting a chance to go out & play as my boys are all older & in school. Keep up the good work! Link to post Share on other sites
