Hopkins Golf

I have scheduled an interview with Greg Hopkins, CEO of Hopkins Golf.

If his name or photo looks familiar, you'll remember Hopkins was the former CEO of Cleveland Golf. In September of 2012, almost a year ago, he resigned as CEO of Cleveland Golf. Since that time, he has started his own wedge (for now) company.

 

I thought it would be worthwhile to start a thread, and solicit questions you might have for Hopkins, or areas that you would like to see addressed in an interview. Please let me know either by PM or just post the question right here.

Do they need any MGS testers that happen to live in the NW suburbs of the Twin Cities to try out some wedges and write up a review?

 

I'm also curious if he has plans on bringing any lines to retail.

Ask him if he'd do a wedge test here like he is in other places for the members. I'm out on this one but it'd be cool for other MGSers.

Sorry, couldn't resist a Step Brothers joke.

 

The wedges look great, and the man does know his way around wedges, and great price!!

In answer to your query on whether or not they would rust.. I emailed them and they said that the finish is such that if not wiped down after use/cleaning that they rust due to the natural finish.. They grinds are interesting to me????? Might have to buy a few sometime

They do look nice, I was really happy with their performance, just as good as anything else out there.

 

These are set to release on 11/29.  Right now, they have a special, buy a $100 gift card for $80.  Not a bad price for these at all.

Very nice wedges, but add in a grind and upgrade the shaft and you hit $140 really quick.  $20 off is still a nice deal for the wedge, but unless you want stock everything it's not an $80 wedge.

 

Great idea for Christmas presents though :)
