Hogan wedge facelift
Sure-Out wedge gets a make-over as Hippo reveal plans to give a free club to every International Pairs entry.
Ben Hogan Golf is giving a facelift to its tried and tested Sure-Out wedge, with a new groove width, to the limit of USGA and R&A regulations, to obtain maximum spin and control. Complete with a wide sole and nickel plating, the new BH Sure-Out wedges, also channels away excess water and debris, say the manufacturers, making them ideal for UK conditions. The wide sole design also helps the wedge skim over sand instead of digging in. The clubs are available in 56 and 60 degree lofts, with the lightweight Apex steel shaft. "Ben Hogan Golf has always been known for producing some of the world’s most effective and most-trusted wedges," said managing director, Neil Howie. "The new Sure-Out is the latest weapon in an arsenal of great Ben Hogan wedges. It performs for golfers of all abilities, but is most effective for the high handicapper. It will be to wedges what the hybrid club is to long irons – a new, extremely effective tool destined to become a classic of tomorrow." Recommended price will be £60.
