The Texas Grind incorporates extreme toe and heel relief making it extremely easy to pick shots clean off tight lies and allows the clubhead to be laid wide open to virtually eliminate chunked shots.” “They play in Texas’ windy and dry conditions which tends to create very hard fairways. “The Texas Grind sole was inspired by some of the better players in our office and around Fort Worth,” stated White. Additionally, select certain lofts (50 / 54 / 58) of the Equalizer II wedges will be available with a special “Texas Grind” sole. This creates exceptional turf interaction and minimizes the impact that side hill or downhill lies have on loft. It’s a simple concept, but one that is very difficult to execute from a design and manufacturing standpoint.”Įqualizer II wedges incorporate a modified and improved version of the Company’s proprietary V-SOLE® technology which combines a high-bounce leading edge with a lower-bounce trailing edge. Then it moves lower in the sand and lob wedges to provide progressively higher trajectories. In the lower-lofted gap wedges, the Center of Mass is located much higher on the face to create more penetrating, controllable trajectories. “With Equalizer II wedges, we’ve managed to reposition more weight than ever before at different, precise locations in the various wedges to maximize performance. “The vast majority of wedges on the market today simply load as much weight as possible near the sole to create very high and uncontrollable trajectories,” continued White. Most importantly, discretionary weight from the perimeter of the clubhead has been removed allowing Ben Hogan club designers to optimize the progressive Center of Mass. The size of the clubhead has been enlarged slightly from previous generations of Equalizer wedges to provide a larger effective hitting area. With the Equalizer II line, we’ve tried to simplify the selection process and develop the best-performing and best-feeling wedges in the game.”Īs with all Ben Hogan irons and wedges, Equalizer II wedges are forged from soft 1025 carbon steel to provide feel and feedback that investment cast wedges simply cannot. “That is an oversight and can lead to many lost shots and higher scores.
