  Eidolon V-SOLE Named 'Wedge of the Year' by Swedish Golf Magazine - Golfbladet  
 

PORT O'CONNOR, Texas -

 

There's no doubt in the golf world that Sweden knows good golf when they see it, and they've done it again in the latest issue of Sweden's Golfbladet (The Golf Digest). The 56-degree Eidolon V-SOLE® wedge was named 'Wedge of the Year' by the well-known and respected publication, which wrote that "Backspin is just the first name" for the patented V-SOLE wedge.

 

"Sweden produces champion golfers and we are extremely pleased and excited that the V-SOLE Wedge has been announced a champion by one of its leading golf publications," says Terry Koehler, president of Eidolon Golf and former Ben Hogan executive. "Every one of our wedges is hand-crafted, not mass-produced. It is gratifying to be recognized for our workmanship and first-class quality by such a respected authority. We have become quite popular in Sweden and across Europe because of our proven performance, rather than as a result of a large ad budget. Maybe this will encourage more American golfer to give our wedges a chance during the 2006 season."

 

 

  Eidolon Golf reports that its V-Sole wedge received one of the highest wedge approval ratings in the history PGA Tour Partners Magazine's member-testing program .  
 


"PORT O'CONNOR, Texas - The Eidolon Golf V-SOLE® wedge and the consistent performance from the sand, rough and fairway that it provides has been tested and approved by the PGA TOUR Partners Magazine.

In fact, the V-SOLE wedge received one of the highest wedge approval ratings in the history of the member-testing program. Results and feedback from the member testers will be available in the Jan./Feb. 2006 issue of the magazine.

"Our wedges have the highest customer appreciation rate in the industry. We receive less than 1% of them back on our 100% money back guarantee," says Terry Koehler, president of Eidolon Golf and former Ben Hogan executive. "Eidolon's patented V-SOLE sole technology, and CNC milled faces and grooves, along with our Rifle Spinner shafts, make these the finest wedges the industry has ever seen. I'm very pleased that the PGA TOUR Partners Magazine came back with such great evaluations."

The PGA TOUR Partners magazine testers gave glowing reviews on the Eidolon V-SOLE wedge, and praised the V-SOLE wedge for its extreme versatility from the rough, sand, fairway and tight-lies. A close second to the club's versatility was its ability to create shot-stopping spin. In addition, one PGA TOUR Partner executive, who had played the wedge, raved about the 60-degree V-SOLE wedge and how it improved his game and ability to stop the ball on greens.

Eidolon's patented V-SOLE line-up represents a significant innovation in high-performance wedges, offering more spin, more control and extreme versatility. With V-SOLE Technology, the leading edge of the wedge's sole - about one-quarter of an inch - has an aggressive bounce (18 degrees on the 52-degree Gap wedge, 30 degrees on the 56-degree wedge, and 25 degrees on the 60-degree wedge) which ensures that the leading edge never digs into the turf. The primary rear portion of the sole features minimal bounce - three degrees on the 52 gap wedge, seven degrees on the 56 mid-wedge and six degrees on the 60 lob wedge for improved playability from tight lies. In addition to its patented sole design, Eidolon painstakingly CNC-mills the face and every individual groove in each wedge - a revolutionary extra step that is a cut above most mass-produced wedges. This precision milling achieves nearly 100 percent of the groove specifications allowed by the USGA, as compared with as low as 60 to 70 percent of allowed groove volume common to standard production wedges."

  Eidolon introducerar nya Rifle Graphite Spinner skaft  
 


PORT O'CONNOR, Texas -

Further establishing itself as an industry leader in Short Game Innovation, Eidolon Golf announces the introduction of the all-new Rifle Graphite Spinner shaft, a proprietary shaft design which is now offered as exclusive option for premium V-SOLE™ wedges.

With the addition of the new Rifle Graphite Spinner shaft as an upgrade option, Eidolon Golf has further separated its premium line of V-SOLE wedges from those offered by general golf club manufacturers. The Rifle Graphite Spinner is designed and manufactured by Royal Precision in conjunction with Eidolon Golf, and Eidolon Golf is the only golf equipment company to offer the premium Rifle Graphite Spinner shaft as standard equipment.

"The new Rifle Spinner Graphite shaft mirrors the performance characteristics of the Rifle steel shafts exactly," says Terry Koehler, president of Eidolon Golf and former Ben Hogan Golf executive. "The higher flex point and slightly softer overall flex ensures an optimum feel and shot-making sensitivity at the wide variety of clubhead speeds common to wedge play. We're very proud to have worked with the engineers at Royal Precision to bring this new graphite shaft to our line of V-SOLE wedges. The combination of these premium products provides a level of short game performance that is truly unmatched."

The Rifle Graphite Spinner weighs 95 grams — 20 grams lighter than Rifle Spinner steel shafts — and Eidolon Golf will apply its proprietary tipping procedures to offer the Rifle Graphite Spinner in both Regular and Firm flexes, with the former recommended for players whose normal 9-iron distance is 120 yards or less.

Equipped with either steel or graphite shafts, Eidolon Golf's premium wedges offer more spin and more control by combining precise CNC groove and face milling with its own patented V-SOLE™ technology. Unlike most mass-produced wedges, Eidolon painstakingly CNC-mills each wedge face and then CNC-mills individual grooves in every wedge to achieve nearly 100 percent of the groove specifications allowed by the U.S. Golf Association. In addition, Eidolon's patented V-Sole design features a very aggressive bounce on the leading portion wedges - about one-quarter of an inch - of the sole. This pronounced bounce (18 degrees on the 52-degree lofted wedge, 30 degrees on the 56 wedge, and 25 degrees on the 60-degree wedge) ensures that the leading edge never digs into the turf. The primary rear portion of the sole features minimal bounce — three degrees on the 52 gap wedge, seven degrees on the 56 mid- wedge and six degrees on the 60 lob wedge, so they play exceptionally well from the fairway and tight lies.

Eidolon Golf designs and manufactures premium golf wedges about which the Golf Club Review reports as having "enormous stopping power." Headquartered in Port O'Connor, Texas, with manufacturing facilities in Houston, Eidolon Golf produces the only wedges in golf that feature the patented V-Sole™ Technology

 

  Några ord från amerikansk golfpress  
  PORT O’CONNOR, Texas — ‘Enormous stopping power’ and ‘easiest hitting’ are phrases never used lightly by the golf media to describe classically styled wedges, yet that’s exactly what they’re saying about the new V-Sole™ wedges by Eidolon Golf. Introducing the next revolution in high-performance wedges, Eidolon Golf combines precise CNC groove milling with a new patented V-Sole™ technology to produce a premium wedge that offers more spin, more control and serious short-game improvement. The result is an elegant series of wedges with extreme versatility and playability —  ultimately, the finest wedges in golf.

“There haven’t been many design changes in the wedge category that have led to improved playability,” says Terry Koehler, president of Eidolon Golf, who is a former Ben Hogan Golf executive and former co-owner of Reid Lockhart Golf Co. “However, Eidolon wedges introduce a patented V-Sole technology and intricate groove milling that increase ball spin, provide higher trajectory and more control. Ultimately, this technology makes Eidolon wedges more accurate and more playable.”

And, the experts agree. Here’s what they’re saying...

“Enormous stopping power!” — Golf Club Review.com

“Give those clubs with the funny name a closer look.” — TravelGolf.com

“Maybe the easiest hitting and feeling [wedges] around.” — BuffaloGolfer.com

“Eidolon wedges] put an amazing amount of spin on the ball, even on delicate green-side pitches.” —TravelGolf.com


Eidolon wedges feature patented V-Sole™ Technology through which the leading edge of the wedge’s sole — about one-quarter of an inch — has an aggressive bounce (18 degrees bounce on the 52-degree lofted wedge, 30 degrees bounce on the 56 wedge, and 25 degrees of bounce on the 60-degree wedge) that ensures that the leading edge never digs into the turf. The primary rear portion of the sole features minimal bounce — three degrees on the 52 gap wedge, seven degrees on the 56 mid- wedge and six degrees on the 60 lob wedge.

In addition to the V-Sole Technology, premium Eidolon wedges feature distinct CNC-milled grooves. Unlike most mass produced wedged, Eidolon painstakingly CNC-mills each wedge face and then CNC-mills every individual groove in every wedge. It’s a process that achieves nearly 100 percent of the groove specifications allowed by the U.S. Golf Association, as compared with as low as 60 to 70 percent groove measurements that are common to standard production wedges
