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."

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

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...

power!” — Golf Club Review.com
“Give those clubs with the funny
name a closer look.” — TravelGolf.com

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
