Equipment Review:
Eidolon Golf Prime Finished Wedges
by Jeffrey Reed, Editor, LondonOntarioGolf.com

Previously here at London Ontario Golf, we’ve raved about premium wedge manufacturer Eidolon Golf – you can read that review here.

This month, we’re focusing on the new Eidolon Prime Finished wedges which, of course, feature the Eidolon Golf patented V-Sole technology plus other qualities that have helped the company become recognized as the leader in custom built wedges.

"These are the same soft carbon steel, the same patented V-Sole, the same meticulous CNC-milled faces and grooves, but instead of our nickel chrome plating, these are given a hot oil bath and left natural," said Eidolon Golf President/Founder Terry Koehler. "Golfers of all skill levels are really going to like the way the Prime wedges look and feel. It's just another example of what separates Eidolon Golf from other wedge companies."

Koehler explained that the bronze patina a Prime wedge has when it is new will wear off, and the head will begin to rust. "After a time, it will have a very natural look that is totally non-glare," Koehler said. "And owning these will define you as a player with discriminating taste in wedges."

The Prime wedges are available now in lofts of 52°, 56° and 60°. The carry a MSRP of $139 each, with discounted prices for purchasing matched pairs and full sets.

I tested the trio of new Prime Finished wedges, and it was a real treat hitting them from a variety of lies and distances. On a day I had intended to work solely on my short game, the V-Sole design of the Eidolon Golf Prime Finished wedges produced shots that were not only smooth as butter, but also covered the scoring zone like white on rice. From buried lies in the rough and bunker, to fluffy lies 50-yards from the flag and even bump and run shots just short of the green, these wedges work. With the USGA cutting back from U grooves to V grooves, I believe the Eidolon Golf wedges with V-Sole design will help make your transition that much easier when spin becomes an issue.

I like the feel of the Eidolon Prime Finished wedges. They inspire a sense of confidence. Like any other club, practice practice practice is the key. Having a quality wedge game is a key to lowering a handicap. You won’t go wrong with these beauties in your bag. A terrific effort once again from Eidolon Golf.

Though still a small company, Eidolon Golf has staked out a niche with its V-Sole wedges. Under the direction of Koehler, a 30-year industry veteran, Eidolon Golf continues to carve out a reputation for extraordinary wedges, custom-built to each individual order. Koehler, who writes a popular blog as thewedgeguy.com, is formerly Director of Marketing for Ben Hogan, founder of Reid Lockhart Golf and President of Reid Lockhart/Ray Cook.

Eidolon Golf's innovative approach to wedges is built around the company's patented V-Sole technology, which combines the advantages of low and high bounce into each wedge loft. Golfers no longer have to make a choice in the store that may not work with all shots on the course. Eidolon’s V-Sole wedges also feature CNC-milled faces and grooves for extraordinary spin and premium Rifle Spinner and SCoR graphite shafts. The company even includes a copy of its popular book, "The SCoR Method" with each wedge order to help its customers refine their short games.
