PORT O’CONNOR, Texas — A golf industry leading innovator in wedge design, Eidolon Golf announces that 2005 sales of its award-winning V-SOLE® wedges increased by more than 250 percent over 2004. Eidolon is celebrated as the leader in short game innovation and the dramatic popularity of the V-SOLE wedge is greatly responsible for that entitlement. The V-SOLE wedges have received extremely high accolades from many, respected golf publications throughout the year, including Golf Tips Magazine, Sweden’s own Golfbladet (The Golf Digest) and PGATOUR Partners Magazine.
"There had not been any meaningful technological design advancements in wedges for more than 40 years, and golfers are hungry for short game solutions that go beyond superficial raw finishes and ‘voodoo’ metallurgy," says Terry Koehler, president of Eidolon Golf. "Our patented V-SOLE® wedges represent a genuine technological design advancement that allows extreme shot-making versatility from any lie conditions. Golfers everywhere are extremely happy that consumers are trying these premium wedges and finding real game improvement."
Koehler, a former Ben Hogan executive and founder of Reid Lockhart Golf, formed Eidolon Golf in late 2001 with a goal of creating a premium golf equipment company that would have a direct relationship with its customers — both consumers and trade professionals. This philosophy had lead to a fast and furious first two years of success for Eidolon, which is achieving huge notoriety as having some of the most innovative short game equipment in the industry.
"At Eidolon, we want to provide golfers with the best possible scoring tools on the market. We know what these wedges are capable of, so we back up every sale with the strongest money back guarantee in the business. And, it is working wonderfully," says Koehler. "Since we started, our return rate is less than one percent. We get more that rave about our products and want to know what other innovations and tricks we have up our sleeve that can help them improve their game."
Eidolon’s best-selling club, the V-SOLE wedges, provide excellent shot-making versatility not found in other wedges. With Eidolon’s patented 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.
