Description Built on a tour-proven design for ultimate shot-making and up-and-down control, the Ben Hogan Colonial Wedge features numerous common elements found in tour players wedges. Increased offset delivers optimum trajectory control, while CNC milled U shaped grooves with radiused edges give you superior spin and green-side control. Its forged 1020 carbon steel construction provides an exceptional feel.
Summary: Ive had these quite a while and put them away when I sold my hogan irons 3 years ago. Meanwhile Ive been using Titleist vokeys in 52º, 56º & 60º with Titleist irons.
What brought them out of the garage was the sale of the irons. I also wanted to use a 5 wood & one less wedge. So I had the 56º bent to 58º. This changed its bounce also from 10º to 12º. It turned out to be no detriment but ideal.
Now the 58º can open for lob shots and is still great from sand and rough. The added bounce on tight lies is not a problem. I just play the ball back a bit and I even get those nice pitches that dart to the pin & stop sharply.
What I most like is the feel & look (satin finish) of these forged wedges. After playing vokeys a while the better feel is very noticable. The spin is quite good and my pro v1x scuff less. They can get hairy with vokeys. The apex shaft is (to me) better than DG and very underrated.

Summary: bought this wedge for $90 cnd, with the lower bounce it allows for better shots off the fairway; however, it takes a while to get used to when hitting out of the sand. the square grind allows for an easier set up and comes through the ball square to the target. would recommend this club to some who plays on dry and fast course, as the low bounce comes through the cleaner.

Summary: Bought these wedges at a good price from Callaway Pre-owned in 'Like New' condition. First thing you realize is that the grips are just to get the club out the door. Replaced with a midsized Lamkin smooth tour wrap, which dialed in the wedges for me.
These are forged carbon steel wedges with a satin finish. Glare is not an issue.
Very soft feel and the wedges hold greens great. Good spin and great out of the sand.
The sole grind is different than other wedges out there allowing it to be forgiving from the sand IMHO. You can throw it at the hole and it will check close and not run off the green like some other clubs.
My short game has gotten better as a result of these wedges. I am starting to dip into the eighties from time to time now.
Good weighting helps get through the rough around the green also. These are the wedges I am using now. My previous wedges were Bazooka Jmax which were very good as well, but the hogans seem to hit it tighter to the flagstick for me.
Golfsmith has been moving these from $40-$50 bucks lately and they are hard to beat at that price.
Definitely worth a try if in the market for new wedges.

Summary: After buying, and loving, the Hogan Apex Edge Pro irons I thought I'd give these a try. The Apex Edge Pro pitching wedge is at 46 degrees so I thought going 4 degree spread on the scoring clubs might benifit me. Boy did it ever!!! Having the extra wedge in the bag with a good even spread of distance on a normal swing has done wonders. The clubs are definitely Hogans,good weighting, butter feel, good distance control, good value (much cheaper than titliest or cleveland). Only knocks I have are the grips are not the best (replaced right away) and as with all chrome high loft clubs, you get a bit of uncomforting glare at set up if the sun is at the right place in the sky. Overall, a very good line of wedges with lots of degree options to choose from.
Customer Service: never used
