Ben Hogan Golf unveils new putter lineup
The Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company debuted its new line of putters today via a press release on their social media platforms and website.
Unveiling four new putter models, the flatsticks are each priced at $250.00 apiece and can be bought exclusively on the Ben Hogan website as a part of their direct-to-consumer business model. Each putter is milled in a black metal finish and the length, lie, and grip are all customizable online.

“The new CNC precision milled putters are crafted from soft, 1020 carbon steel in a multi-step forging process that strengthens and purifies the molecular structure of the metal. True forging refines and tightens the grain structure of the steel and provides for uniform density across the entire face. This eliminates hot spots, or dead areas, and results in unparalleled feel, consistent distance control and “trueness” on every roll.”
“Complementing the unique design features of the new Ben Hogan Precision Milled FORGED Putters, which are available in four (4) traditional head models with clean, elegant lines, is a proprietary DBM (Diamond Black Metal) finish. The most durable black finish on the market, DBM eliminates glare and generates more contrast with the ball and putting surface to promote better alignment. Additionally, the face of every Ben Hogan Precision Milled FORGED putter is CNC milled for perfect flatness from heel to toe.”
“A 100% forged, CNC precision milled putter is not the least expensive nor the easiest way to make a putter by any means, but at Ben Hogan Golf we believe it is the best way,” said Scott White, CEO, Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company. “Serious golfers demand precision and performance on the greens, and the new Ben Hogan Precision Milled Forged putters deliver. They look great, but perform even better.”
The four models in the new line of Ben Hogan Golf Precision Milled Forged Putters include
- Plumber’s Neck Blade
- 1 shaft offset, 2° loft and 355 gram head weight
- 43° toe hang to promote an active gate-swing putting stroke
- Player’s Blade with a double bend shaft
- 1 full shaft offset, 2° loft and 355 gram head weight
- Face balanced for those who putt with a straight-back, straight-through stroke
- Iconic Player’s Blade with a flowing neck
- 1 shaft offset, 2° loft and 355 gram head weight
- 50° of toe hang, ideal for an active open/close stroke
- Player’s Mallet
- Single bend shaft and ½ shaft offset, 2° loft and 370 gram head weight
- Face balanced for those who putt with a straight-back, straight-through stroke
Additionally, Ben Hogan Golf has partnered with SuperStroke to offer golfers a choice of three popular grip styles: Flatso 1.0, MidSlim 2.0, Slim 3.0
Ben Hogan Golf’s line-up of Precision Milled Forged Putters, which sell for $250 each, are available for purchase exclusively at www.BenHoganGolf.com.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @raw10628 has a L.A.B. DF3 putter and Masters putter cover up for grabs.
From the listing: “Some great items here today, time to thin out and make room for next set of gear. All prices include shipping.
LAB DF3 Purple 33.5” 68° lie with TPT – $725. LAB Masters release DF3 cover – $150.”

BH may want 2 consider that this feedback is coming from the super users. Demand is LOW, perceived value is incongruent w/pricing, but we’re here talking about yr product still. Bully for that! Secret is in the dirt you say? Maybe promote traditional way? Senior tour players & team up w/artisan club makers, demonstrative tech or all of the above? Hope this helps Jamho3

What, pray tell, do these putters bring to the fray?
I bought a Heavy Putter because I was intrigued by the super swing weight. I bought a Happy Putter because I was intrigued by how it was adjustable all over the place. And I recently bought a Bloodline putter because the stand-up capability is really unique.
All three–which represent my whole putter purchasing history for the past decade or so–were innovative beyond belief. But these? Meh.

Named after a notoriously bad putter. Yeah, that’ll work.

Lol. Count this as a reply to both your comments. If you are looking for gimmicks in your putters, you probably just need to work on your putting. I’m sure these are simple, great quality putters. Just as good as scotty without the inflated ego “look at me” price behind it.

Why is 250 a bad price ? Scottys are 600 and do not look any better , and probably do not put any better.
Just one persons opinion!

Nice looking……pass

Let’s say these putters are pro line golf equipment. Today it sells for $250; buy it; next day it’s $20 per the PGA value guide.

Very boring looking putters nothing new at all to see there. Certainly not worth $250.

I will second that…just like Cleveland did in the past, same old PING copies form the 60’s just do something fancy with the paint, or face..or like these forged instead of cast….at least Cleveland held the price down…a $129 putter for $250…TRADE IN VALUE WILL BE LESS THEN $50 IN LESS THEN A YEAR.

Not sure that the $250 price is a deterrent in as much as whether the putter market needs another company joining in. They probably are nice putters but odyssey has some nice ones in the $200 range that are hard to beat. Ping too for that matter.

They look really nice but it’s an awkward price point. Maybe it will work for them, who knows.
I’m curious how they came up with weights in the 355-370 range. Seems a bit heavy to me but maybe they have some reason behind it.

Would like to see adjustable weights at bottom on a $250 putter.

I agree that the price point seems very high. I am curious to know what the difference is between these Hogan putters and say the new Wilson Staff Milled series or even the Cleveland Huntington Beach series?

Really disappointed with the $250 price tag. I was excited up until that part

They should have at least tried to mimic the Rife/Evnroll grooves, instead of this bad Scotty rip off face milling

$250! That is an absurd price.

Quality looks top notch but really, the asking price is too much. Given that the ‘variable’ groove technology were shown to give improved putting result, I cannot see a reason why they were not included in the face milling.

Anything can be “shown” to make improvements. I should be about 40 yards longer than I was 10 years ago with all of the 3-4 yards I’m told I’ll get every year going from one years’ model to the next. C’mon. On the course, can you tell a difference between two putters with the exact same loft, lie, weight, length, etc but one with grooves and one without?
