Ben Hogan adds new mallet putter and additional finishes for 2021
Based on the success of the putter line launched in 2019, Ben Hogan is upping its putter game with new finishes and a new mallet-style putter for 2021, the BHM02.
The BHM02 is a multi-material head made from a milled aluminum face attached to a milled 304 SS body. Although the shape is familiar, the construction is not. By utilizing the various materials in the head, designers had the ability to move more mass back and towards the perimeter, making it the highest MOI putter in the Ben Hogan lineup.
“Feel is especially important on the putting green. That’s why the original Precision Milled Forged Putter line from Ben Hogan, which debuted in 2019, was crafted from soft, 1025 carbon steel, as the forging process strengthens and purifies the molecular structure of the steel to refine and tighten the grain structure of the head which, in turn, provides for uniform density across the entire clubface.” -Scott White, CEO of BenHogan Golf Equipment Company
Also for 2021, the most popular models in the existing line, the BHB01, BHB03, and BHM01 models, will be offered with a new Platinum Nickel finish option.

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.

I saw a set of Hogan Medallion irons at a Play it Again Sports. 2-W with a Hogan SW. Long irons had no offset, but the short irons did. Very tempting to purchase just to have around. No putter though. Hogan used the basic simple putter.

Ben Hogan disliked putting so much that he would play rounds without putting, just add two to the number of shots it took him to reach the green. Bizarre for a brand bearing his name to bet on putters.
