VICTORIA, Texas -- Renowned for having a historical return rate of only one percent, Eidolon Golf is putting its money where its wedges are with a new ''Satisfaction Guarantee'' program for golfers interested in trying an Eidolon V-Sole wedge.
The program works this way: Any customer who buys an Eidolon Golf V-Sole wedge, plays with it for 30 days and doesn't agree that it is the finest scoring tool he or she has ever played, can return the wedge to Eidolon and the company will buy the customer any competing wedge on the market the customer believes he or she would like better. In addition, Eidolon Golf will send the customer a $10 bill with the replacement wedge to cover the cost of shipping back the Eidolon wedge.
"At Eidolon Golf we're going all out to address any hesitation that a golfer might have of buying a wedge from a small upstart company that is challenging the 'wedge giants', Titleist and Cleveland,'' Eidolon Golf President/Founder Terry Koehler said. "We know we build better wedges than any other company in golf. They don't have our versatile and patented V-Sole technology. They don't give this much attention to their grooves for added spin. And they certainly don't offer the selection of shafts and custom-fitting that we do. Eidolon can back our wedges with this bold Satisfaction Guarantee because we know every golfer who buys one will love it, and probably come back for matching wedges to complement his first Eidolon."
Koehler said that the average Eidolon wedge owner is playing almost 2.5 wedges of his company's product.
"What we're saying to the golf world is this: If you are thinking of buying a new wedge, you risk nothing by trying an Eidolon first. If you don't like it, we'll buy you that Titleist, Cleveland or any other wedge you think you'd like better, and we'll give you $10 to cover the cost of shipping ours back to us. There's no way any other golf company would dare back their products this way.
"The Satisfaction Guarantee program punctuates just how confident we are in the performance of Eidolon Golf wedges as difference makers for any players' short game. Our historic return rate is less than one percent, and our repeat customer rate is almost 100 percent.''

Eidolon Golf continues to build a strong reputation for designing and crafting the finest wedges in golf. No other wedges on the market today can match the patented V-Sole wedges' ball-stopping spin, extraordinary feel and versatile playability.
Koehler, a former director of marketing at the Ben Hogan Company and co-founder of Reid Lockhart Golf, founded Eidolon Golf in 2002 and introduced the Eidolon Wedges with patented V-Sole Technology in 2003. Since then the company has steadily grown to become a leader in the custom wedge marketplace, at retail and through sales from its Web site, www.eidolongolf.com.
Koehler's blog, www.TheWedgeGuy.com, has become one of the most popular golf blogs on the internet, as it is filled with practical advice and tips that lead to lower scores. Koehler also appears on the Golf SmarterTips.com podcast each Wednesday with tips and ideas on the short game.
Eidolon V-Sole wedges provide shotmaking versatility not found in other wedges. With Eidolon Golf's patented V-Sole Technology, the leading edge of the wedge's sole — about one-quarter of an inch — has an aggressive bounce (15 degrees on the 48-degree pitching wedge, 18 degrees on the 52-degree gap wedge, 30 degrees on the 56-degree wedge, and 25 degrees on the 60-degree wedge) that ensures that the leading edge never digs into the turf. The primary rear portion of the sole features minimal bounce — three degrees on the 48 pitching wedge and 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 V-Sole design, Eidolon Golf 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.
