Eidolon Golf adds to V-Sole line with 48-degree Pitching Wedge

PORT O’ CONNOR, Texas - Eidolon Golf, the leader is short game technology, is expanding its line of patented V-SOLE ® wedges with the addition of a new 48-degree Pitching Wedge. The new wedge is available for purchase online via the Company’s Website (www.eidolongolf.com). The new 48-degree Pitching Wedge also is available through Eidolon’s network of Certified Wedge Fitters by March 1, 2007.

Eidolon’s V-SOLE® technology utilizes two distinct bounce angles in the sole to provide versatile shotmaking playability from all kinds of lies. The main rear portion of the sole has three degrees of bounce, insuring clean shots from tight lies and fairway. The V-SOLE ® technology then implies 15 degrees of bounce to the leading ¼” of the sole to prevent the leading edge from digging and to provide optimum performance from rough and even long bunker shots.

“The industry has compromised pitching wedges over the years, making them nothing more than just another short iron. In fact, many iron sets put ‘pitching wedge’ on lofts that used to be 9-irons or even 8-irons. That severely compromises a golfer’s short game,” said Eidolon Golf President Terry Koehler.

Like the Eidolon Gap Wedge (52 degrees), Mid Wedge (56 degrees) and Lob Wedge (60 degrees), the new 48-degree Pitching Wedge features a face that is CNC-milled to perfect flatness. The modified V- grooves that are also CNC milled for absolute precision and optimum spin. The new Pitching Wedge will come standard with Eidolon’s new SCôR™ grip and Aria™ proprietary composite shaft technology.

“As we have experienced rapid growth over the past few years, we’ve also earned extraordinary customer loyalty,” Koehler said. “Our customers began asking for an Eidolon V-SOLE ® pitching wedge to replace those that came with their sets of irons, so we have responded. With our patented V-SOLE ® technology, CNC milled face and grooves, and our new grip and shaft technology, I feel comfortable claiming this to be the finest pitching wedge in golf.”

One of Eidolon’s Certified WedgeFitters - Jim Thomas of Lakeway Pro-Fit Golf Studio in Austin, Texas - was among the first to see the pre-production sample of the new wedge, and was enthused about its potential.

“I showed the production sample to three customers on the day it was in my shop, and took three advance orders right away. I will be recommending the Eidolon V-SOLE ® Pitching Wedge as a replacement in almost every set I fit and build from now on,” said Thomas. “My customers are ecstatic about scoring improvement that the Eidolon wedges.”

Like all Eidolon V-SOLE ® wedges, the new 48-degree Pitching Wedge is precision-cast of 8620 carbon steel with double nickel and satin chrome plating. Weight, loft and lie tolerances are the tightest in the industry. It features a standard shaft length of 35-3/4” and lie angle of 63.5 degrees.

The Eidolon 48-degree Pitching Wedge will carry a suggested retail price of $139 with Eidolon’s new SCôR™ grip and Aria™ composite shaft that Eidolon has developed for all their wedges for 2007.
