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.
Ben Hogan putters: Price, specs, and availability
All of the Precision Milled Forged putters are custom built to order, although the standard length is 35.0”. The standard lie angle is 70.0 degrees, and they can be adjusted from the factory up to 72 and down to 68 degrees
All of the Ben Hogan Precision Milled Forged putters can be found on the Hogan website and are priced at $195.00 with the choice of four SuperStroke grips
- SuperStroke Traxion Flatso 1.0
- SuperStroke Traxion MidSlim 2.0
- SuperStroke Traxion Slim 3.0
- SuperStroke Pistol GT 1.0

What GolfWRXers are saying about deep faced 5 and 7-woods

In our forums, our members have been discussing the best deep faced 5 and 7-woods. WRXer ‘Provx’ kicks off the thread, saying
“I tend to deloft quite a lot, and for this reason I use a 5 and 7 wood instead of 3 and 5. This also causes me to live in fear of popping up shallow faced woods because I hit them high on the face due to the way I present the club.
I am a higher swing speed low-cap golfer, so also not looking for draw-biased clubs and what not.”
And our members have been sharing their suggestions for ‘Provx’ in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- swgolf12: “If you’re not dead set on newer models, the Callaway X2 Hot 5 deep would certainly fit the bill for a 5 wood. Maybe look at one of the older TM 5HL woods to cover the 7. They tend to have some deeper faces.”
- scooterhd2: “Callaway 5 deep. For the 7 wood, I’d probably be looking at more of a players hybrid. Those are going to have taller faces than any wood.”
- QuigleyDU: “The new Mizuno fairway woods are pretty deep. They do not have a 7 wood, though. For that, go Titleist.”
- bopper53: “Check out the Sub 70 Pro Fairways, they are about as deep as any new club these days. Very forgiving and good off the deck as well.”
