Eidolon V-SOLE Wedge
Eidolon V-SOLE Wedge, 52°, 56°, and 60° loft, 35.25” length, with Rifle Spinner by Precision steel shaft and Royal Perf Wrap grip.
Manufacturer's Description
The V-SOLE™ wedges from Eidolon Golf incorporate patented technology that utilizes two distinct bounce angles in the sole, a feature that makes each wedge more versatile than conventional wedges that only have a single bounce angle. The wedges are available in 52, 56 and 60 degree lofts. The heads are precision cast from mild 8620 carbon steel and feature CNC-milled faces and grooves. The heads are satin polished to prevent glare and plated, first with two layers of nickel for a soft surface feel, and then chrome so that it won't rust. Eidolon's standard shaft is the Rifle® Spinner® by Precision®, available in Regular and Firm flexes, and two grips are offered, the Royal® Perf Wrap and Classic V Comfort Cord. Eidolon Golf backs up its wedges with a unique "Satisfaction Guarantee". Any customer that doesn’t think his new Eidolon wedge is the best he could have chosen can return the wedge to the company and they'll replace it with whatever competing product the customer wants. Additionally, the company offers a Lifetime Warranty on the wedges. The company will repair or replace any Eidolon product for the life of the original registered owner. The V-SOLE™ wedges are currently available with manufacturer direct pricing of $119 each and $109 each with purchase of three or more.

Eidolon V-SOLE Wedge Review:
| Feel | ||
| The V-SOLE™ 56 degree wedge has a measured swingweight of D6 and provides a very crisp and solid feel at impact on well-struck shots. The wedges are cast from a mild carbon steel that produces a soft feel similar to forged wedges. | ||
|
||
| Looks | ||
| The V-SOLE™ wedge offers a high-quality design, fit, and finish. The appearance is very striking and traditional. The heads had a soft satin finish that reduces glare. The stampings on the wedge are clean and provide an elegant and sophisticated look. | ||
|
||
| Performance | ||
| The “V” shaped sole provides two bounces for each loft. One is on the leading edge and one is on the trailing edge. We found this feature to increase the playability of the wedges by the variety of shots we could hit compared to similarly lofted wedges. We also found that the wedges produced an abundance of spin, a result caused by the CNC milled faces with wide and deep grooves. We did notice that these wedges were a little rough on golf balls, shredding the softer cover golf balls. | ||

| Summary | ||
The V-SOLE™ wedge from Eidolon Golf receives high marks for accuracy, versatility, spin, and traditional good looks. They offer a guarantee that “stands alone” in today’s industry. The guarantee is this: "Play any Eidolon V-SOLE wedge for up to 30 days. If you don't agree it's everything we claim, just send it back and we'll process a full refund on your credit card -- no questions asked". The bottom line is that there is no risk in trying out these wedges. No other manufacturer that we are aware of offers this kind of guarantee. We also liked the dual bounce design and felt that this feature made these wedges extremely playable from a variety of lies. The V-SOLE™ wedges from Eidolon Golf will appeal to golfers of all abilities looking for a traditional looking wedge that performs as advertised. |
