Hogan Wedges....Tour Series, 56XX, & 50XX

[bcstones]

Came across these wedges in a Hogan Wedge stash looking for something else....Tour Series F (528) forged, Tour Series S (56*) forged, 5612 forged, two 5613 forged Sure Out (one w/steel shaft no band & the other w/Apex graphite shaft), & 5010 F (50*).....anyone have any idea of when these came out.....or any history, somehow I'm figuring post 2000...

ok, was just at the Jeff Sheets site purusing the profile...found an answer to my question & the pics on the site are similar to what I have....sooooo, I guess I might have 4, maybe 5, out of the 7. Hum....:

 

Model: Special Wedges
Material: Billet Forged 1030 Carbon Steel with Nickel/Chrome Plating
Introduction: 1999

When I first began working on the Hogan Special Wedges I was presented a set of prototypes that Tom Stites had produced at Impact Engineering. While each model was classic yet unique in its own right the wedges tended to split into two different sets based on their face profiles. We managed to get them blended together into an offering of seven different lofts exclusive of the forever popular Sure Out. This family was truly a beautiful set from their styling, engineering, manufacturing and finishing. Forged at Endo Manufacturing in Nigata, Japan.
