Ben Hogan entered the high-MOI putter market in June 2026 with three BHM mallets, and the BHM03 is the wingback of the set. It finished 12th of 29 in a 2026 mallet test and won the medium-putt category outright.
What's new
Ben Hogan builds the head in two pieces from 303 stainless steel and 6061 aluminum, then CNC mills the face. It weighs 311 grams with 3 degrees of loft and a 70-degree lie, and it comes on a KBS CT Tour Chrome shaft under a Lamkin Crossline Pistol grip.
Neck choice does the fitting. A plumber neck of 18 grams gives 30 degrees of toe hang, a 39-gram long neck pushes that to 45 degrees for stronger arcs, and a 30-gram face-balanced option suits a straight stroke. Pricing sits in the value tier, under what premium mallets cost.
How it plays
Against 28 other mallets in a 2026 test, the BHM03 placed 12th overall and took first on medium-length putts. Our scores follow that profile, with forgiveness at 8.4, feel at 8.3 and accuracy at 8.2.
Value rates 9.0, its best mark, and the reason is simple: you get a milled stainless face at a price that undercuts premium mallets. Distance scores 8.0 and workability 7.8, solid numbers that stop short of the head's mid-range form.
Where it lacks
Long putts did not reach the top band in that 2026 test, so lag work from across the green trails the medium-range results. If you three-putt from distance, weigh that against the category win.
A mid-width wingback flange gives less coverage than a full mallet, which matters to golfers who like a lot of head behind the ball. The series is also new, and there is little long-term feedback on it yet.
“It wins from mid range for value money. Roll a few long lag putts before you commit.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- Won the medium-putt category in a 29-model 2026 mallet test
- Plumber, face-balanced and long necks let one head suit an arcing stroke or a straight one
- Milled 303 stainless face for less money than most premium mallets ask
Reasons to think twice
- Long putts fell outside the top band in that same 2026 test
- Ben Hogan launched the BHM series in June 2026, so long-term feedback is thin
- Its wingback flange is a mid-width compromise rather than full mallet coverage
