I've come a club I've had for who knows how long, and thought I might play with it.  It is a Ben Hogan Model 5711, and it looks like it is a Sand Wedge, but it doesn't say what the loft is.  I have a protractor, but can't get an accurate reading because of the rounded sole.  Can any of guys help me out here?  Knock'm'Stiff!

Hi we'll like to help you. 

There are a number of Ben Hogan collectors out there. 
You probably will have better luck getting good information if you post a photo or two. 

I'm sure that will help.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
