SS 398

The Von's Golf SS 398 is an Anser-based design, at least according to kingdomofgolf.blogspot.com, which describes the shape as based on the venerable Anser. That lineage puts it in familiar company, but the details the publication reports around it are what set this release apart: a smooth face free of milling marks, a tool-like satin finish, and a head weight the site put at 375 grams. Kingdomofgolf.blogspot.com also reported that the SS 398 came in three different hosel lengths and in a choice of steel or bronze, with pricing listed at $285 and $275, and custom versions running upwards of $1000.

Community opinion on the SS 398 leans favorable on feel. One reviewer called the heavy head feel right, praised a buttery feel, and pointed to a delightful sound of impact. Kingdomofgolf.blogspot.com struck a similar note, writing that the heft of the Vons just feels right, and feels right immediately. No dissenting take on feel is on record here, but weight, material choice, and finish are all things a buyer would want to confirm for themselves given that everything above comes from a single outlet's reporting rather than the maker or a verified spec sheet.
