Ben Hogan The Hawk Summary:
A ball the market should not miss, acceptable was a winter ball as it is soft, but once the temp rises above 45-50 it flys nowhere for me. Customer Service:

Hogan Hawk Summary:
I was in search for a ball I could call my own last summer. I tried just about every ball I could find including, NXT/Tours, ProV1/X, HX Tour, and Nike One (plus a few others I found on the course). I saw the Hawks on the shelf at Academy and decided to give them a try mainly because I've been impressed with Ben Hogan quality in their other products. I'm not a great golfer but shoot consistantly in the mid 80's occasionally falling into the low 90's on a bad day. I gave each ball a good try playing a few rounds with all but I kept coming back to the Hawk. The BH Hawk matches my swing speed and style of play perfectly. I hit them farther off the tee and can sometimes back it up on the green with a solid strike of my short irons. (I play BH Edge Pro irons and a Callaway X Tour driver.) The Hawks feel a little harder off the tee than the other tour balls and there is a little "click" when putting. However, that firm feel yields more confidence on the green and I tend to put more consistently. They are very durable and clean up nicely. I love the ProV1s but they are way too expensive for my budget. In reality, I'd rather play with the Hawks anyway, regardless of price. Customer Service:

Ben Hogan - The Hawk Summary:
I used to hit the MC Lady - I do not have a fast swing and I got better distance and control with a softer ball. Then, I saw The Hawks on sale at Golfsmith for $14.99/doz and bought a box.
I love this ball. I get decent distance and it feels really good around the greens. The cover is urethane, thin and soft. The cover feels a bit firmer than say an HX Tour/Tour56 but still spins well. In warm weather, it feels very soft around the greens. I also like the way it feels when putting.
This was my first 3 piece ball in regular use and I will continue to buy them for the time being. Similar Products Used:
MC Lady, Noodle Long/Soft, Loco, Maxfli A3 solid

Shoots in the 70s Summary:
I love this ball. I got bored with the Pro V1 and wanted a change. This ball certainly suits me in all areas of my game without exception. I can work it, it goes long with the driver and it stops when I want it to. I recently drover a 306 metre par 4 (sorry yanks - don't know what that is in yards) so despite what I have read about it's low compression it certainly goes well off the tee - and the price is right too. You can't go wrong with this ball.

Shoots in the 70s Summary:
I bought this ball along with the Tour Deeps for comparison against my tradional 2 favorites, the Pro V1 and Nike Powersoft; (see my Tour Deep review under that ball); given the high reviews of the improved version of The Hawk, I was surprised.....to see how uninspiring it was. It felt much harder than the 75 compression would suggest, and the elastomer cover doesn't feel or play responsive. Distance off all the clubs was fine, but not noteworthy.
For me, a ball has to "outperform" others, at least in one or more areas, to really have something to offer.
This ball has nothing to offer, IMHO; I'd play the Wilson PX3 long before this one, for example.
The Hawk is an okay ball, but there are plenty that are much, much better. Customer Service:
I asked a question about their compression ratings; they told me they don't publish their compression. I asked them, "Then why are your compression ratings listed on your website then?" No answer........... Similar Products Used:
Just about every other ball that has a chance of being good.
