Summary: I play to a 8 handicap. I've been using the Cobra Carbon CB irons (similar to Villegas's 3 iron) stiff shaft for over a year now. I was looking in the market for a different set of irons. My club pro Ben Mundle plays Ben hogan. I checked the internet and found this practically new Ben Hogan Edge CFT irons regular shaft. Got them for a bargain. Took them to the range yesterday and boy was i surprised. the irons are long and straight. Good hits reward you with a nice sound and good distance. Mis-hits are not as long but they're still straight as hell. i loved the 6 iron the best averaging 190-200 yards. If there's anyone out there looking for irons in between super game improvement and blades, this is it baby. By the time i was done with hitting the balls, i was convinced Ben Hogan was a Japanese. No one can make such forgiving irons as japanese do so now it gets me to think that ben hogans name must have been ben hogano. Super super clubs.
Summary: I have a set of the Apex Edge and hit them side by side with my CFTs today. At address they have similar topline but I noticed that the CFT is just a bit more compact which I didn't expect. There is a huge difference in these clubs due primarily to the compression forged titanium face of the CFT. The sweet spot seems far larger and they fly further without a doubt. I also noted that misses are more forgiven and with no shock to your senses. Overall the Edge CFT is a great set with considerable game improvement character and a refreshingly sophisticated look compared to the gaudy and blingy counterparts from the other OEMs. It's a shame the Hogan line is being allowed to fade out. Oh, I almost forgot, picking a like new set up for $39 made this a total no risk decision. After using them I would have readily paid more.

Summary: I bought these irons before Hogan sold to Callaway. Have been playing with them for 5 years. Tried other irons in this catagory and have not yet been convinced that they are that much better. Very happy with the feel and spin. When hit in the sweet spot has the feel of a forged iron, smoothe and buttery. I have steel shafts and get pretty accurate and consistant results. If you are going to get a used set of clubs these clubs are unmatched in my opinion both in price and overall satisfaction.

Summary: I am an average weekend golfer playing for almost over a year now. Started off with a cheap used set bought from a local seller (Nick Price steel blades).
Most recently i started looking for a new set as my game wont improve any bit. I was looking for a more forgiving set rather than distance carrier.
After reviewing many sets and going through tons of reviews on this great site i shortlisted x-16 and x-Tour. By chance my proshop salesman showed me Ben Hogan Edge CFT and gave me a great bargain.
I ended up buying it.
I just took them to the course today and tried them out... wow ... do i love them ... Yes ... the are the best ... i scored my best today and my first every birdy too.
Very accurate and have a very nice feel when you hit it right (which mostly you end up doing). Very forgiving and very accurate.
I also got 3 & 4 hybird .. to be honest i plan to take out my old fairway woods. So much so i T'ed off better than my i-Drive square driver with 3 hybird. Straight and good distance too.
The irons tend to the the ball very high and have much less roll so if you are iron distance from green you can just drop the ball dead where it falls.
Summary:
love them and will stick to them for many many years to come... atleat till i start hitting in 80s (which btw does not seem to be soon)
Highly recommended for high scorers.

Summary: Great irons. I spent a lot of time last winter researching different irons to improve my game. I was looking for a smaller, "classy" looking iron with minimal offset. I found the right set. Can I claim a great amount of improvement in my game.... no, I don't spend enough time at it. If you're the average weekend golfer who needs an accurate club that really doesn't give up a great amount, if any, distance then this is the right set. I've always loved playing irons and this is the final set. I now LOVE Hogan clubs, bought my 7 year old the matching Jr. set. Been playing these for 5 months, no trouble. Hopefully Calloway will start pushing Hogans to the public, they're sitting on a goldmine. Bottomline, I have faith in my irons. Always loved hitting a 3 iron and I can make it go.... far. Bought the sand wedge seperately, but I need the gap wedge to rep[lace my Ping M/B 52 wedge to make the set complete. If you only purchase 1 extra club, get the gap wedge before the sand wedge. Did I mention the lovely chrome finish.... wow. If you are not completely wrapped up in names but demand the best in the range between "players" irons and shovels, this is the right one.
