Hogan Radial Summary:
I've been playing these clubs on and off for 26 years. I got a set with shorter Vector 1 shafts as a 12 year-old as my first set of full clubs (3-E). I still have them and are saving them for my now seven year-old son. In high school, I got a newer, also used set, in men's lengths with Apex 3 shafts (2-E) and Hogan Special K wedges (56 and 62). I love the whole set and see no reason to replace the long irons with hybrids.
I've also played Ping Eye 2 and ISI but later realized that growing up playing small, muscleback irons was most fortunate. It taught me to groove a swing and put the sweetspot on the ball. There's no reason for anyone with a reasonably grooved swing can't play clubs like these.
I found playing the over-sized Pings made me lazy with that big sweet spot and I often didn't quite hit it right. I suspect a combination of the optics and club head size are at work here.
I find I can hit fades, draws, knockdowns...whatever you want to hit, no problem. The set up is easy to square up and these are among the longest clubs I've hit despite the weaker lofts. If anything, I prefer these lofts and love the 50* E wedge. No need for a gap wedge with this set and nice spacing between the clubs. Driver, 3 wood, 2-E, S, and L with the putter make a great set.
I still play the Radials regularly, but have switched to a set of Apex blades for most of my play. They're both great, great clubs though and will probably refinish my Radials soon and get another 20 years out of them. Similar Products Used:
Ping ISI, Hogan Apex, 1960's blades, Ping Eye2

Hogan Radials Summary:
I've always thought to find the best irons is to find the best iron player. In my opinion you can't find a better iron player than Ben Hogan. I have played since I was 12 years old but got out of the game for a few years due to arm problems. I bought these on Ebay this past summer, they're a nice set of clubs for the money. The Apex 4 shaft is a bit too stiff for me, so I traded them in for Apex Channel Backs with 3 flex. The radial head is amazing, really sets up perfectly everytime, especially the long irons. You don't tend to close or open it at adress, if you do you'll notice with it's larger muscle back design. A great set of clubs, it's hard to beat Ben Hogan products. Customer Service:
Never had to use them. Similar Products Used:
Tommy Armor 845u Silverbacks, Ben Hogan Apex Pc.

hogan Radials Summary:
My dad bought these clubs back in 1989 from a local club. I was just one year old and i have to say i never thought i would be playing with irons as old i me. He did not use them much and i stated to play with them and they are just so pure ( like butter). They look so good when you are standing over the club looking down on it. They just dont make anything like the muscle backs anymore. I dont think i will ever get ride of these irons. In fact im trying to find someone that can refurbish them for me. But all in all if you are looking for some new irons. i would for sure take a look at these. Remember they are some what hard to hit at first but once you figure them out they are your new best friend

83 - 86 Hogan Radial Irons Summary:
I bought mine at a resale store for $1.00 apiece and feel like a bandit. I didn't like them at first because they were about 1 full club shorter than all my other irons, which were cavity back irons. I then lengthened the shafts 1 1/8 inch and regripped them with Winn midsize grips and now they are my favorite clubs replacing my spaldings and dunlops. Other golfers I play with think they're difficult to hit because they're old, but after they try them they eat their words. If you get the chance to buy some, do it, but don't forget they were made a long time ago and may need to reworking to make them perform to todays standards. I have 2 through E(PW) and may replace them one day but a new set of Hogans is about $700 dollars, so it may be awhile. Customer Service:
