Description From Ben Hogan Golf:
"When Ben Hogan introduced the first forged, perimeter-weighted irons in 1989, he built the club some said, "couldn't be made." The "impossible" combination of perimeter-weighted forgiveness and forged feel. This experience, technology and innovation shapes the Ben Hogan Apex Plus. Many golfers have aspired to play a Ben Hogan Apex. Now, the perimeter-weighted Apex Plus provides an appreciably larger sweet spot across the face of the club, from heel to toe. Off-center hits will go longer, be more accurate and just happen to "feel" a lot better, too."

Summary: I have been carrying some Hogan equipment in my bag for a few years now, however, my base iron set was a Callaway X14. In May, I kinda stole a set of these at a used equipment show in Dayton Ohio for $120. I know that as a "bad" or "average" golfer, I got no business playing clubs like these. When i first took them to the Range,I knew that I would never get another "game improvement" set of irons again. By playing these clubs (admittedly a bit easier than pure blades, but anyway) i have gotten to the level where i should hit pure shots every time. Since i know when and why i hit a bad shot, it makes me not want to hit a bad shot. By hitting these pure, it makes me want to practice and get better, dig the secret out of the dirt, and hit more good shots. In short, I have seen the fallicy of game improvement clubs, technology, and the like. Its gotten so bad that I've almost put my Razr Hawk Tour out to pasture for an old MacGregor Challenger persimmon driver.
The secret is in the dirt.
Customer Service: No need. However, Callaway, my modern favorite, killed them...

Shoots in the 70s
Model Reviewed: Ben Hogan Apex plus Irons
Summary: Let me start by saying I have played a hand full of sets over all my years playing and found that true golfers love the equipment they started with. The Hogan Apex Plus are simply some the best irons ever made. There are a handful of sets that you can go back to again and again that have the flight, feel and register of these. In todays market new clubs are available by a select few that capture this, by the way they all cost over 799.00 - 1999.00! Why when you can pick these up on ebay for 90.00-200.00! The feel is like a... "hot knife through butter when struck right." I have heard this said over and over to review this set. The weight and forged feel of these make sure you are rewarded with the proper flight and trajectory right off the sweet spot is what we all mean to say. A mid flight with a slight right to left bend and plenty of feel to will the ball in the direction you want it to go once learned. No other Fat headed bantering over sweet spot clubs can teach you to break below the 70's or shoot consistently in them. So if you are ready or ever want to know how to shape your shots with clubs that tell the truth, reward tempo and a proper impact position these are for you. The original quality of Hogan will be missed and I simply doubt that Callaway Golf after purchasing the name will ever resurrect anything close to how these were originally made and feel. I have changed the shafts to Project X how ever and love the feel so way to go Callaway on the project X shafts! In conclusion if you do not own a set like this you should simply to improve your game and feel what you are missing. Forged irons give feel and allow you to move to the next level of golf. If you are like many golfers, even the youngest pro's of today you started on forged irons and never looked back!
Summary: I have used these irons for about 8 years and the have served me well. They promote a great feel on all irons fom 3 - P and also a huge plus is the distances and workability they offer. They age well and look great in your hand and in the bag.
The best clubs for all handicaps. Low handicaps cant go wrong with these, you will almost never hit a bad strike.
Customer Service: exellent

Summary: I have been using the Apex Plus irons for the past 10 years. I was thinking about buying a new set of forged of irons. I tried a set of Mizuno MP-52's. The Mizuno look like the Apex Plus, and felt like them? I can't see any reason to drop another $ 800.00 to get almost the same set of clubs I have!
The Hogan Apex are a great club for good players. The price is right and if you are looking to play a great forged iron I would try to get my hands on a set.
Customer Service: I have never had to use them in 10 years.
