I used to play Ben Hogan Apex irons 10 years ago and loved them but for some stupid reason was persuaded to switch to a cast cavity back.

I've been a Ben Hogan fan for some time and I finally got my hands on a mint set of FTX's on Ebay for £127.00 stg. I had got tired of my fitted Ping G15's and i wanted a club that demanded better swing mechanics to perform to its maximum. And boy do these clubs deliver. You really have to put the concentration in on every shot but the rewards are so worth it. After just a week in the bag I love them so much that I have must bought an older set of APEX pure blades to practice with.

I happened upon a set of these in the used section of Golf Galaxy, procured them and headed to the club. To my delight the grass range had recently been cut by Ygnacio and I was the first to swing on the fresh turf.

Ok, this is the second set of Ben Hogan clubs I've bought within a month. 3-e for $90 with clubs in very good to excellent condition. Some look almost unused and the 7 iron has been the most used out of the set. I took these out for 18 holes to give them a whirl. The first 3 holes were what did my score (double, triple, triple) in as I wasn't hitting them well (putting was fine). But I managed to dial in my shots from that point on with a few toe hits. The toe hits fell 20-30 yards short (and stung) of what a good hit should have done. It was all a matter of getting my tempo slower, good contact, and letting the club do its job. Although I ended up with a 95, I still felt good about my round and still seem to hit long irons better than my hybrids.

I found this new on Ebay under $200 so I thought I'd give them a try. Beautiful forged irons as I'd expect from Hogan. Easy to work the ball either way and the sweet spot is bigger than I'd thought it would be. I would say you should be a 10 handicap or less to fully appreciate these irons. Only criticism is they are about 1/2 club shorter than the most "new" irons; I suspect that is due to new irons lofts being stronger.

Ben Hogan irons are the best of all irons to work the ball right or left. I have tried every time of game improvement club and my scores go up. When I hit hogans I hit more greens, closer to the pin than any other iron. I am so bummed they are not making them anymore. Best irons every made by far... Customer Service I have had 6 hogan sets and sent one club back and Hogan fixed it as iron head just came unglued. Excellent just as you would expect from Callaway also.

Bought these on Ebay for £110. Firstly theyre the nicest club you'll ever see, beautiful design. ive been using them for the last 3 weeks and they've definatly cut shots off my game. very easy to shape the ball at will, while still being pretty forgiving. they get banged up easy due to the soft steel, but it just adds character to these classics. At around 120 quid on ebay you cannot beat these clubs for amazing value. I wouldn't listen to the other reviewers who say its for single figure handicappers, the blades (E-8iron) are easy to hit anyway because they're short clubs, and the long clubs have a decent cavity making them as forgiving as any improvement irons. I would recommended these clubs to anyone who demands more accuracy than regular cavity back improvers. I hit these clubs one club shorter than my previous MD Tour Steel's, but a hell of alot more accurate. Any Hogan Fan should buy these immediately, you will not regret it.

I just purchased a new set of hogan apex ftx irons,and used them for the first time on the course the other day.These clubs are dead accurate,when shotting over a 35-40 ft tree,60-100 yrds out using an 8 iron, not only did I hit the green with little effort but the ball stopped ona dime.I have no problem hitting the sweet spot and they feel great.The pw is alittle hard to get used to,but that will come around,I expect great things from these clubs this year,goodluck on the links dano.
