Those Hogan irons were the closest thing to custom, professionally fitted clubs as I've ever had, or used.Up for sale is a vintage pair of Ben Hogan Apex Persimmon Oil Hardened 1 and 3 woods. Wish I still had those clubs! I've never hit any other irons as well! As far as which Hogan clubs a good golfer should use, I'd say any of them. I bought them and it wasn't till I got them home that I realized the were regular shafts. I had to hit off the plastic mats, but every ball I hit was a draw, even though the wind was blowing the other direction.
#BEN HOGAN APEX 2000 LICENSE#
I gave him my Driver's license for security and he gave me the 6 iron and a small bucket.
#BEN HOGAN APEX 2000 PRO#
The pro shop had a used set of Ben Hogan Apex irons for sale, and I asked if I could hit some balls with them them.
#BEN HOGAN APEX 2000 MOVIE#
If you've ever seen the Clint Eastwood movie "Every Which Way But Loose", that was the driving range I stopped at. When I lived in southern California, I happened to be in the San Fernando Valley one night when the wind was blowing about 30 mph, and gusting higher. Special 62 K Grind: I never have been good with the very high lofted wedges.and rarely even use the 56 degree wedge except when in a bunker or a really deep lie in the rough that has to be played like a bunker shot. Right now the clubs in the bag are the Big Ben driver, the 3-4-5-6 woods, the 4-Equalizer Directors and the Special 56 K Grind sand wedge and, of course, the putter.Īpex persimmon driver: love the club, but have learned to like the Big Benģ iron: the 6 wood is more versatile - at least in my hands.Ĥ9 degree Colonial wedge: The Equalizer is essentially a PW with the head shape of the other irons.and it's my preferred club for short shots, chipping and pitching, etc. I don't hit it as far as I once did, so I tend to carry more woods.and I've finally learned to like hitting a big modern driver. Being 65 years old typically walking the course and carrying my bag (a Hogan stand bag) I'll often leave out a couple of clubs to lighten the load a bit.

sometimes 14 clubs.sometimes as few as 11. I vary the set somewhat depending on the course, how I'm playing, etc. Every club in my bag is a Hogan:īig Ben C-S3 10.5 with Aldila NV-H 70R shaft (made in about 2007 as I recall)ġw and 3w: Apex persimmon (circa 1983) with Apex 3 shaftsĤw: Speed Slot persimmon with Apex 4 shaftĥw: Speed Slot persimmon with Apex 3 shaftĦw: Speed Slot 404 (laminated) with Apex 3 shaftģ-Equalizer: Director (circa 1980) Apex 3 shafts Nice to see that people still like Hogan clubs. There was also an edition of the Hogan Edge called "GS" which were done with collaboration of Ben Hogan and a respected associate of his, hence the initials "GS", I do not recall his name though. As the other poster alluded to, the older Hogans (Pre Edge) would probably be more for a low handicap or scratch player. As for Calloway, I do not know if they actually made any Hogan irons or not, but I am sure a google search would render results. Mostly for the looks and I think they would play very nearly to what I am accustomed to. I am also looking for a set of like new condition Hogan Apex Plus.

When hit on the "button" it is almost effortless and as they say a very soft feel. They are pretty forgiving, but if you do not hit them on or near the sweet spot, you will definitely feel a little sting. As you know, the "Edge" is a perimeter weighed cavity back, but it is forged. I do not know what year they were made, but I got them in the late 90's at a golf shop in a mall where they were on consignment. The first set was with stiff graphite shafts and looked brand new. As I mentioned previously, I have owned 2 sets of Hogans.
