Ben Hogan Apex Plus Irons

Pros: Good distance control, plenty of forgiveness, better than average feel. An excellent 5 iron.
Cons: A bit pricey, too fancy for some tastes, limited workability.

Not long ago, I got paired up with one loyal Hogan irons player, and now I know the reasons why this brand has so many loyal followers. I´d been trying to test these irons for quite some time, and I honestly believe the Apex Plus irons are among the best ...

Pros: The attention to quality and detail for which Hogan is known.
Cons: No criticisms of these gems.

Maybe you've heard the story about Ben Hogan asking his caddy for the yardage to the flagstick for his next shot. The caddy answered, " 157 or 158 yards. " Staring straight at the pin, Hogan growled, " Make up your mind." This demanding mindset...

Pros: They are Hogans, they are gorgeous, and they work
Cons: Expensive, strong lofted short irons.

My first REAL set of golf clubs was a set of Hogan Edge GS forged irons. I picked them up for a whopping $175 for a 1-SW (I still have them by the way). With these clubs I learned to play GOLF, and not simply hit the ball.

Well, Ben Hogan...

Pros: solid, well-made, good looking, feel feel feel
Cons: for low handicappers

I played Ben Hogan Apex PC blades as a teenager when my swing was grooving pretty well (and because I thought I needed to show off... "oh, he plays BLADES, he must be good!")

I really got a lot out of those blades and when I was striking the...

Pros: Alignment, radius sole, forgiveness, distance, accuracy
Cons: none

It has been approximately one-year since I purchased my Hogan Apex Plus irons. Most, if not all, reviews published for golf equipment are provided shortly after being purchased. New equipment tends to make a person concentrate a little harder (and...

Pros: Playability and Forgiveness, Hogan quality
Cons: Not for everyone.

For golfers with higher handicaps who would like to play irons that combine the performance of a forged blade with the forgiveness of a cavity back, step up to the tee, you irons are in.

The Ben Hogan Apex Plus irons combine the wonderful feel...

Pros: Well-struck balls are rewarded with better trajectory and control
Cons: Poorly struck balls go nowhere and often hurt your fingers!

The Apex Plus irons deliver everything and more than expected. The Apex Plus irons play much like the Edge irons of yesterday. Off-center hits are not treated kindly, but well-struck balls follow a consistent trajectory with an expected measure of...

Pros: Classic look, great feel
Cons: These clubs will punish you when your game is off.

I bought these clubs in 2001 when my game was still in its improvement phase. Several of my friends (and my golf coach) told me that they would dramatically improve my swing because they demand excellence. And right they were. Bottom line, I love ...

Pros: These clubs are very forgiving for a forged blade. The clubs are ewtremely soft when hit right. They have a smaller head which allows a player to get out of a tough lie.
Cons: As with any blade, forgiveness is an issue. Unlike other clubs mishits are punished severy, but not as bad as other blades.

Ben Hogan has really created a masterpiece with this club. Unlike most blades, the long irons are easy to hit and they produce a minisucly higher ball flight. Also, the short irons are easy to work and when hit correctly, can produce as much backspin as...

Pros: Everything
Cons: A Bit Pricey

I have tried the two different Apex iron sets out, and I feel that these Apex Plus are one the three best irons out on the market. Next to Mizuno's MP-14 and Taylor Made's Burner Tour Irons. And I also feel that the Apex Plus set is much better then...

Pros: Immediate feedback! These clubs talk to you and scream when you are on!
Cons: Pricey! Mis-hits kind of hurt your hands and the ball flies everywhere

These clubs are everything you've been waiting for and more! Many reviews claim you must be a low handicapper to play these clubs effectively. NOT! I was an 18 hcp and after purchasing these clubs, my game improved to about a 14. Why? Well, these clubs...

Pros: Great Feel! Great Look! Great Shotmaking!
Cons: Waited too long to buy them.

Don't believe the gurus who say "it's the swing, not the club." Go get the Hogan Apex Plus irons and you'll lower your score without a lesson. These clubs are just plain great! They feel and hit like no other irons, and I've tested most of the latest...

Pros: Outstanding feel and control, Beautiful design, High Quality Product
Cons: Not for hackers

I've had these irons in my bag for 4 years now and they still feel as great as when I first got them. Over this time I've tried hitting a bunch of new irons to come out (Titleist, Taylor Made, Callaway, Nicklaus, Nike, etc.) but none on them top these if ...

Pros: look nice, good playability
Cons: for better players

The truth about these irons are that they hit alot like the regular Hogan apex irons. they have an awesome look, pure crome nice sized head which leaves you knowing that you can shape the ball like crazy. The downside? They are forged, now that really...

Pros: Great Feel, Looks good, explosive distance
Cons: a little unforgiving

Hogan golf clubs have been famous for decades, so when the New models came out i wasn't surprised by their quality. The clubs are very pretty to look at, especially before you hit them. They feel fantastic, trust me forged is the only way to go. My...
