In other words, a pitching wedge has a loft that is similar to that of an. In the last 20 years, club manufacturers have strengthened the irons by decreasing loft and, thereby, creating more distance with each club. Overall I give this wedge an 8.5/10 - It doesn't get a 10/10 because of the lack of grip and bounce/grind options and also the fact that it is not going to look very good in a year or two. Golfers used to have one or two wedges in their golf bag - the pitching wedge, which is included in most sets of irons, and the sand wedge. I'll be replacing it tomorrow.Įxcellent! My other top wedge choice was a Callaway Mack Daddy that would have cost me almost exactly double of what I paid for this Hogan, even after shipping.
I use Winn Excel Wraps which are totally different but to each their own on that. It looks fantastic (love the "Hogan" logo) but I can't stand this type of grip. They do not give you any options for grips, you have to take the Lamkin they give you although you can get it over-sized or standard which is nice. Out of the sand it worked well also, although I haven't been in many traps yet. The feel is just fantastic (like butta) and I have an easy time judging distance. I am currently learning golf again left handed due to a bad back injury (it's easier on my back swinging left) however I am hitting some good shots and this club has been performing great. They were correct and I think that in a few months this club will look pretty beaten up. The folks at Hogan do include a warning that the type of steel they are using is very soft and will ding easily. In these two pictures below you can see there are some dings already on the club from moving in my bag. Guys, I love the look of this club! They did a great job on the design front and you can tell they care about what they do, it's not just talk. Unfortunately you can't get any different types of grinds at this point, and I did ask. You can also get it in a variety of lie and lofts to fit your swing. I got it in chrome but it is also available in black. There was no up-charge for that which was nice. I ordered it with the recoil shaft, reg flex to match the rest of my irons. It was very well packed and arrived in perfect condition. I live in Canada and received it in about 10 days. The downside of that of course is that I didn't try it before I bought it but I believe they have a good return policy.
2) I appreciate this companies approach in lowering the cost by being factory direct. I decided to purchase it for two main reasons: 1) I have always loved Hogan products and my Apex SW wasn't really doing it for me. I have had it now for two weeks and have played 4 rounds with it.

I have to disagree with Todays golfer review.I've had cleveland Ta3 forged irons for a few years, then i decided it was time for a change and found these. I would recommend these clubs to anyone of anyone ability especially considering the price for these clubs is now 1/2 that compared to the published price.ĥ out of 5 Ben Hogan Apex FTX 03 April 2008 Still flying high and true on off centre shots but the feel and responsiveness of these clubs is truly beautiful. While at the generic golf store I tried out 2 other clubs of differing quality and supposed player ability. I was previously playing Mizuno T-Zoid Oversized and these had been playing well for me but they were over 10 years old and needed replacing. I currently play off a 17 handicap but have been looking for new irons to take me to a new level. I bought these clubs 2 weeks ago and have enjoyed the experience of using them immensely.
