Do you play Hogan Apex irons?

Talk about these clubs which are beautiful to look at and a joy to hit. Apex of any vintage, but pure Apex, please - Edge, Plus, FTX, etc. are different clubs.

I switch between my Muzino MP 11s and my Apex Edge...love them both. Have looked for a new set, but can't find anything I like better. I tale care of my clubs so they look almost new except for a little bag chatter.

Apex PCs and 95 Apex (channelbacks) - the short irons are a bit too big on the channelbacks and they have a hint of offset too - no wonder BH didn't want to release those.

I you haven't pured an Apex 2-iron, you haven't lived - just kidding - I really like them, but they're not magical or anything.

Found some Apex Edge irons back in January and scooped them up. Fabulous clubs I must say.

I play the original apex plus irons shafted with 5.5 Rifle Lites. Awesome feeling clubs.

My first and last set until 2005 were apex pc's replaced by the FTX's. I loved the PC's, still have them though many grooves are missing in the scoring irons. I had the 2 iron, probably hit that club twice, must have been under a low hanging branch. :)

A set of Mizuno mp68's on the way.

I play a Hogan Edge Forged GS 2-iron. It is one of my favorite clubs, I use it a lot off the tee when my driving confidence is down.

[bshack]

I use them and will forever use them until I get endorsed by someone of course :)

[Jay-Bird]

[bshack]

I always loved the Hogan and MacGregor irons. If I didnt have the ole Tourney's in the bag, I'm sure there would be a set of Apex's. I hope Callaway continues with the quality of the Hogan's.

Now that the thread is rolling, let me tell my story. I played golf through college, but after i graduated I was too busy with career and family to play more than a round every other year or so. Really! So when I was getting ready to retire I thought I'd get my golfing skills polished off again. The second lesson I had, the pro looked at my 1960 Wilson blades, and said, "You need new irons. These just won't do any more."

So I went to a golf shop where they have about everything that is made, and the guy helping me grabbed about seven different kinds of irons, and when I passed by the Apex's (this was in 2003), I thought, "This is the one I want." It came down to the Apex and the Ping i3+. Both felt great and I loved the ball flight, but compare the looks of the i3+s with the Apex and it's no contest.

I just love these things. When you hit a good shot you're rewarded both by the feel in your hands and by the high, penetrating flight of the ball. I want to be playing them when I'm 85. I clean them, heads and grips after very round.

I played college golf in the '70's with Apex irons (which are still in the garage)...Like you I got away from the game for the "kids years" but a guy in my league was getting rid of some Apex Edges and I took them 2 years ago for $100 and a few beers. Love them!! Just got them re-griped with GP Tour Velvets...sweet! I use a mizuno 3 iron but the rest 4i-PW are awesome.

Some people say the last real Hogans were forged in ~ 1989. Some say it was even earlier. What the #$% do they know, eh?

I went to a Nike demo day last year and the rep asked me what irons I played. I said Hogan Apex, and he gave me a 4-iron and said, "Try this." Honest, contact felt exactly like an Apex. When I gave back the club to him, he said, "I thought you'd like that one. The guy who designed it used to work for Hogan." Of course, I forgot what the model was, but at least we know that Hogans live.

Probably just means they closed the plant in the US and moved production to China. All this golf crap is made there.

Many purists argue the Apex line ended when they were no longer forged in the US. Would people buy Mizuno, Epon, or Miura irons forged in China? Actually, I can't prove they aren't?!?!
