So, in a fit of rage I slammed my [Callaway XForged] 5 iron into the ground on the tee Tuesday and bent the shaft. Wednesday I had a tournament so I needed something to fill the gap. No big deal, I have a ton of sets to choose from , but only a few real contenders as most are old Hogans. So, I pulled out a Mizuno MP30 , a 2008 Hogan Apex Blade and a Hogan Channelback . The MP30 felt a little weird, not the weight I am used to with the XForged. Although rather similar in look. The Apex had a lame Rifle shaft in it.

So, I went with the Channelback, even though its 2*flat, and I need 1*upright. I only needed it two times in the tournament, I also played with it today and hit it twice for 9 holes. Man this thing feels good! Much better then I remember hitting them when I first got them for my collection. I'm gonna have to get myself one more set!

The short irons are very similar to today's size. The longer irons are woefully small and frightening.

I have the Hogan 1963 IPT  -  I think yours are 1994-97

If you were willing to pay for shipping I could send you a decent set (2-E) - the 2-iron had been reshafted and it broke mid-swing at the hosel. Head is okay though.

I love the look of them, but the grind is wrong for me. Plus the 8-E are bigger than they should be with too much offset. Great irons - just not for me.

Hey, that's a set I don't have in my collection yet... Or maybe I do?? I'll have to check my Hogan closet. but yeah, the Channelbacks are definitely from the 90s

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
