Hogan Apex Plus, what am I missing?

[duffer]

How are the Hogan Apex Plus iron sets cheaper new than they are used?

New: $399

Used: $569

Am I missing something here?

Not that I see! I don't really feel like the pricing on Callaway preowned is very competitive when compared with the likes of ebay or clearance merchandise at any major vendor.

I believe Callaway is ending production of the Ben Hogan line.

I have already found some good prices on anything with the Ben Hogan name on it.

I am also about to pull the trigger on a set of Ben Hogan blades. $310 shipped for a brand new set of blades.

So, I went ahead and purchased the Hogan Apex Plus set. I hit them at Golfsmith when I picked them up (have a range in the back) and then went to the range later in the day.

Overall, I'm more impressed with the irons than I thought I would be. Off-center hits aren't punished as badly as I had expected. I love the feel of sweet spot strikes.

In reality, these aren't any hard to hit than my MX-19s, and the feel is so much better. A bad swing is a bad swing. Anything that was off with these would have been off with anything else. I'm glad that I made the switch.
