Almost giving away anything with the name on it.
Always wanted a set. Can anyone tell me what to look for
in the Ben Hogan line ?

Looking for game improvement iron, no blades, perimeter weighting.
I am looking at a couple of sets and I see edge CFT and Apex edge,
to name a few.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Apex 50th Anniversary Blades, entire set is blades.

Apex FTX Forged are a mixed set where scoring irons are blades and longer irons are cavity backs.

Apex Edge (Pro), entire set of cavity backs.

Edge CFT are a mixed set as well where the 3-4 comes as hybrids and the rest comes as cavity backs.

I picked up a brand new set of Apex Edge CFT irons with the 3 & 4 hybrid for around $185 on ebay auction back in November from rockbottomgolf. I'm pretty sure they still have them.

In my stand bag:
Driver: XR-03
Irons: Apex Edge CFT (5-E)
Hybrids: Apex Edge CFT (3-4)
Wedge: Sure Out LWPutter: BombshellShoes: University

I picked up a brand new set of the Apex Edges today. I love them. They were a steal, they're so beautiful and they're so easy to hit. I highly recommend them.

They are some great classy looking irons. What did you pay for them if you don't mind me asking.

$300 brand new. You may be able to find them cheaper, but I was planning on spending $800-900 for a new set; so I still feel like I got a huge steal :D

Yeah, that's a great price. Some great prices had for Ben Hogan clubs since they are being shut down. I've been on the look out for some super steals. Already have the Apex Edges and the Apex 50 blades.

I would suggest the Hogan Edge Plus ('06) model that are game improvement perimeter weighted irons as you are seeking.

The design is a 'pocket cavity' which not only provides ample perimeter weighting, but also magnifies feedback. Others that use pocket cavities are Mizuno MP52, Titleist AP2, Bridgestone J32.

Looking for game improvement iron...

You want the edge. I play the apex plus, which before they came out with the edge was traditionally thought by many to be the "easiest to hit forged club". You can still get a set of them new for around 300 dollars.

Made it over to Golf Galaxy which is advertising the Edge and the CFT sets.
The CFT set was 3-E w/o the Hybrids for $199. That would be a great starter set
w/ the hybrids for that price. The Edge set looks great and they are forged too.
That set is $299. I wonder what these were going for before the clearance prices ?
$700-800 ?

What a mark up on clubs ! I'm guessing there are being sold at or below cost to get rid of them.

Im pretty sure Callaway is ditching the Hogan line; so get them at a steal while you can!

      Just because it's a small league at a county course doesn't mean their couldn't be a small group of people who take on the role/responsibility of ensuring the rules are properly enforced and being the rules committee for your league   That's the whole point of GUR. It's a temporary thing. Also like I mentioned before, since you're playing on the same course it's highly likely this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened to a bunker on this course.   There's nothing that needs changed though. There is the rule for how the situation is supposed to be handled as well as an alternative for how it could have been handled differently via a committee. Just because your league chooses not to have a committee doesn't mean the rules of golf need changed for everyone.   Absurd logic. You and your opponent can't just agree on rules and make things up as you go. If it's just a 1v1 match for fun, sure do whatever you want. In an actual league with other competitors, no shot. Everyone needs to play by the same rules. How would you feel if someone else in the league took a casual drop on a different hole and their playing partner agreed with it but you didn't agree with it and you found out about it later?

      I suggest you actually read some of the Rules, either online or on the USGA (or R&A) phone app.  Here's the Definition of Committee: You have a small league, whoever is in charge of that league is the Committee.  This would be the same person (group) who might decide that you should play Lift Clean and Place (Modal Local Rule E-3), to institute the "leaf rule", (MLR F-14), or that you should move a ball out of aerification holes (MLR E-4).

      TST Explores the ShotScope H4 (Stats Tracking Device) and Pro LX Rangefinder

      By klineka ·

      Website. And yeah I was asking about the specifics within those sections under the performance tab. I guess the strokes gained by distance like you noted is probably a good place to start. This would indicate that my wedges need practice, which I figured as much so I'm not surprised by that   Some of the other ones specifically around the short game I struggle to make sense of what it actually means. Like I know this chart is measuring the percentage of the time that I get the ball within certain proximity ranges but I don't know from a quick glance at this where I need to improve.   But then again I guess these two would seem to indicate that it's chipping inside 25yds from the rough that has the most room for improvement? Does it seem like I'm interpreting that right?

      What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. The safeguard is that you have to check with your  opponent to make sure he agrees with the drop, why should you need a committee for that?
