Ben Hogan Iron sets

[sam004]

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.

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.

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!
