Don't you? I'm not aware of anything new now for years, at least since Callaway bought 'em. The player's clubs they produced with Ben's signature were just so sweet. Anyone know anything about Hogan equipment? Anything in the pipeline?

I have no idea what happened, but I completely agree with you that their player's clubs were awesome, and extremely cool and classic looking as well.

While we're at it, what about Tommy Armour clubs? Everybody has played the 845. One of the most popular irons ever. And now...nothin'. There is a website, but it's very limited.

The last new Ben Hogan irons set I saw looked like it arrived via the poopline. See what I did there?

If you liked vintage Ben Hogan equipment, find a brand that produces quality players equipment without bombarding us with advertisements, then support the hell out of them.

I think I saw rockbottomgolf had a limited supply of tommy armour 845 irons for sale, for a very good price too if they still have any. If i were looking for irons i might have bought them, a friend of mine has some tommy armours he's been playing forever and I guess he still likes them.

Mizuno?

As for Hogan, Callaway has completely done away with the irons. Apparently they didn't have the sales to support keeping the brand going, and now the website is just a history of Hogan and the brand.

I have 2 buddies who play 845's. I'm pretty sure the company still puts out clubs. Don't know if they're any good, but they do have a pretty website.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down.
