Played Hogan Radials eons ago.  I think they might have been Hogan's first foray into GI irons.  Had a wider, sort of rounded sole.  They hit pretty good as I recall.

The ultimate "old man" setup:

Ping G30 driver
Ping G Fairway woods - 5 and 7 woods
Callaway X-Hot #5 hybrid; Old school secret weapon
Ping G #6-9 irons; W and U wedges
Vokey 54 and 58* Wedges
Odyssey Versa Putter
Golf Balls

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

I had a set of Original Edges and played them for years. Loved them, a great shake better than the mass issue set of Dunlops or whatever I was playing. They were stolen and then replaced by another set of mass market clubs. They then were replaced by a set of Fort Worth Edition Edges my Dad found at an Estate sale for $50. I traded him my set and gave him $50 for them. Loved these as well. Still play them once in awhile. The Edges made me a better ball striker. While mishits weren't the stingers that normal blades gave, they wouldn't cover your faults by "correcting trajectory" due to a toe or heel hit. The Sweet spot wasn't HUGE, but bigger than the blades I learned on.

I've played various Hogans from the mid-60s, and I still love my 1999 Apex irons. Having replaced the old and tired Apex4 shafts some years ago, I still claim those clubs to be some of the finest ever produced.

I play the Hogan FTXs, which are a graduated set (the wedge, called an "E" for escape [Hogan's term, not mine] is a blade, and the irons get more forgiving/cavity-backed down to the 3i).

Great set...great feel...you need to hit 'em pretty pure for sure though.

E for Equalizer my friend.

    • The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.
    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
