Hogan Channelbacks

[Ben]

So, in a fit of rage I slammed my [Callaway XForged] 5 iron into the ground on the tee Tuesday and bent the shaft. Wednesday I had a tournament so I needed something to fill the gap. No big deal, I have a ton of sets to choose from , but only a few real contenders as most are old Hogans. So, I pulled out a Mizuno MP30 , a 2008 Hogan Apex Blade and a Hogan Channelback . The MP30 felt a little weird, not the weight I am used to with the XForged. Although rather similar in look. The Apex had a lame Rifle shaft in it.

So, I went with the Channelback, even though its 2*flat, and I need 1*upright. I only needed it two times in the tournament, I also played with it today and hit it twice for 9 holes. Man this thing feels good! Much better then I remember hitting them when I first got them for my collection. I'm gonna have to get myself one more set!

The short irons are very similar to today's size. The longer irons are woefully small and frightening.

I have the Hogan 1963 IPT  -  I think yours are 1994-97

If you were willing to pay for shipping I could send you a decent set (2-E) - the 2-iron had been reshafted and it broke mid-swing at the hosel. Head is okay though.

I love the look of them, but the grind is wrong for me. Plus the 8-E are bigger than they should be with too much offset. Great irons - just not for me.

Hey, that's a set I don't have in my collection yet... Or maybe I do?? I'll have to check my Hogan closet. but yeah, the Channelbacks are definitely from the 90s

I recently scored a set of Ben Hogan Edge GCDs on Ebay for $30.  Theyre not blades but theyre still Hogans.
