Has anyone ever heard of or played with Hogan Radial irons? I was at the range today and an elderly gentleman who is there everyday pulled these irons out of his bag and asked me to try them out. Well let me tell you, for 30 years old (give or take a few years), these irons are incredible. They look just like a blade iron but are more geared towards game improvement.

I was killing these things. They're long, accurate, easy to hit and have a nice buttery feeling at impact. Just curious if anyone knows anything about Hogan Radial's. Cheers.

Yep.  Bought them in......maybe 1983ish.  Played them close to 10 years until Fred Couples convinced me that I just couldn't live without a set of Lynx Parallax.

Great iron with that really low muscle back and a lot of bounce.  Very solid and easy to hit.  May need to dig them out, I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't still up in the attic somewhere, probably right next to the Lynx. :-)

I bought a set of these a few years ago at a resale shop just to have clubs to hit around the yard. When I got into golf a bit more seriously, I bought a set of more modern GI clubs. But for the last year or so, I've been wanting to bust these out and play a round with them.

Because my game has been so awful lately, I decided that playing a few rounds where nothing mattered except having fun might do some good. This past weekend, I brought the radials out along with my putter, driver and woods, played from the back tees and without keeping score proceeded to play really well. The 3 iron was a mix of clean and off-center shots, but overall, they rest were really easy to hit. Even though I didn't keep score on paper, it would have been lower than normal.

The Hogan E wedge has always been the most versatile club I've ever played from 80 yards and in. It's to the point where I'm thinking of replacing my GI gap wedge with it.

Anyway, I just wanted to add that if someone like me can hit these clubs, they must have been pretty good in their day.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
