Well, as I mentioned a few posts earlier I would post back with comments regarding the
Hogan Edge Forged irons that I got off of ebay.
After I got them I cleaned them up (which included me cleaning and sharpening the grooves with a PGA approved sharpener).
They measured about 1/4 to 1/2 inch shorter than my Razr's, which is not an issue for me.
Easy to hit
- There is no doubt about it ... these irons are easy to hit and they feel great when you hit the sweet spot.
Compared to my Razr's I like the feel of these irons much better, my guess is because they are forged.
Control -
If you have a need to work the ball right to left or left to right you can do so very easily with these irons. They respond very well to the snap hook or to the high fade.
Distance
-
They do travel about a half club length shorter than my Razr's. However, I am still carrying my 7 iron 170 yds on a full swing.
Trajectory
- I am typically a high baller so I did not have a problem getting these irons into the air, however, I can say that they did not get near the height of my Razr's ... much lower trajectory. I am not sure how I feel about this at the moment, its to early to tell.
Sound
- Well, they sound like old-school irons. Barely a sound on the sweet spot and a
noticeable
'click' on the toe or heel.
Summary
- These are a great set of irons that I would not be afraid to bag on any given day. There are a tad shorter than modern era irons but they are long enough and have such a great feel to them.
I will be playing a foursome tomorrow and will be adding the 'E' wedge and the 9 iron to my bag ... maybe the 6 iron as well.
