These irons are not for the once-or-twice-per-month-golfer who doesn't like to practice. One thing I don't like about these irons is just cosmetically: The red paint of the clubs number crakcs quite quick and falls of. The short irons fly high and really bite into the greens, in fact it what the first time that I saw one of my balls rolling backwards on the green. Even with my quite slow swing speed I get approx. On the other hand you get an unbelievable feel when you hit the ball correctly. The steel shafts don't dampen a lof of vibration so these hits go straight into the arm. I recommend you stay away from these driving range boxes with these green, grasslike floor (sorry, don't know the correct English expression for it), especially if you tend to hit the ball fat - touching the ground behind the ball. cutting the ball with the lower edge) can causes real pain in your hands/wrist/arm. learn to swing correctly or forget it: Mis-hits (e.g. But they are "player improvement" irons - i.e. Mis-hits will result in a minor or major loss of distance, and they are definitely not classic "game improvement" irons. The feel is great - you quickly learn where you've hit the ball just by the feel of the impact. The wear is typical for a club of it/s model age that has been well taken care of. They feel very balance, even the iron 3 seems "playable" to me. This wedge has been played in an appropriate fashion. You take the club and it just "fits" in your hands. The v-shaped shaft/grip is great for setting the hands. Now owning it for about a month and having having played it for a couple of times I can say following about this set: I talked the shop manager down to Euro 400 - approx 380 US-Dollars - and took the set home. I took a seperate iron 5 for testing on the range, hit about three dozen balls and I was sold.
#BEN HOGAN APEX EDGE FREQUENCY MATCHED 3 FORGED EQUALIZER PRO#
All of them great clubs, but quite expensive over here (All you American golfers should be aware that you're quite lucky, for the prices for clubs in the US are about 30 - 50 % lower than here in Central Europe!).ĭue to lucky circumstances I learned that a a local pro shop they had a last set of Apex Plus at a discount price for Euro 500, for they had been played on the range once (approx. I had narrowed it down to Mizuno MP-30, the Cleveland TA-3 and the Apex Edge Pro. I tested a lot of clubs over some months and the bottom line was that first of all I wanted a solid head and not a channeled construction like the Mizuno MX-20 or the Hogan Apex Edge). 70 - 75 mph with I 7 I fould it hard to control my previous irons (Mizuno T-3 Ti-insert with Accel-Arc reg-flex shafts) and my pro told me to go for steel. I'm going to get another set, maybe in graphite this time.With a swing speed of approx. Sold them to another tall friend who wanted something that he could use right away.
I reshafted a set of Hogan Apex Plus's to Rifle 6.5's at 1 inch over length and found them to be real decent. There is also a #5 shaft and that is an extra stiff flex and can be set to D9-E0 swing weight. The more swing weight in the head the more feel it provides. THe #3 shaft is softer and has an overall lower swing weight (D1-D2) then the #4 shaft (D3-D4). IF a golfer does not generate the appropriate amount of club head speed the #4 will feel too stiff. The tendency of most Hogan designs are intended for players who practice enough to have at least a "B" game and have potential to get closer to an "A" game. It may even propel the ball to go a little farther but that may be just the effects of hitting the ball higher. I've played both and find the Hogan #4 gets the ball up a little higher then a DGS-300. It is lighter then a Dynamic Gold which is also a High Bend Point shaft and will feel stiffer to those who may not generate enough club head speed to get the shaft to kick properly. The Hogan #4 shaft is a lightweight steel, mid flex. But Ben Hogan wanted the average player to at least feel the Head during the swing.!!! Doesn't meen Apex are good for your needs. SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SHAFT WEIGHT AND THE HEAD WEIGHT WON'T BE AS MUCH. So changing the STOCK shaft of Hogan, basically reduces the Feel of the Head because you will be changing for a heavier shaft. Basically, the Apex no.4 are considered STIFF for Hogan, but in reality they are between a Regular R300 and Stiff S300 when compared to Dynamic Gold. SO JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, the Apex shaft are considered a light shaft, so they can help you feel the weight of the head. Come on!!! Did you try them? Or your "knowledge" just comes from your BIG GORILLA FRIEND that's hits them a mile.Īnyway, just give your opinion, and please don't underestimate people's opinion and knowledge in this Forum. Sorry 24 Putts (Is that for your 1st or 2nd nine.) )įirst of all, i respect Dork's opinion in many subjects of Golf.
