Like many other reviewers here, I feel that this are the best clubs I have ever owned. I switched to these from i3 blades, and these are simply better. They look and act enough like blades to appeal to the mid to low capper, but they have enough forgiveness to be very playable. They're forged, and that makes them beautiful, responsive, and a pleasure to hit, when you hit pure to good shots. I will never switch again, and am looking for another back up set on ebay. These clubs are superb

I have had these irons for about a year now and am extremely happy with them. These clubs feel awesome at impact, as they have that soft feel that only a forged iron seems to have. Great looking club as well, as they are not too large a head. I have found these clubs to be pretty forgiving, as it takes a pretty bad shot to really find a lot of distance or accuracy loss. One thing to keep in mind is that you will need to buy iron covers, as the irons can dint very easily. I really like these clubs and could not be happier with them

Have never had a problem with the irons, although it is getting harder to find stockists of Hogan stuff in Australia

I purchased these from Edwin Watts for $399 at closeout. I have always liked many of the Ben Hogan irons. These are no exception. Beautiful appearance and great feel. I have played blades my entire life until this purchase. I will still play my blades but wanted a new set to try something different. These irons do provide some forgiveness on off- center and most shots regardless of where I hit them were at least acceptable. The Apex 4 shaft feels great and I prefer them to the TT Dynamic Gold S300. One thing I prefer with the blades is the feel when you hit the sweet spot. That feeling cannot be duplicated without a blade. However, these are great irons and can be found for a nice price since the introduction of the Apex FTX.

The Apex Edge Pros are great looking clubs and feel good in your hands. My problem with these clubs is that I am a high enough handicapper that I mis-hit the ball several times a round. The Hogans are not very forgiving clubs. They feel wonderful if you hit the ball in the sweet spot but anything on the heel or toe feels like you hit the ball with an anvil. I am convinced that a lower handicapper with a more consistent swing will LOVE these irons.

Well, my search is over, at least until I decide to try Hogan's FTX line. You've read or will read about all the fan fare about these clubs, but let me tell you a story that might sum it all up. My friend, who is about a 15 handicapp, wanted to trade his Hogans for my Ping Zing II's for a round, just to see what happens. Neither of us was really happy with the performance of the clubs we had. His main complaint, not enought forgiveness. Mine, no feedback, not enough distance control, too offset. By the forth hole we shook hands and traded for good. Bottom line, if you are a consistently good ball striker, you will absolutely love these clubs, if you're not, and don't care about feedback, probably not the clubs for you. I love the level of feedback on these clubs. You're not completely penalized for a miss hit (A bit shorter), unlike blades, but you get enough information back to make the proper adjustments. Distance between a pured shot and a good shot is almost unnoticable. Just simply a great line of clubs for the money.

Yes, I know, these are the wrong clubs for me. But they look really great, and are quite inspirational. They do feel different to the Apex blades - still solid but a little more straight-hitting. The long irons pick up the ball quite easily (just swing them as if they were 7 irons - don't try to 'brain' the ball). I suppose they've now been replaced with the mre specialised Apex FTX, which have similar long irons but more blade-like short irons. However, if you need forgiveness on your short irons too, stick with the Pros.

Mizuno MX20 (lighter heads than the Pros, but very similar feel)

Purchased clubs new on Ebay for $399 03/2004. Immediately replaced factory grips with Winn Diamond Dry Tour Series. Absolutely beautiful finish and profile, just like all forged Hogans. While not a true game improvement club, the feel of these clubs is amazing. Thinner top line and smaller head is preferable to some of the heavier looking and feeling clubs like Big Berthas. Distance is above average. Without question, the most balanced and accurate iron I've ever played. Thank you Ben Hogan Golf. It's a shame that the company couldn't survive on it's own and was purchased by Callaway. It appears that these irons were discontinued for 2005, and replaced with a cast, full cavity back model. If you can find a set of Apex Edge Pro's, get 'em while you still can. You won't regret it.

These are without a doubt the best irons I have ever hit. The ball explodes off the club face. They are also a beauty to look at. hogan really knew what they were doing when they dreamed this one up. I strongley suggest them for the mid to low handicapper.

AWESOME! Great set of clubs for the scratch to 13 handicap golfer. I am a 10 handicapper and have been playing cavity backs since I started playing in 1996. I have played Callaway knock-offs, Ping ISI-K, Callaway X-14, and Callaway Hawkeyes. None of these even come close to these clubs. (Maybe it is a mental thing) with the thinner top line and the smaller head on these clubs I felt that I needed to take my time and not just swing away with those other "forgiving" clubs. I went out to the local muni today, without taking these to the range first, and ended up shooting a 79. These clubs added an extra club length for me, which made things easier. And baby do these things stop on a dime on the green? Hell yes they do. Even the six iron I sent to a 169 yard par three, made contact on the green like I hit the sandwedge from 80 yards out. Approach shots from 120 yards in would also spin. The best thing about these clubs is that you don't have to kill a eight iron from 150 out, just let the club do all the work. BEST SET OF CLUBS I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. Keep your eye out on ebay for these, but do not buy them used (put your own marks on them. I purchased my set on ebay, brand new, for $358.00 and sold the hawkeyes three days later for $355.00.

Earlier this summer I decided I wanted to play more golf and get more serious about the game since I have quit playing softball. I had been playing with oversized Armour 855's which were nice clubs but I wanted to get irons that weren't so chunky,had a thinner topline and didn't have so much offset. So the quest began for new irons. I tried all kinds of clubs that fit into the category I was looking for..some cavity back for forgiveness without the big chunky game improvement clubs. I tried Mizunos (MP-30 and MX-23..very good),Cleveland TA-7 (very nice),Snake eyes 600c (owned), Taylor Made RAC LT (owned and I liked very well I just had too stiff a shaft it it so I exchanged for Hogans), Macgregor 1025cm,and finally ended up with the Hogan Apex Edge Pro. I believe my search has ended. They have incredible looks and feel. I find them to be fairly forgiving and if you're a decent ball striker you will just love the sweet feel you get with these (they are made from the same forged 1025 carbon steel as the Mizunos and I feel Mizuno and Hogan are the two finest irons in the game). I've been practicing with these irons and I really like the distance consistency of these irons compared to what I had before (Armours). I hit 8 balls with an 8 iron at my parents house(5 acres) and all 8 balls were within 5 yards of each other. I only wish I had found them earlier in the year since here in Ohio there's only a couple more good months of golfing weather to use them! They're also a fantastic value.The price has come down on these since the new FTX's came out. I got mine from TGW.com for $600 (regularly $750) and I have seen them even cheaper on ebay. If you're looking for something in between blades and game improvement I wouldn't buy anything until you've at least tried these out!
