Traded my 990's for these. Tried the Plus, but my game is not there yet. Actually the more I play the Edge's, the more I see no reason to "move up". I can move the ball anywhere I want with all the feel I could ask for. Great clubs - expensive, but worth every cent.

I am a senior - 59 - and have been playing for only 3 years. In the beginning, I searched for the perfect iron for someone who hardly knew which end to hold. Found the Cleveland Quadpros, and loved them. At least until a month or so ago. Then I began to pull and could not seem to fix it - even though I knew it was me and not the irons. I always knew they were a bit upright for me so I had taken them into the shop to send to Cleveland for adjustment. THAT's when I saw the new Apex Edge irons. I remarked to the salesperson that those were beautiful, but obviously "players clubs". He informed me that they were actually very good "game improvement" clubs. Well I demoed them and it was so long Quadpros. Have gone through the adjustment period and all I can say is - I had no idea how sweet a well struck iron feels and sounds. I am actually longer with these than the QP's and very accurate. I had them adjusted 2* flat, and now my long irons have a beautiful draw. These are for real and everything about Hogan says quality - even the shipping box.

Wow. I always wanted a forged club, but I was not to the point where I could hit a blade. With the larger club face and forged feel of this club, I will never switch.
Used to hit the X-14's which I loved dearly, but they lacked the feedback that Hogan's provide. X-14's seemed to sail on me from time to time. The Hogans are consistent on every shot.
If you shoot in the 80's on up, I would highly suggest the Edge's. The heavier swing weight really promotes an effortless swing. A perfect shot provides a sense of euphoria that only a forged club can give.
Additionally, I seem to be getting more backspin on short irons.
Overall a perfect 10. Bye, bye Callaway, hello Hogan!

Very nice clubs. Doesn't sound as good as the Apex Plus at impact though. I'm getting like 15 yards extra compared with my Ping Eye 2's. However, I notice an interesting thing, I can swing the graphite shaft straight shots after shots but the steel I can't even pick the ball up. Strange!

The Hogan Apex Edge irons are truley a wonderful set of clubs. They look good and feel great! Now that Hogan manufacturing is back in Ft. Worth, TX - the quality of the Hogan clubs have seemed to have improved, too. I would not be suprised to see if these clubs do not become top sellers in the the next couple of years. Now, we all know that a good swing (and practice) is no substitute for improving your game - and time will tell if these Hogan Apex edge irons will improve my game, however, its the little subtle features of these clubs that has impressed me.
I demoed the Ping I3 O-size clubs recently. I even played them in a tournement. When you compare the quality of the "standard" grips on the Pings to the Hogans - there is no comparison. The grips on the Hogans are superior and after all - golf is all about feel anyway, is'nt it? :)
Don't pay a fortune for these clubs. Look around for bargins (like ebay). Needless to say, I reccomend and "like" these "sticks".

I only change equipment about every 10 years. There is so much good equipment out there, it is almost impossible to decide. You really can't make a decision unless you use clubs for awhile, but it is not really practical, so there is some risk involved. With the current state of design, any reputable brand will probably work just fine. It's the swing that counts.

After doing research mostly on-line and in magazines, my finalists were: Ping i3 OS, Hogan Apex Edge, Callaway X-14 Pro, and Mizuno Comp EZ. I have a mid to high handicap (20) and want to improve so that half of my rounds are in the 80's.

After extensively hitting the finalists at the range, it came down to the Hogan's and Callaway's. Although the regular Callaway X-14's would seem more suited than the Pro's for my skill level, they had a bit too much offset. I do not have a problem with slicing, so the Pro's were a better match for me.

It was almost a flip of the coin, but I went with the Hogan's. I have been very pleased with the forgiveness, high trajectory, great feel and ease of use. They suit my game very well.

The top edge is a little thick and it took me awhile to figure out they are 5~7 yards longer than my old Rams, but I have them dialed in now and love them. They are really satisfying to hit and look at as well. Like fine instruments.

I got a very good deal for the clubs on E-bay (brand new in the box), but they really are quite expensive. The clubs themselves rate a "five", but I have to assign a "four" in the price-dependent value rating.

These irons combine the best of both worlds for us middle handicappers. Center hits have that forged feel with expected ball flight given the low kick point of the #3 steel shafts. Off center hits go straight (although some distance lost)but without the punishment of typical forged irons. These clubs are much more workable than my previous TM supersteel irons. These are easily the best game improvement irons I have everplayed with. The only drawback is the rather thick top-line which makes the club look rather brutish and is distracting at set-up. As far as price, I paid 465.00 for a brand new set on ebay. My local shops are asking 750.00. If you look around you can purchase these irons at a reasonable price. For the price I paid, you can't beat the playability nor the value for a quality set of clubs.

Always liked the idea of having a set of Hogans - quality, feel, being of an age that thinks of Ben Hogan as a legend. Don't play much at the moment owing to a young family, but I was looking to replace my irons and tried these at the range. Look great, feel great and impressive distance. Bought them and had first round of the year yesterday - broke 90 including three dodgy bounces into ditches where I was laying up but found myself 10-15 yards too long. Great feel, ball sat down quickly on the green, good distance even in strong winds and very accurate. Felt great. Can't recommend them highly enough, but not cheap ( although £599 for 9 irons in UK is the same as Callaway/Ping/Taylor Made )

broke 80 the first time taken to the course. the long irons are easier to hit and very forgiving with offcentre hit.

I made a mistake on model name.
That's not Titleist oversize plus (my old club). I shoot 84 today.
My iron games are incredible.
