I have been carrying some Hogan equipment in my bag for a few years now, however, my base iron set was a Callaway X14. In May, I kinda stole a set of these at a used equipment show in Dayton Ohio for $120. I know that as a "bad" or "average" golfer, I got no business playing clubs like these. When i first took them to the Range,I knew that I would never get another "game improvement" set of irons again. By playing these clubs (admittedly a bit easier than pure blades, but anyway) i have gotten to the level where i should hit pure shots every time. Since i know when and why i hit a bad shot, it makes me not want to hit a bad shot. By hitting these pure, it makes me want to practice and get better, dig the secret out of the dirt, and hit more good shots. In short, I have seen the fallicy of game improvement clubs, technology, and the like. Its gotten so bad that I've almost put my Razr Hawk Tour out to pasture for an old MacGregor Challenger persimmon driver.
The secret is in the dirt.

No need. However, Callaway, my modern favorite, killed them...

Let me start by saying I have played a hand full of sets over all my years playing and found that true golfers love the equipment they started with. The Hogan Apex Plus are simply some the best irons ever made. There are a handful of sets that you can go back to again and again that have the flight, feel and register of these. In todays market new clubs are available by a select few that capture this, by the way they all cost over 799.00 - 1999.00! Why when you can pick these up on ebay for 90.00-200.00! The feel is like a... "hot knife through butter when struck right." I have heard this said over and over to review this set. The weight and forged feel of these make sure you are rewarded with the proper flight and trajectory right off the sweet spot is what we all mean to say. A mid flight with a slight right to left bend and plenty of feel to will the ball in the direction you want it to go once learned. No other Fat headed bantering over sweet spot clubs can teach you to break below the 70's or shoot consistently in them. So if you are ready or ever want to know how to shape your shots with clubs that tell the truth, reward tempo and a proper impact position these are for you. The original quality of Hogan will be missed and I simply doubt that Callaway Golf after purchasing the name will ever resurrect anything close to how these were originally made and feel. I have changed the shafts to Project X how ever and love the feel so way to go Callaway on the project X shafts! In conclusion if you do not own a set like this you should simply to improve your game and feel what you are missing. Forged irons give feel and allow you to move to the next level of golf. If you are like many golfers, even the youngest pro's of today you started on forged irons and never looked back!

I have used these irons for about 8 years and the have served me well. They promote a great feel on all irons fom 3 - P and also a huge plus is the distances and workability they offer. They age well and look great in your hand and in the bag.

The best clubs for all handicaps. Low handicaps cant go wrong with these, you will almost never hit a bad strike.

I have been using the Apex Plus irons for the past 10 years. I was thinking about buying a new set of forged of irons. I tried a set of Mizuno MP-52's. The Mizuno look like the Apex Plus, and felt like them? I can't see any reason to drop another $ 800.00 to get almost the same set of clubs I have!
The Hogan Apex are a great club for good players. The price is right and if you are looking to play a great forged iron I would try to get my hands on a set.

Best club Ive ever played. Really good club, you cannot go wrong with this club.

I started playing these clubs about 4 months ago. Coming from the r7 graphite shafts to these s400 tru temper stiff was awesome. not only did my ballstriking improve but got distance. These clubs are great!

I recently bought the Apex Plus Hogan irons and they are by far the most forgiving muscle cavity iron that I have ever hit. I really enjoy playing with them and they are such a great price too! A combination like that cannot be passed up.

Bought myself a new set after trying several sets of blades all of simular quality at my local golf shop. Great feel and distance with a bit of forgivness. A great club for the shot maker.

When this club was new I tested several clubs in simulators. These and Cleveland's TA1's were a full club longer than anything else I was hitting. I was forty-something and this seemed like it would help keep me competetive. A last minute deal on 1year old Apex blades saved me $600. It was a happy relationship for several years. When I replaced them for a custom fit Wishon set, things went South. I lost more than a club in distance-the custom fit clubs felt like pipe. The heads were beautiful and felt great after I reshafted them, weaker lofts, I'm thinking, was still costing me 15 yards or so.I persisted with them for a few years before deciding enough is enough-now a fifty-something. I found the Apex Plus's on Ebay, in crazy good condition for an 8 year old used set. They'd been extended 1 inch and regripped, odd since they were almost unused. I put them back near standard specs and now I have my forty-something distance back and maybe even a half club better, based on results of my first round with them. My hybrid is asleep in my basement as the long irons are so easy to hit. Only downside is the "4" flex. I need my good swing to load the shaft and all of it, too. Plan to reshaft in the "3" which should only add a little distance, but add some shotmaking options

Customer Service

Excellent conversation regarding upcoming reshaft by phone. We'll see how it pans out.
