I purchased these clubs in 2003 and the following Saturday won my Club's Captain's Charity Day (a bit of bad form really since I was the Captain at the time). I bought these clubs on the recommendation of a low handicap fellow club member. They are very easy to use and for a game improvement club did not look too bulky at address. The titamium face did not give an appreciable increase in distance over my previous set which were Wilson Fat Shaft Deep Reds. They certainly get the ball airborne very easily and shots out of the middle have a nice ringing sound similar to the original Callaway Big Berthas. Indee, these irons have a similar undercut channel. What did surprise me was that although the ball flies off the face with a certain amount of vigour they were not bad to chip with, although not a patch on a good forged iron for feel and feedback. Ball workability is not good. Also if you play in predominantly windy conditions (like my course) the high ball flight can be somewhat limiting. That said maybe the number 3 shafts are a little soft for me. Finally bad shots (unless they are real stinkers) don't actually feel that bad. I would suggest that these clubs are for the beginner who has decided to invest time and money in the game and wants forgiveness. They will also suit the more accomplished player but the better you get the more limiting you will feel these clubs are. As with all Hogan products they are superbly made and durable. They represent excellent value for money considering that prices have dropped significantly over the last two years. Cast your mind back to how much the first titanium Callaway irons cost.

Callaway Big Bertha (mark one) Wislon Deep Red Fat Shaft

Bought these on ebay, just because i thought they looked nice. It was a gamble, but i must say the gamblepayed off. I love hitting these irons, the control and feel are grgeat. The long irons (3,4) are really easy to hit. Go and try them!!!!

Are these irons the best money can buy? In my opinion, no they aren't. Clubs like the Callaway Big Bertha or the Ping G2 offer far more in terms of corrective input on mis-hits and general forgiveness, and sets like the MP 32, MX 23, or even the X-18 offer more in terms of "workability." However, these clubs ARE reasonably forgiving and they CAN be worked - a bit, anyway. The target consumer for these irons probably doesn't need to work the ball anyway. Shots generally tend to have a medium high trajectory and be straight as an arrow. Although the club heads themselves are cast, the faces are forged and they do provide a nice feel when struck properly - perhaps a tad crisper than a BB or G2. The bottom line is that these clubs do fill a niche - not quite as "shovel like" as the BB or G2, and definitely more forgiving than a "player's" club, they are not a bad choice for the "advanced beginner/intermediate" golfer who wants a little bit more feel and is looking to START honing their swing mechanics. They will mask some of your swing problems, but they won't let you get away with murder like a BB or G2 sometimes will. To top it off, quality sets can be had for a very reasonable price (eBay/3Balls.com, etc). You could do much worse than a set of these.

Several.

i was playing copper eye 2s for 6 years than i hit these, now i think the pings are garbage. im serious these play way better and have a higher launch and better control. they are in my opionion the best irons money can buy. i tested mizuno,callaway,cobra, other hogans, ping g2, um titiliest, um lemme see snake eyes custom made-which are decent btw. but nothing performs like the hogan CFT imo. play what u want; try them all out like me, hogan cft will not dissapoint u. payed 250.00 for them brand new, from a friend of a friend, very nice price. i see them listed retail at 600 tho, so maybe u can find a deal like i did, good luck, thanks ben

read above, ive tried literally everything

I have been using Cobra CXI's for the past three years, and was looking to change them up. I tried the Wilson Fat's, the Cleveland TA6 (really liked them, and love their wedges), and a few others. Tried the CFT's for the hell of it (mostly because I liked the looks). I hit the 7 iron over 190 and straight on the simulator...feel was excellent, and the club was really sharp looking at address. To sweeten the deal, the set with hybrid 3 & 4 is the same price as the others...now just have to find them on ebay for half the price and away I go.

Don't know...never used it, but I'm sure no company would use that name and not strive to offer the best they could.

Nothing to date.

I've had this set for about 5 months now. I find the long irons easier to hit than my past irons. The mid irons are very nice. However, I've lost quite a bit of distance on the short irons. I've never had a problem getting the ball in the air, so I find the short irons tend to ballon on me. All the clubs are nicely balanced. I find the muscle-cavity back on the three iron very disconcerting on address. It just looks too big. I'm still getting used to it. I've improved my score, but I'm only going to give these clubs two seasons more at most before I move on to something else.

Customer Service

Like others, I got these from 3balls.com. Very good service, shipping was quick, and they were packaged very well. I got a used set, "mint" by their rating, for $250. I found only 1 minor mark on the toe of the 4 iron. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known them from new.

Great clubs,very accurate.The 3 and 4 iron are fair easy to hit unlike many other iron sets.You can buy them NEW off ebay for about 60% of what golf shops are selling them for.Also everyone I play with allways comments on how nice they look.

Adams Idea Irons

I purchased the set with the 3-4 hybrids instead of the 3-4 irons, although I can hit long irons well. I regularly shoot 90-93, occasionally dipping into the 80s. I bought the entire set with the stock graphite shaft #3. The set I used prior to that was a set of forged blades with Dynamic Gold s300 steel shafts. These were accurate, very accurate! But unfortunately were causing some tendonitis in the wrists and shoulder. So I opted for the graphite shafts! I'm happy for now that I did. I'm giving these irons a 5 for now, for one reason. They are without a doubt the most forgiving irons I have ever played. The forged titanium insert stretches almost the entire length of the face. A toe hit will still travel pretty far. My length has increased, but that's due to the shaft. Nearly every shot is dead straight too. These irons, in my opinion, are much more forgiving that the Callaway BB 2002s that I used to play, prior to my forged set. The trajectory of the CFTs is quite high; fun to watch! I have demoed many iron sets, these are fun to hit and look great. For me they were easier to hit in a test comparision against some Taylor Made OS irons. I think the CFTs are easier to square. The CFT hybrid clubs are also easy to hit because the shafts are not as long as a typical hybrid shaft. I will post another review for these later. I want to be fair and that's the way to do it, but for now they get a five.

Callaway BB 2002s, Pinseeker Forged Blades

My experience has been a bit different than other views expressed here. First let me say that I'm a 20ish handicapper that was playing a set of 20+ year old Walter Hagen blades. Boy, the golf club market has sure changed in 20 years. I tried Callaway's X-16 Pro's and Ping's G2's. Couldn't get used to the look; the clunkiness of them, the rounded front edge or the heavy bounce. I'm used to hitting down on the ball and taking a divot and those clubs won't even let you. Also, I'm a traditionalist and wanted something forged and more blade-like. In doing some reading, I thought possibly TaylorMade's combo set (CB for low irons and MB for short). Couldn't find them anywhere, but saw the handsome looking CFT's (steel shaft) in the pro shop and tried them on a lark. I absolutely love them. THE PLUSES: For me, the balance and weight are perfect. They have great feel at the point of impact. I find myself nearly one club longer and I'm definitely straighter. I disagree that you can't work the ball with these clubs. I can fade and draw pretty easily. THE MINUSES: These irons eat balls like crazy and that will get expensive if you like playing high end balls. There are other reviews of this set suggesting that trajectory is high. For me, yes and no. Long to mid irons are as high as they should be, but my short irons don't hit any higher than my mid irons. This may have to do with my address and swing; not sure. Also, the PW (aka "E") is so hot, it's difficult to use around the green. Hopefully, it's just a matter of practice and touch, but for now I'm having to count on other wedges for that job. Overall, I love this set and after only a couple of rounds already see a drop in my scoring. And at $500, the price was right. I strongly recommend them.

Tried Callaway X-16 pro, asst. Titlist and Nike

Tried a number of clubs before deciding on these. I liked them as they seem to hit straight (priority 1) whilst not losing distance (priority 2). I have to admit it took a few weeks to dial myself into these clubs but once we gelled things are now taking off. Played the front 9 of my club last night at 1 over par (16 handicap). You get tremendous confidence from the short irons and there is a lovely feel off the face from a well-struck shot. I can't really say they hit any further than my old Aliens but they are certainly more forgiving and give better feed-back. I can't say they are the most attractive clubs I have ever played but who cares as long as they work? I will go for function over form any day. Looks like Hogan has produced another gem.

KW Golf in Warrington, UK are a top place for buying clubs. You always get a good deal and excellent service. Not had to use Hogan yet but sent off registration card and get regular correspondence from the company which is a nice touch.
