Ben Hogan Apex Sand Iron
This is a mid-1980's vintage model (sunburst and Hogan signature on the blade with "SAND IRON" stamped on the sole) that I picked up on ebay for next to nothing. What a find! It's a 57 degree model with a moderate amount (10-12 degrees?) of bounce and a slightly 'oversize' head which definitely inspires confidence. Excellent results out of greenside bunkers and off the fairway from 75 yards and in. Also great for chipping to a tight pin. Just lay the face wide open and slide it right under the ball. The only limit to what you can do with this club is your imagination! I have generally found that the quality and playability of Hogan wedges made from the mid-80's through the end of the 1990's are of the highest order. There is nothing on the market today at any price that can compare. All the wedges I use are Hogans from this era. I recommend re-shafting some of the newer models (5610 and 5010) with Rifle Spinner shafts. They will absolutely amaze you! Customer Service Excellent. They definitely aim to please at Ft. Worth. Similar Products Used: Titleist, Cleveland, Ping and Tyalor Made. (no comparison whatsoever!) |

LOVE THESE WEDGES. BOUGHT THE 56* AND 60* WEDGES TO GO WITH THE SET OF IRONS I PURCHASED IN THE SPRING. PLENTY OF FEEL AND CONTROL AROUND THE GREEN. THEY HAVE GIVEN ME SO MUCH CONFIDENCE FROM 80 YARDS AND IN THAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE SWING. POINT AND SHOOT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Customer Service NO EXPERIENCE WITH CUSTOMER SVC.
