Its just like Pool, $2000 cue or a $2.00 broomstick, it doesn't matter if you can consistantly make the shot with it. Make Offer - Vintage Ben Hogan Edge Medallion Irons 5-9 and E Wedge Made in USA. You can't buy a club,old or new, that compensates for a lack of skill on the dance floor. TIP: All golf tournaments are won on the putting green. And, If you learn to hit and be competative with real blades, Tiger Woods may fear you if you switched to new tech cavity backs,and hybrids after mastering old blades. If you're a purist,and want a challenge, give them a try. I wish I could still hit them well, but I can't. I can't play them any more because they hurt me. I've played these clubs for over 30 years. Not only will they make you feel like a beginner, they will, over time, damage your wrist. If you grew up playing with new tech golf equipment, don't even try them. If you are anything less than perfect in your swing, do not make the mistake of thinking these clubs will improve your game. Real vintage blade clubs are hard to hit because the sweet spot is very small. Not anywhere close to what Tiger Woods and Nike call blades now. Wow, the lofts and shaft lengths meant I had to hit 2 clubs up, but they were really sweet! I have a set of MacGregor Byron Nelson's I am going to take out soon as well. By the way, I went out and played with another set I picked up on ebay as well, a 1949 set of MacGregor Ben Hogan 1622's (2-9). I have worked my way down from about a 20 to a 13, 10 is in sight again thanks to these irons. They provided me the feedback on the range that helped me get back in the groove and a hint of perimeter weighting to help on the mis-hits. I tried the Grinds and I had just too much difficulty being consistent. I sold them on ebay and picked up a set of Grinds and a set of Apex II's (on ebay as well), really clean for about $120 apiece. I could never hit those blasted Callaways, try as I might I had no idea where the ball was going to end up, I had no feel, especially at 120 yard and in. In 2012 I bought a set of Callaway cavity back irons and and started playing about once a week. I played Hogan Grinds back in the 80's when I was a 10 handicap, but due to work, kids, you name it, I pretty much gave up golf in the mid 1990's. My set is still very beautiful and I do not plan to sell them for a mere coupla hundred bucks, or whatever, but I don't use them for play anymore and haven't had them out, except for a couple of range sessions, for many years.

The swing needs to be finely tuned for full enjoyment, however.

The smallish blade size is not a factor, as better ball-strikers (10 and below handicaps) should be able to deal with it. There's only two or three golfers, ever, who owned their swing as much as did Ben Hogan, so keep that in mind if you find yourself miffed and aggravated about ball-strike inconsistencies.Īs you look down on these, at address, they have a nice thin top line with almost zero offset (the way I prefer). Ben Hogan designed these for himself, with himself in mind. If you don't play and or practice several times per week, heed the aforementioned advice and find a less demanding club to hit. The soft steel on these smallish blades requires a loft/lie check slash adjustment every 60-90 days if you play and or practice several times a week. Any condition above that, as impossible as they are to find, is a steal below $300. But when you connect they feel like the best clubs ever made.Ī set in decent to above average condition will cost you 125-150. If your swing is not dialed, don't even bother. The sweet spot is literally the size of a pencil eraser, looking down at the pencil from above. Late 70's early 80's, Apex 4 shafts 2-Equilizer. Over the years, Neil has tested a vast array of products in each category and at drastically different price-points.They are about the coolest looking blade I've ever hit.
