Wanted – Club Testers (2015 Ben Hogan Irons)

BY Tony Covey
May 4th 2015
Read all comments

In golf, there are names and then there are names.

Jason Dufner is a “name.” Brandt Snedeker is a “name.”

Jack, Arnie, Tiger…those are names.

And then there’s Hogan.

Now there’s a name.

The Hogan name is making a splash this spring with the return of the Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company after an 8 year hiatus. The new FT. Worth 15 irons and TK15 wedges made their debut at January’s PGA Show, and are among the most talked about equipment releases of 2015.

According to Hogan, precision is back.

The new Hogan is a bold (some say risky) move by Terry Koehler, who stepped away from the SCOR brand with the hope that the name Hogan still means something.

Do the new Hogan irons live up to the hype and, more importantly, the name?

Well, MyGolfSpy would like to give YOU the opportunity to find out.

Club Testers Wanted

The Ben Hogan Golf Equipment company will provide 6 MyGolfSpy readers with a complete Hogan arsenal: a full set of FT. Worth 15 Irons and TK 15 Wedges to review and tell us if the performance matches the hype, and if these weapons are worthy successors to the Hogan name.

You read that right – irons and wedges.

We also want to know how effective you think of Hogan’s online fitting process, called “HoganFit”. It’s touted as one of the most detailed online fitting systems around, and we want to know if it’s a viable way to get you into some custom clubs.

You want in? Here’s how:

Post the following in the Hogan Testing Thread:
1. Your HoganFit “prescription”
2. Your handicap
3. Most importantly, what the name “Hogan” means to you

We’ll be selecting 6 of you to receive a full set of FT. Worth 15 irons and TK 15 wedges to use and to share your thoughts as official MyGolfSpy Forum Member Reviewers.

To be selected, you must be located in the Continental US, and you must post to the Hogan Testing Thread in the MyGolfSpy Forum.

Is “Precision” really back? Do the new clubs lives up to the Hogan name?

As Hogan himself once said, the ultimate judge is the flight of the ball.

I have been playing apex ftx irons for 10 years. I have wore out my 3rd SW. Stumbled on this contest searching for for my 4th. I have a front and backyard golf course set up which helps me wear my SW out. I wish i could post pics. On behalf of my wife allowing me to have this, I hope I am a contender to test these out. You will not find a better person to assess these irons. Thanking you, Todd.

What the Hogan name means to me.
Ben Hogan represents the standard of excellence that all golfers aspire to become. All the greats had nicknames such as The Golden Bear, The King, The Black Night, Merry Mex, The Shark and Tiger (real name). They are all great in their own way but Hogan was what they all reached for both as a player and a man. Hogan represents excellence, discipline and determination.

The name Hogan signifies perfection to me. It is the model on which all modern golf swings are built. At once simple and beautiful while also incredibly technical and near impossible to master. To me, Ben Hogan is the god father of modern golf.

Most importantly, what the name “Hogan” means to you.
To me, Hogan means golf. It means a period in time in which golf made a shift in mindset, ability, equipment, teaching and course design. Mr Hogan changed the game, just as Nicklaus did for his generation and Tiger did for his.

I would love to test the new Ben Hogan Fort Worth 15 Irons!! I went online and did the hogan fit application and it was very easy and personalized. I like how it gave me the thought or explanation on the “why” . Very intuitive.

Hogan Apex Edge Pro’s took my college game to a new level in 2004. My dad worked at Trophy Club in the 1970’s and was always a big Hogan fan. It was very exciting for my family that my conference tournament was held at Trophy Club for three of my four years of collegiate golf. The Hogan name/brand holds a lot of nostalgia for me and I continue to play the same set of clubs. I’ve shopped around many times, but haven’t seen any iron that “looks” as sharp as what I already have. Choosing me for this test would put an end to about 8 years of teasing from my husband and our friends about my old beat up Hogans.

Index 8.6 Hogan is best emulated through the teachings of few. I’ve never had a live lesson but have found the best ‘explanation’ I’ve ever seen of what Hogan and all great balls strikers share is through the teaching of Bradley Hughes as he explains (and shows) how different golfers develop their own ‘feel’ in different ways and how to go about finding our own path. I’ve been on this path for only 7 weeks now, with increases of about 10 percent in distances (54 y.o., 5’9 and now about 250-265 off tee versus 230-235 previously) and a solid increase in accuracy as well..now I gotta recapture my short game (putting in particular), as it became quite neglected during the process. The only Hogan equipment I used previously was my beloved Hogan Tour Deep ball, still my all-time favorite.

As someone who has read Hogan’s swing book twice he means a lot to me. I read it for the first time one winter and immediately took large strides in ball striking the following year. i would love properly fitted clubs, but as a college student i have time, but no money. id love to test these out and would provide ample feedback. after reading hogan’s book i feel like my feedback would be valuable to all

However, if you would like my Handicap INDEX, it is 7.6. I would think pointing out this oversight to you should automatically qualify me for one of the testing slots! I’m here for you!

Hogan means everything to me with golf. When I learned the game at age 13, my instructor and I studied hogan’s swing and every single thing about it. I still carry a copy of the five fundamentals of golf that hogan wrote in my golf bag. I guess you could say the name hogan has shaped my golf game into what it is today. Golf is a better game because of Ben hogan.

The Hogan name to me is the epidemy of hard work and dediciation. Reading up on Mr. Hogan he consistently faught the snap hook developed from a strong grip early in his career to hit it longer. Hogan continued to work on the game “finding it in the dirt” through hard work and practice developing a draw swing plane with a weak grip to produce a fade which was where he then began to excelerate his consistency and domination.

Ben Hogan is the consummate example of how perfection can be achieved through hard work and repetition. His greatness is typically lost on my generation, but my particular identification with him is due to our parallels in life (ie growing up in Fort Worth and family devastation). Unfortunately for my sake, an impeccable golf swing is not one!

Thanks for the opportunity.

HOGAN: The name is synonymous with TEXAS GOLF. Perseverance is a word that comes to mind when I think of Hogan. He won 9 of 16 majors he competed in from 1946 – 1953. Sandwiched in between all of these major victories was a wreck that should have cost him his life. He modernized the golf swing, and his fundamentals are still widely used by many of the top 100 instructors today.

Hogan clubs to me, were always the “other club”. I have always been a mizuno player. I didn’t ever think any club could ever feel as good. So I never bothered playing them. One of my friends played some apex clubs with I hit on occasion, and I always thought they were ok.
Hogan the man however, is the guy whose swing I have always tried to emulate. The slight left knee bend on the backswing, hips shooting through, and a smooth lag swing for contact. So easy when it’s flowing. It’s an old school swing, and it’s pure.

The name Hogan represents precision and accuracy. As a kid growing up, it seemed that the best players at the club played Hogans. I remember watching these players hitting on the range and watching the beautiful flight of the ball and hearing the pure sound that it made as the ball left the club. Hogan clubs have always been considered a high end club in my eyes.

Hogan is arguably the most famous name in golf. I played with a set of Hogan ECD irons for years. I still have them in an older bag just can’t seem to part with them. I would love to have the opportunity to be a tester of these irons.

There is a certain standard associated with the Hogan name. That standard is excellence. Excellence in quality, precision, and attention to detail. Hogan did it the right way, not always the easy way but the right way. This is in line with this Ben Hogan line of golf clubs. The Ben Hogan golf company is doing it the right way. Custom club making and fitting for each person. A standard of excellence with no compromise.

With all this emphasis on fitting and finding the gaps in your game, it would be cool to see Hogan partner up with Game Golf or Arccos. Using one of those systems would truly give you a look at where you could use a half club, and how many shots you hit within the “scoring zone”

On my high school team, a friend of mine played hogans. He was a really good iron striker, and ended up playing college golf. I always tried to emulate his swing, and work to get as good as him. It may not be the most common answer, but Hogan clubs and the name “Ben Hogan” will always remind me of competitive golf.

I read Ben Hogan’s “Five Lessons” and, like many, my game has never been the same. Hogan will forever be someone who I look up to for many reasons. His work ethic was unworldly and his determination to battle back in the face of adversity will forever be ingrained in the minds of golfers. Being able to help review Hogan’s irons would be a wonderful experience because I would be giving back to someone who has given so much to the game.

The story goes that, early in his career, Mr. Hogan was complaining to his wife that he was missing too many putts. Valerie looked at him and said, “Why don’t you just hit it closer?” And hit it closer he did. Ben Hogan was simply the best ball striker, not on talent, but on will and tenacity–finding it in the dirt. That’s what the Hogan name means to me.

Hi Guys,

No lefties need apply.

I have the Scor Golf wedges and absolutely LOVE them!!! They have changed my thought process on club selection and I am starting to really dial in distances. It has improved my putting (because I’m getting closer to the hole with my approach shots). I was ready to order the irons site unseen but there are not available for lefties.

My name is sitting in a folder for when they announce their availability. No time frame was given.

ugh.

God Bless <

Let’s see. 1) blades, 2) 44 individual clubs, 3) left-handed. Yeah, not going to happen. Mizuno doesn’t sell a lefty version of its musclebacks for the same reason: fringe market, not economically viable. These would need to sell like hot cakes for it to make sense to even think about producing a left-handed version.

At 52 and a seven handicap, self taught, and up from a solid two a few years ago. Hogan is a brand that was all over the place when I started playing golf. Great to see it back and the clubs look so classy, really well thought out and from what I can see visually appealing. To me Hogan is all about tradition, quality and dig it out of the dirt baby.

Good luck to the winner. I already have a set of the new Hogans. After approximately a dozen rounds, I anticipate taking the set to my grave (along with my Edel putter). I sort of did a self fitting which may or may not have been the smartest thing to do. I opted for a 25,30,34,38,42,46,50,54 and 58. I was inspired to use a 5 degree progression at the top after reading Wishon’s thoughts regarding loft progression. All of my irons/wedges are shafted with Recoil 95s which gave me the opportunity work up from a D2 SW to D5. I already have the Recoils in a set of Apex so I new what I was getting. My “experiment” was in using the same shaft in my wedges as the rest of the set. I wish I had done so decades ago. I have been stunned by how smoothly everything flows from the top to the bottom. Feel free to create your own set. Start with the Fit On but do not feel obligated to stop there. Talk to your local fitters and absolutely give the staff at Hogan a call. I was greatly impressed with their obvious dedication to their product and how they went out of their way to make certain I was happy.

Precision means a lot to me because I am a worldwide golf trick shot entertainer. The Hogan name to me if the definition of precision. Ben was known for his incredibly precise ball striking. In my line of work, I have to be accurate and percise. I hit golf balls from places that would impress Mr. Hogan himself and make him smile. Things like hitting balls out of mid air, super high tees, off of body parts, through watermelons and even using a putter to hit drives, iron and wedge shots. I also do play the game professionally. I’m not on staff with any company and I’m always looking for the latest and greatest in club technology to shave strokes off of my game. I perform 100 exhibitions worldwide a year and have raised over $1million for charity through golf entertainment. I think I would be doing the Hogan name proud by using their equipment.

I’m a 1.6 handicap and have been excited by the news of the return of the Hogan brand. When I started golfing one of my first sets was Hogan. The concept is new and exciting. I’ve never cared about the number on the club, only what loft it presented. Hogan read my mind. Unfortunately, in Winnipeg, there is no where to retest these clubs. I’d love to be a part of your trial and give them a thorough review. If they outperform my Mizunos, I’d be more than happy to buy them!

My prescition was 24°, 28°, 32°, 36°, 40°, 44°, 48°, 52°, 56°, 60°

Excited to be part of the test group!

I’m a purist at heart where the essence of our American golf legacy stems from icons; Ben Hogan is at the front of the line.
