What is great about this Ben Hogan iron is that it is a combo set of four different construction from 4-5 iron to 9 and pitching wedge. Brilliant.
James, I Played the Ben Hogan blades when I was in High School and they are still to this day the best set of irons that I have ever played. You have got me wanting a set of these irons for sure.
Great review. The only disappointment is that the pitching wedge is designated with a "P" and not an "E"! For those that are too young to remember, Hogan called the pitching wedge the great equalizer and therefore earlier Hogan irons had an "E" on the pitching wedge.
Yes!!! I play 2021 Icons and it annoys me every single round.
I liked the Ben Hogan driver and rescue club. It was awesome being able to try them out for 2 weeks for like $20 usd. I wish they did that still so I could try the different shafts to find the one that suited me best
Actually the Gap thru Lob wedge are still called equalizer. I have the full set. Woods are also very good. Fairway woods are the cleanest out there
@stephenmulvaney4843 yeah I've got those in the bag too but a Hogan should never have a "P" on the bottom of it!
Simon Millington deserves major kudos for bringing back classic brands and seemingly doing it very well, and at great prices. Hogan, Ram, McGregor (U.S.).
Back in the day....my first set hogan apex❤❤❤❤
James great review, please game those for 2025. Your consistency and dispersion was ridiculous and you can hit any shot you want to. Never seen you more impressed and absolutely giddy of a set of irons like you did these. Plus they freaking look GORGEOUS throughout the set. Please keep the videos coming and God Bless you brother.
I remember caddying for guys that played Hogan’s back in the late 80’s/early 90’s. I’d actually try and always get on a bag that had irons like them because they were blades. And guys that used blades were usually decent golfers and I knew I wouldn’t be searching for out of bounds balls all day long.
i have had my hogans for over 20 years and have tried at least 4 to 5 other sets and always come back to my hogans
This makes me so happy. I’m a die hard Hogan player since the 1990s. My current irons and wedges are Hogans from this current DTC version of the brand, and they are as good as ever.
Truly! ...just annoying to see the P on the bottom of the Equalizer.
You can pick up a mint set of Hogans for under 100 squid, and they are the real deal. Saw some gorgeous Radials 2-PW 🥵
I love the fact that we have Hogan clubs back. I got the 99 apex blades that I love.
The Hogan's for me are the only DTC clubs that you mentioned that don't look cheap , I have hit them before and they look and feel as good as any of the the big brands out there today.
I have the PTX Pro/Icon combo set, with their UiHi 4-iron, great set of irons. They look amazing, as well. Glad Ben Hogan irons are back
Great review James, I commented a few days ago about Hogan coming out with new irons and was happy to see you got these on here but these actually came out about 3 months ago I think but Hogan just came out with 4 brand new sets of irons and they are just as beautiful I ended up ordering the new Hogan Fort Worth MB's and can't wait to get them they look absolutely amazing I have played Hogan clubs for about 30 years now and it's great to see them continuing to come out with absolutely phenomenal irons I hope you game those for 2025 I don't think you are going to be disappointed...
I gamed apex 2 irons back in the 80s, sorely tempted to get these. They look mint and with added sentimental reason, I may find it difficult to resist.
Simply Beautiful. It would be interesting to go to Golf Clubs for Cash and get an older set of Ben Hogan Irons and compare. Feel, loft aesthetics.
I played golf with a bloke years ago who gamed a set of Browning irons and they were 😍😍 full blades and they sounded incredible when he hit them . He was a good player talking like 2000
I've had these irons for 3yrs already and Love them. The wedges are awesome also
They’re absolutely gorgeous!!!! 👍👍
Been waiting for this for ages I live the hogan irons I got sent the 6 and 9 to try out and man I fell in love woth them instantly
always been a fan of ben hogans, great irons for feel, distance, working, and forgiveness
Had Hogan Edge irons for 20 years they were brilliant. Feel was fantastic.
I've been playing these for a couple of years now. Fantastic irons that get no love from the golf community for some reason. I've purchased every high end model from the main manufactures and I always end up coming back to these. They launch higher with the right amount of spin better than the others. Thanks for bringing these to light.
I had the 2003 ben hogan c.f.t's for the longest time, beautiful set
Loved my set of these! Still have them as my guest set and they still hit sweet.
I played Hogan Apex back in the day and got a set of these a few years ago (PTx Pro) in black w/ KBS shafts. Great clubs.
Hi James…videos are always entertaining but what’s absolutely gorgeous (haha) is your health transformation. Looks like you continue to slim down. Congrats. It’s not an easy thing to do (@ least without the help of meds).
Got two sets of Hogan Icons - stunning set of blades. Also got the wedges and fairway woods too. Highly recommend
I pretty sure Hogan went DTC well before the other brands you mentioned
I have been patiently waiting for you to try these irons. I just wish they made them in left handed
Bingo, nothing left handed
@@wills3982 I’m a lefty a got wedges they’re great 👍🏽
I’ve been using Ben Hogan PTx irons and Equalizer wedges for a few years. Great clubs.
This is without shadow of any doubt your best club review to date James. What a beautiful set of irons with SO much sentiment attached. My first ever set of irons were a half set of junior Hogans. I used them until I grew out of them.
This set though is stunning. The PW is very reminicent of the Mizuno TP18s...another of my favourite iron sets.
Golfers who can use these are very discerning and don't really care about distance and forgiveness. These are about consistency, control and accuracy.
My favourite release of 2025 so far. Thanks for the content James. Keep it up my good man!
These are my current gamers. I was playing Ping i210's and switched towards the end of the year. James, try and get the Uihi utility iron as well. Also, I messaged Ben Hogan and asked why they don't have any reviews on the new Ft Worth's and Legends irons. I would love to see your review. There's literally nothing on the internet, you'd be the first. Thanks, pal
James you should do testing at medium swing speeds, 80 to 90 mph.
In the last year I bought a set of mizuno MP-57 and a set MP- 68, built a dream combo set, both sets are in great condition (5-PW) $350 USD total shipped,
from a Japanese Ebay site, this the way for me going forward.
I bought a set of Hogan FW-817’s off of Amazon for a starter set when I started golfing last summer and have no complaints with them and bought a set of Ben Hogan 1+’s that I got a good deal on
They have blacked out ones too!! They look great! You should try the macgregors irons too!
They do look really good. Nice sleek lines and a classy look. Be interesting to see a few rounds using these
I have the PTxPro, the more forgiving version of the clubs. They are about four years old now and are still fantastic irons.
I seen the review of these irons on Let’s Play Through and thought they look fantastic. Been on the hunt for them, but they are rare down here. 🤘🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺
I'm a lifelong Ben Hogan player and love my 2021 Icons in black. Very sharp irons - except for the "P" on the bottom of the Equalizer.
They do look amazing. Kind of forgot about Hogan’s and you’ve really peaked my interest.
So it's like Ben Hogan made their own Combo kit? Brilliant.
Oh I played a set hogan Ft worth 15 blades and they were amazing and felt gorgeous! Not quite as good as the 2000 Apex’s but really close!
I have a set and they are great. I am a 9.2 index and can afford any set I want. I got them because of the Ben Hogan history, and fell in love. The only problem is my son is left handed and they don't make them left
I use the Equalizer II Wedges - feel fantastic!
I ready ordered the trial clubs of the PTx tour and the Icon. Can’t wait to try them and compare to my Callaway Ti Fusions. Completely different clubs but just want to compare the feel.
Had Hogan irons in the eighties and remember them having mixed reviews. I then found Mizuno and was converted
Just bought the Takomo clubs. My other set is the Ben Hogan Icon irons.
Hogan blades have always had class. 👍
Stunning looking irons and a great review on them
I saw a review where these were not accurate enough! They are classy looking. I have a set of Apex Edge! Always liked their clubs! Thanks
The Golf Brands company is really bringing back some great classic irons. They have MacGregor RAM and Hogan. Pricing is great you can get a couple sample irons before you buy them.
My first set about 50 years ago were Hogan. Not sure what model, but they felt excellent. I wasn’t good enough for them though, and went to Ping eye2.
They look so nice. Love the look. Would love to try them.
I love my 50, 54 and 58 wedges
A great looking set of irons, reminds how John Letters TX irons used to be, plenty of help in the long irons running into almost bladed short irons set from the early 1990s, if I could get them past the wife I would go for them.....
One of the things l love about your channel is the DTC brand testing. Could you please reach out to Sub 70? The Sub 70 TAIII v2 CB Irons is super interesting as long irons, and I would love to see the Sub 70 TAIII v2 MB Irons as a blended set. Come to think of it, I would love to see a series on blended sets, just where does it make sense to blend? I know it depends on the brand and series, but I would love to see some kind of video on that. Last year I was playing ancient irons, well everything and decided to treat myself to a new(er) set. I can honestly afford anything I wanted but I refuse to pay a fortune because I have not played that much in the last few years. (Life). I want to like Sub 70, but they seem to be getting swallowed up, not enough press (some others as well). I like underdogs, I really want to support those that are building something competitive but lesser known. If that makes sense.
James, it’s reviews like this one that completely debunk the concept of “you must get fitted for irons”!
You bought them on Facebook, got some base numbers on simulator, hit the course and for some shocking reason could hit pretty much any shot you wanted (except that draw on the last section of the video).
I’m attempting some sarcasm here but my experience tells me that the need for fitted equipments is quite overrated. Perhaps the driver is the only club where fitting can yield a material difference.
I really like them seriously thinking on purchasing them last year but didn’t have lefties I don’t know now ..I went with the McGregor MT mills … what a beautiful set of clubs Ben Hogan ❤….oh I game Ben’s wedges 👍🏽
Still play the Fort Worth 15 blades and they’re amazing
I have PTxPro in satin and black and Icons. Bought them when they went out of business when guys were dumping them for next to nothing. Now that they're back in business... 😁.
I combo them up when conditions are really good.
They are very nice irons. Great feel, workability, and mostly consistent distances.
Recently got some Takomo 301CBs. I'm finding them good but not nearly as workable as the Hogans. We shall see which I end up playing. Playing.
I play them though. I don't 'game' them. That terminology needs to die a hard death.
James they are great looking and sounding irons. I bought an old set of Hogans to have here in the Man Cave because of their namesake and their looks. Perhaps you can game them on the next 100??
They look gorgeous
I have a set of PTX PRO and they are great. Hogan just released the 2025 iron lineup. We need a review James!
I have a set of Hogan Icon's that are amazing, would love to get my hands on a set of these
do MacGregor and Lynx next!!!!
Absolutely!
Looks like u lost some weight james well done m8 love these hogan's had some years ago 👍
I would like you to show a view looking down on the club at address. This brings back memories of when I worked at our golf shop in the early 70s in the Dallas Ft Worth area and I would go to the Hogan factory and Ben would be sitting in his office looking out in to the lobby.
My first ever set of clubs where a set of blade ben hogans . 😮
Hogan, Macgegor, and ram were baught by one company. The Macgregor milled forged irons are great
Had a set of Hogan Edge clubs, regret getting rid of them they were forgiving and long. Why does no one ever review Sub70? They make great clubs and have been around longer than the other DTC brands? They have a really great Customer Service as well which is lacking in most golf marketers.
Almost bought a set but when you can’t try them first, I went with a set I could
Id like to see some reviews of some DTC clubs from another former giant in the game...MacGregor, their clubs are competitively priced with other DTCs and have made golfspys editors choice and hot lists in recent years
They come in blacked out as well. Are they forgiving. Very pretty
I have ptx pro's and love them, the v sole makes turf interaction amazing. The only thing i don't like, it's too easy for me to turn them over.
Great option, as Tokomo is expensive for us Canadians have to pay in US funds plus got a bill for customs
Hi James, you need to test the new Ben Hogan Legend hollow body irons
The drivers look unbelievable too
Personally play the Macgregor irons. Same manufacturing company as Ben hogan
I would still buy Takomo 201 heads and shaft them with X-flex graphite shafts. I trust the quality of the Takomos more. There several shaft brands that are lesser known, but high quality. The Hogans are less forgiving than the 201 Takomos.
I think the Ram Golf irons are pretty hard to beat for the price ( especially when fitted with the UST mamiya graphite shafts )the only downside might be finding somewhere to get them fitted.
I paid for a set a few years ago. Waited months and never received them. Customer service kept lying to me when I reached out and strung me along. Then one day I find out the company closed the doors. No refund. Just stole my money. I know it's under new ownership now but I'll never spend another dime with them.
I want the takomo irons thanks
Very nice
What would be better for a high handicapper, new BH , Takomo, Kirkland etc irons or older big brand ones ie Mavrik, M1 etc?
Can't say they look brilliant, not ugly either. It's more a timewarp to the past. Pretty unique for 2025 that's for sure.
Ben Hogan was doing DTC waaay prior to Takomo or Caley.
New level are the best get the 480s $700 and they're built in their tour Department with whatever shaft you want🎉
Going to be hard to replace my BH apex plus forged..
I'd really like to know why no one mentions Sub 70 when listing off these DTC brands... Sub 70 has been making GREAT clubs and it seems like content creators are ignoring them or being told to ignore them...
Must confess that’s a brand I’ve not heard of
Yeah feels like that doesn’t it. I game Orka Ctis and am amazed how many people have never heard of them.
These club companies pay guys like James to do reviews. Clearly Sub 70 doesn’t think they need to pay anyone!
Because they're crap
@@DMKFACTORthey don't pay these guys
And of course not available in left hand what’s wrong with these companies based off your review I was ready to purchase a set of heads as I like my DG x100 shafts I’m using Takomo 101 atm been back playing for a year after a 10 year brake but now that I’m striking the ball way better I’m getting way too many flyers normal 9 iron is 140 to 150 metres sometimes getting 160 165 I used to use titleist ZMs maybe I should go back to them but have loved the forgiveness of the 101 any suggestions m8
I *might* be retiring my hogan blades this year. . .
Who are they aimed at? Mid or low handicaps?
Great set of clubs. Hogan went bankrupt a couple years and were bought by Golf Brands inc in Las Vegas 2023.
Plenty of sets of irons on Temu sub £300 and probably made by the same manufacturer calong.
I always got Ben Hogan clubs mixed up with Ben Sayers
I have a set of ptx tours which replaced my mizuno mp18 sc the hogans feel much softer and are very forgiving front to back on miss hits
Those aren’t @Rickshiels clubs are they?
This is the last set from Ben Hogan Golf with actual tech and engineering in them. Any Ben Hogan irons going forward will only be a "catalog" iron.
