I don't usually bother leaving bad reviews but I am rather angry about their "so what" attitude. You don't seem to be able to add a review on their website which may explain why they're all 5*. Very disappointed with the company's response to these issues and their failure to offer any type of solution which doesn't involve me paying them more money. Presumably exactly the same shaft with same result. Where the 2nd rate paint was concerned I was kindly offered the chance to pay $50 and p &p to have a new shaft fitted.

Why sell them with defective headcovers? Why not get them right before going to market? Surely not that difficult as other makers manage it. I have played a number of what I consider quality blades,67 VIPS,Hogan Personnal model (set 0644) Cleveland TA1,Nike VR pro and Hogan Apex 98-99 and nice as the Hogan 98-99s are by far the nicest looking and performing blade is the Clevelands absolutely beautiful even more so than a 63 round Carnoustie in a hoolie or a 40 year old Sophia Loren. No replacement to be given though clearly they are defective by admission. The face, which actually hits the ball, is high-strength HT1770 steel or something similar. There’s a growing trend in the GI category of calling an iron forged when, in fact, only the body is forged. They accepted that the headcovers were a problem and were 'working on this '. The new Ben Hogan Edge EX irons are something of a unicorn in the game improvement arena. (This is in contrast to some Adams hybrids which i have had for 5 years and are not as badly chipped, so I don't believe my expectations are unrealistic.) I contacted Ben Hogan who couldn't have done, ir cared, less. I then noticed that the paint on the shafts has chipped in many places after relatively limited use. The latter has a crescent ring at the top of the hosel (see attached image) while the former does not.

They came with headcovers which were frankly useless and were lost in the first few rounds. While I cant speak to the forging source for the Callaway-era Hogan Apex Plus irons, there is a quick way to tell the 1999 Spalding-era Hogan Apex Plus irons from the 2006 Callaway-era Hogan Apex Plus irons. After reading that both Ben Hogan and Moe Norman played with very heavy clubs, I thought Id try the heavy Hogan Radials made in the early 80s. However I bought 2 hybrids at the same time. Jody includes some insights from Hogans personal club maker, Gene Sheeley, and adds some details, including the bounce on the sole of the irons, which ranged from negative with the long irons to none at all with the shorter clubs the reminder under the standard size cord grip set at 5 oclock and an odd claim that the heel of the irons were. Ive always played blades because the GIPs always looked ugly and 'gimmicky' to me. The ordering and delivery of the clubs was good and i have no problem with the irons.
