This is an excellent club for the high index player to graduate to. Those currently using cast cavity back clubs and are looking to work the ball and lower your handicap, make the move to the Hogans. The long proven technology will aid you in your quest.The cost is resonable (get fitted) and the long term reward is immeasurable. Remember always play like your a winner....smile alot even if you missed your putt.

Superb Forged Iron9 of 9 people found this review helpful.
I have a golf business and have bought, sold, and played almost everything.
Forged Hogan is the best. They feel SO much softer and sweeter than Callaway (brick on a stick), Ping (straight but short), TaylorMade (nice clubs, but not spectacular), Cleveland (hit them on the sweet spot or suffer), Nike (Pro-forged has so-so feel), McGregor (just a bit too heavy), and even the vaunted Mizuno forged irons (super low launch angle, and not even close to Hogan for feel).
They say the new Hogan FTX is not quite as good, but to me they are identical to the Plus. Guess I am not sensitive enough to feel the difference.
The Apex Plus is a muscle back, rather than a blade, so you do get some foregiveness on mis-hits, but not a lot. The swing weight feels very light, and encourages a higher swing speed. Totally workable for fades, draws, knock-downs, or high soft ones.
Distance is very good, especially considering that they did not "cheat" and use lower lofts to get it (the E, or pitching wedge, is 46 degrees... perfect for a four wedge set of 46-50-54-58.
One drawback; the grips suck. Not that great to start with and they wear fast.
I would never buy a Hogan driver, wedge, or putter, but the irons are truly great. Same goes for the hybrids. Just the sweetest longest most workable clubs you can find.

Ben Hogan Apex Plus Irons2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
What do you like: I've been playing Mizuno MX-23 for the past three seasons. After hitting an Apex Plus iron at the range, I decided to buy a set. Not dissapointed at all. These irons are buttery soft. And with my swing type, more sweeping, the narrow sole still allows for me to take a divot. Head shape is smaller which allows for more shot shaping and at the same time the shallow cavity back provides some forgiveness.
What I don't like: Club head material is very soft (can't have everything, right?) and dings easily. Definitely use breathable covers or bag clatter dents will result. Graphite shafts are okay but now I wished I opted for the Hogan steel #3.

Hogan Apex Plus IronsReview created: 07/09/07

A good set of used quality irons at a fair price. Ben Hogan Irons are noted for their playablitity and responsivness. They are not the quality of original Hogan products but acceptable. This will be the 5th set of Hogan's I've owned over the last 40+ years.

love these irons!I have been wanting a set of Hogan irons for years, but could not justify hundreds of dollars for new ones. These irons are great, and what a value! I can not believe the difference in workability over my previous cavity back irons.

Bad golfer Great clubsI love these clubs. When I started playing golf I could not hit cavity backs. I still can hit cavity backs. I also can't hit straight blades, but there is something great about these clubs. They are not normal blades, they are also an in between club. I bought them new over 4 years ago and they still hit like they are new, Hogan knows quality. If you can get a set of these clubs I would strongly recommend them.
I really like how easy you can put spin on the ball with these clubs, I have made the ball stop dead on the green with the spin that you can produce. I will say that these clubs are not very forgiving, not like cavity backs, but when you hit them right you don't feel anything and the ball just takes off.

I previously own a set couple of years ago, but sold them. After trying them again I sold them also. The irons unlike the irons I play now Hogan Apex blades

I never received the item because the "seller" did not claim my payment through paypal. I cancelled my paypal payment after numerous attempts to contact the seller with no response. I believe the seller did not want to sell the item for the price I bought it for, so he backed out. All other purchases through ebay and payments via paypal have been smooth and incident free.

BEN HOGAN APEX PLUS IRONSReview created: 01/08/07
by:
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I love the look of these irons. My problem is that at 56 years old I've lost some swing speed. These clubs are great for single digit handicap players. Alas, this was me about five years ago. I still plan to keep them because they're so beautiful. I will play American made forgings any day over Mizunos. The chroming is sooo superior on Ben Hogan and Wilson Staffs, not to mention the classic/timeless looks of these American made clubs.

Hogan Apex +Review created: 09/02/06

I am a long time golfer 30+ years and my handicap has ranged from 5 to 15 over those years. Most of the time I have played with a forged blade and on occasion a set of pigns to see what they were all about. But at the end of the day I always seems to go back to a forges blade, and normally a Hogan. I was looking for something that would give me the playability that I needed plus some forgivness when I did not have my 'A' game......which is more often than not now adays. These Hogans give me everything that I need in a club plus I can still use the Apex 4 shaft that I am used to. I can work the ball left or right and still have a margin for error. This is a great set for someone that either is ready to improve their game or needs to scale back a bit from a true blade. Standing over these clubs, they feel just like a normal blade.....but easier to hit at the end of the day.

Purchasing golf clubs on eBay2 of 6 people found this review helpful.
I purchased a set of Ben Hogan Apex Plus irons on eBay and have been very happy with the purchase. The auction allowed me to find a set of clubs no longer available as new and at a very reasonalbe price. What I like most about eBay is the vast number of products available, you can find almost anything for sale. What I dislike is the number of scams ever present, lurking behind a false identity in an attempt to gain access to an honest member's account.

pleasnt experience2 of 5 people found this review helpful.
As simply as possible. I was looking to buy a set of irons. tremendous The Ben Hogan Apex graphite were available and fortunate enough I won them for what I consider a reasonable $ amount. The vendor shipped and packaged them in a excellent manner. I thank him for taking good care of the clubs and the professionalism in the way he followed through. thank you for a pleasant experience of ebaying.

Pros
Can be bent to your swing.
This is something that I highly recommend, It was $4.00 a club in phoenix.
Classic look and name.
Hogan is a certain style and NAME that will always outlast the lastest and greatest.
Price is right.
I paid $400.00 4 years ago and still love these clubs. They are much cheaper now I see.
Forgiving but also let you work the ball.
I'm a 15 HCP and these make me feel confident over the ball. Top line is just right I hate think top line (AKA Calloway).
I've played Wilson Pro Staff and Clevelands. I've also used demo sets of taylor made and King Cobra (they had there day).
