Distance is good, control is great and they put tons of spin on approach shots. This feedback will actually help improve your swing as you know exactly where on the clubhead you hit the ball - unlike many of the "oversized shovels" that pass as golf clubs today. The feedback is exceptional and the feeling from clean strikes can only be described as pure butter. Not only do they look fantastic, they really do the business. This combination truly offers the best of both worlds - forgiveness in the long irons and ultimate shot-making capability in the short irons. The FTX's feature a small, progressive cavity in the 3-7 irons, with muscleback blades in the 8-E (E=pitching wedge in Hogan speak). These clubs are also slightly shorter than most of the competitors, though my old Apex Plus' were the same way, and I didn't notice any problems with them in terms of length.įor anyone with half-decent ballstriking ability (probably less than a 12 handicap) then I think these are fantastic clubs. Whereas most pros play 48PW, 54-56SW, and 60LW, you might need to put four wedges in play with these irons: 46PW, 50-52GW, etc. My only complaint is that I may have to buy a gap wedge. They also maintain a good degree of workability.Īs I mentioned, the lofts of these irons are strong. If you don't really know what that means, these irons probably aren't for you. This is most definitely still a player's club. Forgiveness is higher than the older model (Apex Plus, Edge Pro), but still demanding. They are perfect clubs for more exposed golf courses where the wind is strong and changing. Even lower quality balls stop obligingly on long irons. The trajectory is lowish (on top of the stronger lofts) and the spin is perfect. It is nearly impossible to explain the feeling of puring a BH iron, but I will try! It is effortless and as smooth as butter. If BH had a higher budget, more tour players would be playing their irons. As with all Ben Hogan irons (and not with woods or putters!), these FTXs are pure quality.
