About this product
This Ben Hogan Apex Grind iron set from 1990 includes six irons: 3 through 8. They are right-handed with stiff flex steel shafts. These classic blades are forged and feature the iconic Apex grind, offering playability for skilled golfers who prefer traditional feel and workability.
Our take
I took this vintage Hogan set to the range and appreciated the pure feel these forged blades provide. The stiff flex shafts suit a faster swing, and the grind design is classic Hogan—subtle but effective for shot shaping. However, these are not forgiving; mishits are punished, and the 3-iron is a beast to launch. The set lacks wedges and the 9-iron, so you'll need to fill gaps. If you're a traditionalist with a good swing who wants to experience a piece of golf history, this set delivers. But for average handicappers, there are much easier options.
