Lucky find in OKC


Bboland72

Recommended Posts

I was lucky enough to find a set of practically new Ben Hogan Apex Plus irons in a little shop in OKC. These were one of my favorite irons of all time. And now with this set back in the bag, I am a happy golfer! I couldn't believe the condition of these irons... looks like they were never used. They will now be in play as my number 1 set. I'll post pics when I can.

Oh i have been there! Nice guy who runs it. They have a lot of mizuno stuff and really try to push it. I believe he told me any thing i wanted to test i could take to the hefner range and try it out before i buy it, which was pretty cool.

If they have the OEM grips, save them if you can ( use air compressor and a little solvent ).

They can bring a few bucks.

They were pretty much dry rotted, came apart in pieces...small pieces!

In that case, I would also check the epoxy or go ahead to re-epoxy the whole set before you put them in play/ While changing grips also check the inside of the shaft for sign of rust for safety.

Nice pretty set !
