I took the plunge and bought some classic Hogan irons

Beautiful irons mate! Great find...

I'm looking to get a set of Hogan precision irons. 1955 set of 4-9, rocket steel shafts. If I wait a while, would you think a reasonably priced set of precision irons will come up for sale again in a few months?

 

I see these on ebay ((seller is in Oregon). Any thoughts?

Even though they're not in the bag right now I will never sell my 1999-2000 Apex Plus's. And someday I'll find a set of lefty Hogan blades.

Can't add much more than has already been said. Was playing a used set of Hogan Edge for over 20 years. Didn't play much, in fact, went about 15 years not playing at all. In 2014 news broke that Hogan clubs were coming back on the market for 2015. I had recently retired from work. I liked mine and thought I might get some new ones; but could I hit blades? So, I started off with some used Hogan Radials to see if I could play blades...I could and was hooked. Bought Hogan's book "The 5 Lessons Of Golf". Now have so many sets of Hogan iron/woods my wife is going to beat me over the head with them if I buy any more. So I got some Macgregor, Palmer and Titleist and all kinds of woods. I never did buy any of the new Hogans. Why pay $140.00 per club when I can get a whole set of used for that price? I am now 61 years old and enjoying golf more than ever playing with the Men's Senior Association at my favorite local course. I am the only player in the group using old vintage clubs.

 

A kindred spirit

"...And someday I'll find a set of lefty Hogan blades....."

...really?

 

 

 

Am pretty sure there are some around.

....And if you're really looking....

 

 

 

....you might find some MacGregor Ben Hogan persimmon woods.

 

Just don't expect them to be at your local Goodwill, or Salvation Army.

 

Good Luck.

Hey stranger! Welcome back!!!

The shafts also seem to be the "pinned" style that I see on the older Hogan offerings, not sure what kind of trouble I'd run into trying to reshaft them... I figure I'll hit them see how I perform with them and then reshaft as necessary.

 

Yeah, I can see this slippery slope in front of me inching closer... the thing is the cost of picking some of these irons up is so low that impulse "shopping" could become a habit!

 

Thanks for the replies, I feel like a kid with a new bike that I have to ride around the neighborhood and show off... :-)

 

They pinned the heads to the shaft back then because the expoxy wasn't as good. You can reshaft em without having to pin them back. I'd get a club builder to do it though. Those sweet sticks!! I have the 74 Hogan Directors and the 78 Producers.
