To me these are the Amy Schumer of irons....a little thick in some areas and a bit to round in others, but overall not bad looking at all.

well played sir

Great job Jmike! I've been looking forward on yours and rookie's reviews the most because your games were prolly the most similar to my own. That and the fact Rookie has prolly owned more clubs than I've seen in my entire life.

I'm really sad I didn't get to review these to give the opposite approach.

Apprenti. I am glad someone else saw what I saw. I also checked them out last week at the PGA Superstore and thought the same thing you did. But thought my eyesight may be off but then I read your post. They have more offset on the short irons than the older Hogans had for sure. The round toe did not bother me that much even though I am used to squarer toes. Now I can cancel that appointment with my eye doctor thanks!

Hey guys. Happy to hear some extra input from some other guys. Every club looks different to every golfer. I happen to find these so well tied together I'm at a loss for words with the looks!

 

Got a change to have a lesson and play 9 holes this evening. I have to say it was one of the best nines I've played in my life. I had complete control of these irons all the way through the bag. I just couldn't be happier.

 

Man, I fell in love with them all over again!

Just to be clear fellas I keep the putter companies solvent over here in my part of the world.  In fact I have my eye on a nice Mizuno putter at the Muni pro shop that I'm waiting to purchase.  Those guys just rub their hands together when I walk in the shop :lol:

Off set :huh: off set is evil, really how much off set are we talking here? :mad:

I'm going to give this one a hack. Think 825 pro for offset. I bagged those for a time and it was a nice transition into the SCORs at the bottom. The 825 head shape and size were different, squarer and larger.

 

Apprenti doesn't sit on here bragging, he's told us he's a pro, perhaps I even remember a class A, his eye is going to be a bit different from most of ours. I love Big Stu but he plays in classic club events, that trains the eye differently also. What they are reminding us of is huge, not all clubs are for all golfers, we all swing differently and we view things and hear things and feel things differently. Golf is not a one size fits all game.

I'm tipping my cup of Joe to both of them as I write.

Rev,

 

Sounds like you are trying some affirmation stuff to talk yourself into these. As I said in my review they do have a bit thicker top line and a bit more offset than I would prefer.....both ended up not making a difference to me. I can take some pics next to my Adams MB2s and AP2s over the weekend when I get home if that would be helpful for you?

Thanks much for your reviw, jmike, I will probably go back and reread your thoughts several times.  I especially liked your frankness regarding the wedges and your sand play......keep at it, it will come.  Just a couple weeks ago i jarred a bunker shot with my 57* SCOR....if i can do it, I know you can!

I have decided to wait a while to purchase the Hogans, until my game improves.  I am only in my second year.  I did a little experiment.  My first set of clubs was the Adams Idea, even the 6 iron is a bit of a hybrid.  Then I bought SCOR which replaced my wedges and 9 iron.  Then last winter I bought Callaway Big Bertha irons and played them.  I was never happy with them, huge ugly offset and I was drawing & hooking all the time.  So, a couple of games ago I went back to the Adams and hit them very well, just a nice draw.

 

The SCOR have always been in my bag since I bought them over a year ago.  But, I thought well, if I am hitting the Adams well, why not put the Adams wedges and 9 iron back in the bag?  Mistake!  It was a reminder of just how consistent the SCOR clubs are.  Today I will be playing with my Adams Idea down to the 8 iron and SCOR 60, 56, 52, 48, 44.

 

Maybe when Hogan comes out with a Game Improvement iron, I will be a customer.

I wouldn't sell yourself short Ocean Sands.  You can grow into a set and as you do your ball striking does improve.  Sounds to me like you have a good head on your shoulders though and the fact that you are hitting a draw already is a great start in a difficult game.

@jmike cpa - the pics will be nice but I'm doubting that they look any different from the SCORs, in fact to me they look like SCORs in Hogan's clothing - that's not bad - I'm thinking that the specs are the same for the wedges as well.  For me the SCORs were always about the sole.  I had very similar experiences to yours and others here with that sole at first.  Once I got it though I was fine.  I'm very confident that it will work well for me up to around a 30 so the question is - 26 or 5 hybrid.

 

Given that I bagged a 5 hybrid up until last season it wouldn't be hard to pick up one to match my current Callaway 4 and be done with it.

Man. I'm so confused about the offset comments you guys are making. I get that the hosel is radically different, but these irons don't sit like a game improvement club to me or anything in that neighborhood.

 

I really think the Hogan hosel might play some games with people in the offset department? Maybe not. I very well may be the one whose incorrect!

 

That being said, Rev, I have some perspective for you. Thinking about replacing my 25 with a hybrid or a MP-H5 type of iron, I went for a lesson and a fitting yesterday. I had my lesson, we talked about what I wanted to do, he had me hitting the top end of my bag for quite awhile and we really worked on impact with the 25. I was hitting it well.

 

I then took out my i25 hybrid, the MP-H5 4 iron, callaway utility 23 degree, titleist 4 hybrid and a jacked up callaway alpha 3 hybrid (loft raised). I was hitting them all on the range just to try them out, and the only one I was consistently hitting further than my 25 was the alpha. But to me that was strictly because of the loft. The 25 felt better, went higher, went further to my eye and was easier to shape.

 

My point being that these are some pretty friendly clubs. And I'm starting to warm up to playing the longer irons as well. Don't sleep on these guys!

 

I know I seem like nothing but a positive Hogan person, but I'm just giving some honest feedback here. I want all of you guys anyone who makes a decision off of what I say, I want them to make that because it's what is best for them. Not because of a brand.

Sschaeffer - look at the handicap of those who are talking about offset - those guys are all capable of hitting anything really and even a small, very small amount of offset might lead to issues with a hook or over draw or difficulty hitting a little cut with the short irons.  I think they are seeing what's there and they are right for their mind's eye.

 

To me the little offset is just right, my swing has slowed down a bit, I will take a bit of help.

 

In regards to the 25 sometimes it's between the ears of course - the question I have to ask is whether I want to put in the work to feel comfortable with a club even if it is relatively easy to hit.  It's why I've avoided players irons - I can hit them - they just take more work than I have time for or care to invest - I'd rather be playing golf. :)

 

You're in a much different place, you are on the upside of a mountain that I and others are about half way down on the other side.  We have different needs.  I love having your perspective and enthusiasm here!

I have to take another look at mine next time I play.  Think is, I have played forged blades (Hogans) most of my life until my AP2's.  Never once have I looked down at the new Hogans and thought I saw large offset.  Half of me wants to dig an old set out and look at them side by side and then also side by side with the AP2's.  Then again half of me wants to ignore the issue so I don't spoil the set to my eye.  Problem is, the genie is now out of the bottle and I am going to look regardless....

I don't care about offset as much as some do but I'm not a fan of it if there is a lot. For anyone who has seen these in person, check out the link below. It has 4 irons, 2 of which look fine to me and 2 that border on shovel-ish. Which is most similar to the hogans in offset only?

I think the shaft lean is different in each frame...

Rev,

 

Thank you sir! I live and breathe this game. I just wish the industry was more profitable. I'd love at some point in my life to do something with it. But, we all can have dreams! Plus, I don't want to kill my love for the game.

 

I think that's why I enjoy this place so much. It gives me a way to talk shop with like minded people who know what I'm talking about, instead of things going over their head. I always get my drivers cut down to 44.25 and the guys I golf with who are taller than me think it's a terrible idea to even swing that club. If only they know what the likes of Furyk and DJ play...

 

Undershooter, to me they look like they're the Mizuno/Nike irons in terms of offset. If I HAD to pick one id say Mizuno.
