Has a little ‘99 Spaulding-era Apex in it, doesn’t it?

That should have Apex stamped on it.  It's too bad that Callaway has that name now.

Im not sure how the steps are going to look in person but it looks a little chunky from this image. The USGA black and white photos are never flattering though.

Looks like article was published: https://mygolfspy.com/first-look-ben-hogan-icon-irons/

I would like to officially put in my Tester request for these things.

Tim /Iowa

Handicap 9.4

Current Irons: r11

7 iron distance: 170yrds

All jokes aside these look so much better then the USGA image above. The blade-on-blade look seems like a classic aesthetic but still modern. I'm right on the edge of the handicap limit but irons are by far the best part of my game. Great to see how strong Ben Hogan is coming back with some great looking product and look forward to test these and the PTX when i can get a hold of there Demo clubs.

Been a member here since 12/10 but never posted.  Why?  I have no idea so this is my first post.  LOL

 

I just ordered a set of these in nickel chrome with KBS Tour V stiff shafts.  I wish Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 or 105 shafts were available.  I am not sure when these will be sent out due to the current world issue.  My current gamer set is the 1999 Ben Hogan Apex blades.  We'll see how these compare.

I totally agree. Any time I see an article. I pull a pen and pad like its history class.
