pozzit 645 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 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. 1 Quote Driver: Ben Hogan GS53 3W: Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead 2 2i: Maltby KE4 FDI 4-PW: Maltby TS-1 - C-Taper 120g 50º: Maltby TSW 56º: Cleveland RTX-2 60º: Maltby Tour Grind MG Putter: Odyssey White Hot RX 2-ball Ball: Snell MTB X Other: Game Golf Live Handicap: 5.9 - Best Score: 73 (1 over) Bryan Park - Players Course, Greensboro NC -2020 2020 MGS Forum Tester - Ben Hogan GS53 Driver Link to post Share on other sites
RobotDoctor 189 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) 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.
