GolfSpy BOS Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have not used hogan's in the past. I started my golf adventure using my dad's old mcgreggor vip blades from like the 70s, granted I was 19 years old when I started. Then I have been using titleist ap2 for the past couple years. I am excited to see them in person!!Nice which AP2? I’ve got the 714s so I’ll be really interested to see how you like them and playable they are!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nunfa0 and Erik-M 2 Quote Epic Max LS 10.5 - Motore X F3 6X | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | TSi3 20* Hybrid - KBS Proto 85S SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 ER2B | Pro V1x | NX9 Slope | Jones Trouper R | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluggo42 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I’m hoping that the icon blades will soon see the development of some icon wedges, to keep that forged thing going for the icon players. The equalizers seem a perfect mating to the ptxpro’s. But I suppose many will just continue to use their Vokey’s or Cleveland’s/wedge of choice. it just seems to be the next natural progression joen, sirchunksalot and JerBooth 3 Quote TSr2 on tensi blue stiff Speedzone 3-wood on Tensi blue S Epic Max 5 and 7 woods on HZRDUS Reg flex Paradym 9 wood on HZRDUS reg flex P770 / P790 combo set on Ventus R-6 shafts 6-AW T22 Denim Copper 54°, 58° on Kinetic X Trajectory ER3 or, E.A.S. #4 (“Fang” or “Adele”) ProV1x, or, Maxfli Tour X .Org 14 cart bag Adidas Tour 360 , or Sketcher shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
