The Ben Hogan Company started in 1953. It was well known throughout the company that there was nobody that expected perfection more than Mr. Hogan; to say he was iconic is an understatement.

Today, I hope you are as excited as me, to watch these gents make Mr. Hogan proud as they test the newest clubs with his name on them.

Testing the Icons will be:
@Erik-M
@downlowkey

Testing the combos will be:
@joen
@deejaid
@bens197
@Sluggo42

Hit 'em well gents!  Just like Mr. Hogan did, we expect perfection. 😎

So honored to be a part of such a great group of testers.   We've got a really good mix of experience, locations and handicaps in this group.   We've got a couple young guns who can really golf their ball, and I'll be representing the upper limits of handicap that these irons are designed for.   

To quote one of my favorite Golf Personalities "Let's Do It!"

Massive congratulations to all the testers, really nice to see some fresh faces amongst some well known names here 🤩.

So now you all have to channel your inner Hogan. I recommend watching Follow the Sun and buying an old 1iron to hit. Remember not only are we all watching but Mr Hogan is too....😁😎

I’m excited and very grateful to MGS for selecting me.  I’ve played everything from the original 1954 Hogan Precision’s, to the 1960 Power Thrust, to the 1968 Bounce Sole, the 2000 Apex Plus, the 2006 Apex, the 2015 Ft. Worth’s and now these beautiful PTX Pro/ Icon combo set.    
 

Can’t wait to get into this review!

Congratulations testers for being chosen to review these beautiful irons! I am going to echo the sentiment of @Nunfa0 by saying that it's great to see some established members and some of the newer spies getting an opportunity to review these clubs for the community. Hit them well and it'll be fun to follow along.
