What works best for your long game?  Do you prefer to go for the gusto with fairway woods, or perhaps seek the control of a driving iron, maybe the forgiveness provided by hybrids?  Well the Ben Hogan Golf Company has options available in all three categories.

This may very well be the largest forum test ever conducted on the internet.  Can you say MEGA TESTING?

We’re going to give 15 of you a chance to test one of these in the category you choose, no that’s not a misprint.  Fifteen forum members will get a chance to test a GS3 Fairway wood, UHI driving iron or a VKTR+ hybrid.

Do you currently play a Long Iron or Hybrid-I am dying to play a long iron.  Have been looking and testing a variety but have not settled on one yet.  I currently have a Nike Vapor 3 hybrid, but really want to try a driving iron.  I actually looked at the Hogan website at their long irons and did a little research.
