golfish! Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 So I recently bought a used Mevo off Ebay and tested the 3H against the 3W. Got some interesting data... Average of 23 yards longer carry with the 3W than the 3H with an avg speed 4 MPH faster. I checked with the data I got from the other LM and saw that I was swinging the 3W faster by about 2MPH but also swinging the 3H about 2MPH slower than that test. Could just be I was more warmed up for that test or just swinging better that day on the 3H vs this test day for the 3W. I noticed the carry distances on my last comparison were about the same so it is interesting data indeed. kardboard.kid, Nolan220 and JohnSmalls 2 1 Quote Driver : SIM2 Max 9* MC Kuro Kago Silver 60 Stiff Woods : GS53 3 Wood 14* Mitsubish Tensei Blue 73g Regular Hybrids: 949X Project X HZRDUS RDX Black Irons : 699 Pro Black 5-AW 1* flat KBS Tour V 90 Stiff Shafts Wedges : 52, 56, 60 Putter : Spider Red Bag : lightweight cart bag | Dry Series Bag Ball : TP5 PIX (2019) | ProV1x (2021) Rangefinder : ULT-X Pushcart : M5 GPS DHC Electric Push Cart SoCal, USA Right handed HDCP 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowev01 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 UPDATE #2 So I let a co-worker borrow the Hogan to take to a top tracer range since he has been in the market for a new 3 wood. He's currently gaming an RBZ phase 1, standard stock regular flex shaft. The first picture is his current gamer: His swing speed is a little high for regular flex, which is why I thought he might like the Hogan. Here are his numbers with the X-Stiff Tensei Blue Hogan: Again, considerable distance gap from a club much older than this one. I think the ball flight is better suited with the Hogan, but even with a lower trajectory,, distance suffers. He did say he really liked it though, which is the interesting thing; it does FEEL really good.

twyatt700 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 So one thing I was thinking about and talking with my wife about is how cool this whole thing really is! She was asking about the club I had “won” and I explained how I sent it to someone else and why. And I realized that it’s really cool that I had the opportunity to try something I was curious about (I desperately wanted to be the driving iron guy!) but didn’t have to invest a lot of money to find out. At the end of the day I realized that I hit hybrids better than the longest irons and I was able to then send the club on it way to give them an opportunity to try it out. Pretty awesome when you think about it.

I haven't passed mine on yet as I've been wanting to give it a try when the courses around here get a bit dryer and there is more run in the fairways, but after that if it's still not a club I plan to use regularly then I'll probably be passing it along too.

gbtrsc Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I am not going to be able to do a worthy review of the club I was given. It’s a UiHi utility with a stiff Tour V90 shaft. I’ve hit about 10 balls with it which was enough to tell me that it is not the right shaft for me.

oaks Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So I had my first opportunity to take the VKTR+ out on the golf course and while it felt great and the distance was comparable I do not see it unseating my Exotics. the Hogan looks great and feels great but at this time my Exotics feels more comfortable in my hands. I rely on my Hybrid for a few crucial tee shots and approaches into one Par 5 in particular and I have that sense of security with my Exotics. The VKTR is a great Hybrid and my buddy is going to end up putting it in his bag after taking a few swinga cksurfdude, Nolan220, JohnSmalls and 1 other 4 Quote M3 460 9.5* - ACCRA TZ6 M5 X2 Hot Pro - 15* Aldila Tour Green X TaylorMade Jetspeed 19* w Matrix HM9 Mizuno MP-63 4-P Project X 6.0 Cleveland RTX4 - 50, 54, 60 Toulon Portland w P2 React Grip 2019 Players 4 - Pro V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGutierrez7 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Little update for you guys concerning how I'm getting along with the GS53 3W... I believe I noted this in my review but I will reiterate that it seems to spin slightly too much for me, but need to get it on a proper LM to verify my suspicions. Only reason I note this is because it seems to launch higher than I'm used to, even on the better strikes. Other than that, the club is fantastic and the feel is great. You can definitely feel when you catch it right. fozcycle and JohnSmalls 2 Quote Most Recent Testing: 949x PRO Hybrid In my 2019 X-Cart Bag : M3 10.5* (TENSEI Blue 6R) GS53 3W 14* (Review) CLK 2017 4H 22* M6 Irons 4-PW (KBS MAX 85g Stiff Steel Shafts, Std Length & Lie) AW, SW: Forged Satin 48*, 54* LW: SM6 60* Infinite Putter Michigan Ave 34" e6 Current Tech: NX7 Rangefinder LX5 GPS Smartwatch (Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kardboard.kid Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 On 10/30/2020 at 9:10 AM, kardboard.kid said: Placeholder Hello Fellow MGS family, This is KK coming at you from the wonderful city of Columbus, OH. My name is Tim and I am a high handicapper. Last year saw little golf so my pursuit to lower my handicap was put on hold. When the pandemic hit I was on the downward track to a 14, but I fear I will start this year off higher. I was fitted for irons a couple of years that was part of this journey I am on. Because of several things that were well out of my control, this review is extremely late, and for that I would like to profoundly apologize. I have struggled finding a club to fit between my driver and my 5 iron for sometime now. I currently do not have a 3 wood, as I have a horrible time hitting them off the fairway, and my Cobra Hybrid also struggles in that department. Off the tee there is no problem, just of course; distance. I was hoping that the 3 Iron from Ben Hogan Golf would help to decrease that gap. I have found the area of most lost shots for me is between the second and third shots on the course. This would also provide for me a better choice on par 4’s, where a driver would not fit. I have been playing golf with a purpose for about 10 years now. Before that it was when I could get a round in or to be the comedy relief for a sales person with their customer. So let’s get to this review. My first impression of the iron was Stylish, and sleek. It has a very distinct look to it, that I hope will match in the ball striking category. The only thing that I am not sure of is the grip. It feels thin, and my become an issue down the road. “Our new UiHi utility irons make the process a whole lot easier. These clubs -- pronounced “You-Eye-High” -- feature a two-piece forged, hollow-body construction which produce higher launch angles, longer carry and more forgiveness -- on both center and off-center hits.” “Our engineers designed the UiHi utility irons so you can take an easier, more controlled swing … like the one you use with shorter irons that you are more comfortable hitting.” “The key lies in UiHi’s two-piece, multi-material forged construction. We started with a soft, 1020 carbon steel frame to create a larger clubhead with a deep cavity. The deep cavity allowed our R&D team to optimize weight distribution around the perimeter. This creates a very low, rearward Center of Gravity (CG) to help get the ball airborne quickly and maximize the size of the Effective Hitting Area. Our engineers added more weight to toe area, too, to eliminate lag and help ensure the face is squared at image. The face is forged is made of MS300 steel … an incredibly strong, hard and lightweight material. This enabled us to make it exceptionally thin so that more discretionary weight could be positioned in other places to add more forgiveness. Once the face is laser-welded to the softer 1020 carbon steel forged frame the result is a hollow-bodied, confidence-inspiring shaped and solid-sounding clubhead with a low-and-deep CG, maximum perimeter weighting, and loads of forgiveness.” These are the statements from the Ben Hogan website, and what I will use a reference to this review. The club is clean, and very “pro” looking. The club looks like something you would see in a PGA tour players bag. Grading 8 out of 10 Sound and Feel when ball striking, Due to the weather the only ball striking I have been able to do is indoors. What I have found is that the clubs strikes the ball very clean. Even on most mis hits,( within the grooves) the ball still feels the same coming off the club. I have found that the hits outside of the groove area are not as forgiving. For example; I could hit the ball very close to the bottom of the club head and not see a typical “topping” of the ball. If you hit near the toe, or heel the ball will squirt out in that direction. That would equate to bad ball flight on the course I would believe. I like the sound. To me it is clean and crisp and what the ball strike should sound like. I have posted a clip for sound in the thread already should someone what to hear the sound. I believe this “good feel” will lead to better striking on the course and for me what I need to fill that gap. Grading 8 out of 10 Now to the Meat of the review, the performance I have set up a hitting cage in my garage that allows me to get a full iron swing, and there is about 8 ft from where the ball is stuck to the net. I use a pad with a low turf and a medium height rubber tee. The first thing that stands out is the grip. I feel that this is almost as important as any other feature of a club. If you don’t feel good holding it, you won’t feel good swinging it, and you will end up not playing it. Even with a glove, the grip has caused discomfort to my hand. That would be the first thing to be changed long term. Separating out the “mishits” from the solid strikes, I began to see a pattern. No matter where on the club face I hit, and no matter how fast the swing, all the balls traveled the same line. The trajectory was between 22 inches, and 26 inches in 8 ft. That is about a 14 degree launch angle, which is slightly below the 18 degree loft of the club. Fo me that could turn out to be a good thing. I would expect the ball to runout farther after landing on the fairway, and also give me better control with miss hits. I am not sure the club is as forgiving in totality, as the initial thoughts were. I have not been able to find the center of the head hitting off the matt, as I have from the tee. What I find the most interesting is that the launch height is pretty much the same off the tee or matt. Initially I had only a net, but added a blanket to the front of the net to be able to better see where the ball was hitting, and I have hit several hundred balls into it this winter. Based on the performance and feel I experienced, I think I would change out the shaft to match my other clubs and put a mid, or maybe even thicker grip on the club. Grading 15 out of 20 Since I have yet to get on the course I want to refrain from finalizing the review score. But I will tell you that I really like the club, and I feel very strongly about it becoming my between club that I was looking for. Now that the courses are beginning to open around me, I will play a few rounds as is to either confirm my thoughts, or change them. If I change anything on the club I will keep you posted and Once I have some on course time, I will return to finish this review.

TCUfrog Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I've continued to struggle to hit this club despite wanting it to work so badly. My wife saw it in my bag this weekend and asked if i was going to continue to use it. When I said no, she asked if she could try it. She's a new golfer who's never hit hybrids before, so we are going to go to the range this weekend and see if it would work for her. The lighter shaft should work better for her.

golfish! Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Quick Update Still trying to find opportunities to hit this off the deck. Unfortunately, I am finding that I am either too close to the pin for a 3 wood (usually hitting my 3H to distances of about 190-210 to the pin) or too far ( 240+) from the pin to find many opportunities. I am still using it off the tee pretty effectively for shorter par 4's (199 total distance on a dog leg left short par 4 into a 2 club up wind). @AGutierrez7 I'll post some spin numbers from my Mevo after a good range session but for me seems to be spinning a bit less than my 3H. kardboard.kid and AGutierrez7 1 1 Quote Driver : SIM2 Max 9* MC Kuro Kago Silver 60 Stiff Woods : GS53 3 Wood 14* Mitsubish Tensei Blue 73g Regular Hybrids: 949X Project X HZRDUS RDX Black Irons : 699 Pro Black 5-AW 1* flat KBS Tour V 90 Stiff Shafts Wedges : 52, 56, 60 Putter : Spider Red Bag : lightweight cart bag | Dry Series Bag Ball : TP5 PIX (2019) | ProV1x (2021) Rangefinder : ULT-X Pushcart : M5 GPS DHC Electric Push Cart SoCal, USA Right handed HDCP 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbtrsc Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 [mention=65394]gbtrsc[/mention] passed his UiHi on to me, I'm not going to hijack the thread with a full-blown review but I'm going to give a little "mini" review as I have thoughts from using it. More to come!It’s a very nice club that for me had the totally wrong shaft. I could barely get the ball airborne with it. I want to try it to compare with my VKTR 18* which I love, and hit on a good mid-high trajectory. I just didn’t think I could give the UiHi a complete and fair review strictly based on the shaft that it was shipped with. Just jot a fit for me.

ncwoz Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Some initial impressions for me, the UiHi may have some tech stuffed into its head, but it's still very compact! Compared to my TS-1 gamers in the rest of my irons, the 3i UiHi is pretty similar blade length and just a hair thicker of a top line. As others have already mentioned, it looks great at address. They managed to hide the sole behind the club face well, as opposed to a lot of other driving iron/hybrid-like long irons that have some "meat" that shows behind the club at address. It looks really good at impact, but be somewhat warned. I think if you're already playing some smaller profile irons, these will still be confidence inspiring, but if you're looking for some more meat down there it might not be for you.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I still have my 3 wood, but it's sitting on the sideline right now. I'm trying to get my swing back after not swing at all over the off-season. I'm going to bring it with me once I'm on the course to finish up the review for the on-course portion and will update my scores. I keep having some others hit it and I haven't found anyone that uses current clubs (any 3 wood within the past 3 years) that has said they would game it. twyatt700 1 Quote Driver: Callaway Rogue ST Max 3 Wood: Taylormade SIM 3 Utility Iron: Srixon U85 4i – 5i: Taylormade P790 6i – AW: Taylormade P770 SW: Taylormade MG3 TW Grind LW: Taylormade Hi-Toe 3 Low Bounce Putter: PXG Battle Ready One & Done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncwoz Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 On solid strikes, the Hogan UiHi feels great. Really solid, not "tingy" or hard, like some more techy heads sometimes do. Performance-wise, I gave it a rip on the last hole this evening, and this is what I got out of it: 254, right down the pipe! Seems the club wants to fade a bit for me, which coincides with my other longer irons at the moment as well. Earlier in the round, I hit the UiHi noticeably thin, and still got 216 out of it with no roll out at all. I could certainly feel the miss-hit, but I was actually not too upset about where it ended up. One random other side note, for some reason the UiHi shaft is super long (even though it is "standard" length); about 1.5" longer than my standard length 4 iron. Out of curiosity I was perusing their website to see if there was an explanation and sure enough, in the FAQ, I found this: "... 8) Why our clubs tend to measure long? There are no true ‘industry standards’ when it comes to club length and many other club specifications ... every manufacturer is different. Our standard lengths, which are shown for each product along with other important specifications on our website, tend to be on the longer side when compared with those of other companies. There are a couple of reasons for this: First, we measure the overall length of our clubs from the ‘heel’ of the club head to the second ring on the grip’s butt cap ... where the shaft typically ends ... the way Mr. Hogan insisted. ..." It then goes on about more standard loft and lie angles. Figured that might be helpful to throw out there for anyone else who may be looking into ordering Hogan clubs (irons and wedges specifically I think?) in the future! golfish!, twyatt700, Nolan220 and 2 others 5 Quote Right Handed Driver: 9° Speedzone (HZRDUS Smoke Green 70g X-Stiff shaft) 2 Hybrid: 18° Exotics EXS Pro (Evenflow Black 6.5) (2020 MGS Official Review here) 3/Driving Iron: 18° UiHi Iron (MMT Utility TX 105g shaft) Irons: 4-GW T100 irons (Nippon Modus 120 X-Stiff shafts) (2021 MGS Official Review here) Wedges: 54° & 58° TSW Forged (Dynamic Gold S300) Putter: ER2B (2019 MGS Official Review here) Ball: MAXFLI Tour X Bag: Hoofer Lite WITB thread here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfish! Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 getting better with that 3W off the deck. 225 was about the distance I was looking for at the start of this test last year! smashing it off the tee for sure! Goes almost as long as if not longer sometimes than my driver!
