Summary:
These clubs are a virtual copy of the Apex Edge Plus, clubs that Jim Furyk used for quite some time before going Srixon. While everyone is off chasing the latest and greatest and spending hundreds in the process, Ben Hogan clubs quietly sit in the background and hold their own.
Recently thought of switching to the titleist 755, I'm not imune to the chasing either, and after 3 seperate testing days, I'm sticking with my edge pros.
I have a 10 handicap and find that these clubs are the best I've found for the good player who need a little forgiveness.
Excellent feedback, buttery feel on good shots. Beautiful to look at. Get on ebay and steal a set of these from some schmuck out looking for the newest thing.

Summary:
I played off and on for over 40 years, but seriously for the last 5. In that time golf equipment has changed unbelievably. I started out over 40 years ago with tiny little Wilson Staff blades. For the last several years I have used a variety of "game improvement" irons. When my handicap dipped into the single digit range I figured I needed an iron that would allow more shot flexibility and also force me to work harder on my technique.

My son-in-law once had a set of these irons and he foolishly sold them before he could really appreciate them, a move he regrets to this day. I have had these for about a year now and I can truthfully say, I have naver played a finer club. Aside from the obvious esthetic superlatives you usually hear, the clubs just play beautifully. They are more forgiving than pure blades but work the ball very well. Mis-hits lose a little distance but not much. The feel of a solid hit with a forged club is just too sweet. As long as I put a good swing on the ball, I know I will not look up and be disappointed.

If you can still find a set of these, run, do not walk, out and get them. You will never regret it.

Always excellent Hogan service.

Summary:
I began playing golf when I was 30. After a year of struggling I immediately turned to a PGA professional to get me on the right track. After three months of lessons, I went from a 18 handicapper to a five. I had all the right stuff for golf and I knew that I needed a good set of irons to help me attack a golf course–so I purchased a set of Hogan Apex II's in 1981. They were really sweet clubs and I enjoyed them tremendously. But I gave up the game in 1986 to chase bass. A big mistake. I missed my golf and took up the game a few years ago. I went through enough clubs to balance our budget. A friend of mine had a set of Hogan Edge Pros and once in a while I would pull one out and hit it. The club brought back memories of when I used to swing the Apex II's. I hunted everywhere on the internet and finally connected with a brand new set. I purchased them and love the feel when that ball meets the clubhead–that unmistakable "click!" Like hitting an egg, it's totally AWESOME! These are the sweetest feeling irons I've ever held in my hands. I have bought so many sets that I normally need to make adjustments when switching irons, but this was not the case with the Edge Pros. Ben Hogan clubs have been referred to as the Mercedes Benz of golf clubs and their looks and playability are testament to why they are so highly regarded as the best irons in the business. These Edge Pro's are the sweetest hitting forged clubs on the market today. It's a shame that Hogan discontinued the "Pro" model series. Their new set, the Apex Edge clubs are almost identical. Also, Edge Pro's are slick looking clubs. They set up just right when addressing the ball and I have the utmost confidence when I have these babies in my hands and being able to pull off a shot. When your game gets into the low seventies, or better, it's the small things that make all the difference. Having a positive feeling about the club you are holding in your hands goes a long way in helping you knock a few strokes off of your score. These clubs will do just that. Not only can you work the ball, but these clubs are easy to hit. Hogan is the only name to go to in irons. No other club I've hit delivers the same crispness that the Edge Pro's give you. It is hard to go wrong with a golf company that was founded by a man who could be classified as one of the purest strikers of the ball.

Summary:
Like many other reviewers here, I feel that this are the best clubs I have ever owned. I switched to these from i3 blades, and these are simply better. They look and act enough like blades to appeal to the mid to low capper, but they have enough forgiveness to be very playable. They're forged, and that makes them beautiful, responsive, and a pleasure to hit, when you hit pure to good shots. I will never switch again, and am looking for another back up set on ebay. These clubs are superb
