Yes - i saw them on an auction site - nice - look like the Hogan model that was reissued rather than the original. I posted on another site (more equipment based site) asking for opinions on the design of early Hogan irons.

It interests me that their chief test pilot ( Ben) and their designer were obviously the 2 key minds involved in their products and one can see an evolution within their models... I just can't explain why they evolved that way!

ANy thoughts? He seems to be taking mass away from the toe in varying different designs (personals are similar to MP29s/37... and then he has the powerthrust then apex designs)

Come the 80s The directors redistribute the mass differently too.

I enjoyed a lovely set of Hogan Apex BH grinds ( late 80s models) so sweet... until stolen from car!!!!!

I have a feeling that the older forgings were softer than modern ones. Old mizunos almost drip steel all over the ball... they are that soft - beyond butter!!

It could be the shafts were softer in the 80s? in the average set but i still think that the sweetspot of an old forging is so much better than a modern one!


Is it all a

I pretty sure I read in Wishon's book that a softer shaft would produce a more "solid" feel.
