A Hogan iron for the masses: Ben Hogan Edge returns

Published

on

Thirty years ago when the original Ben Hogan Edge iron hit the market, it was a game changer. Now, the direct-to-consumer Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company is reintroducing the Edge iron. As Hogan’s first “game improvement” offering, the original Edge uniquely blended feel and forgiveness. The new Edge seeks to do the same.

Forged, with ample perimeter weighting, the Hogan company says the new Edge irons are uniquely capable of providing feel and better performance on mis-hits, importing the same perimeter-weighted design as the original Edge irons.

Edge irons are forged in two pieces. The hosel and back frame are forged first, then the forged face is laser-welded into place.

The precise, hollow head construction also allows the company to control (and vary) face thickness. Longer irons have a very thin, yet strong, engineered for distance. The mid and short irons incorporate a progressively thicker face design

Edge irons feature a modified version of the company’s V-Sole Technology. It’s the same design principles but redesigned for a wider variety of golfers. The leading edge from sole to face has been ‘softened’ with more bounce has been added to the trailing edge.

Ben Hogan Edge Irons can be customized at no charge. Golfers can select specific lengths, lies, and grips as well as their choice of a variety of steel and graphite shafts.

The Ben Hogan Edge Irons are available for demo or purchase at www.BenHoganGolf.com exclusively. Edge Irons are sold direct-to-consumers for $735.00 per seven-piece set (4-iron through pitching wedge).

    I thought Callaway owned the Edge trademark.

    Strange…. all the OEM club makers are introducing hollow back flex face irons at the same time. Makes ya wonder if they are colluding with the Russians… 😮

    I still have a set of the original Edge irons from 1991. Lovely-looking things and played very well with the Hogan Apex shafts. These do not look to be worthy of the Hogan name.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
  • JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
  • jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
    Mizuno MP-32
    Mizuno MP-33 (2 sets)
    Bridgestone J33cb – still own
    Srixon i-302 (2 sets) – still own
