Ben Hogan launches game improvenemnt Edge EX irons

After the successful recent releases of the Icon blade iron and the larger GS53 Max driver, Ben Hogan Golf is again turning its attention to golfers looking for extra forgiveness with the release of the new Edge EX game improvement iron set.

The 2021 Edge EX is the newest iron to carry on the Edge name which was introduced in 1989 with the first forged cavity back from the Texas-based company. The new Edge EX’s are designed to be easy to hit while still maintaining the traditional look golfers have come to expect from Ben Hogan.

A big push for the direct-to-consumer equipment company is to show golfers that Ben Hogan equipment is made for every golfer and not just lower handicap competitive players, which was a conclusion made from a consumer survey conducted by the company.

“Some golfers who play the game just for fun felt that our products weren’t for them. We continue to try to educate golfers that forged clubs are not reserved for only the best players in the world. In fact, quite the contrary. Edge EX irons will offer average golfers the playability, forgiveness, and feel that Ben Hogan once described as ‘… that blissful feeling that goes from your hands, up your arms, and into your heart.” -Scott White, President and CEO of Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company.

Technology

The Edge EX irons offer a deep undercut cavity and extreme perimeter weighting to increase launch and raise MOI. Along with the overall design, the actual iron head has been increased to create a larger effective hitting area to maximize forgiveness.

“We tested these irons more than any other product we’ve brought to market in recent years and golfer response and feedback has been exceptionally good throughout the development process. Golfers of all ability levels, but especially those with double-digit handicaps told us that Edge EX irons were some of the easiest-to-hit irons they’ve ever played.” -Scott White

Price, specs, and availability

The new Ben Hogan Edge EX irons are available now for pre-order with products scheduled to ship in late April.

The Edge EX irons will be separated by consistent 4-degree gaps, and start at a 44-degree pitching wedge and going to a 20-degree 4-iron.

Seven-piece (4-PW) sets will be priced at $800.00 with a choice of premium steel and graphite shaft options.

Six and five-piece sets with also be available for $720 for 5-PW and $630 for 6-PW for golfers that would like to build a combo set with either the Ben Hogan UiHI utility or VKTR hybrids — priced individually.

Edge EX irons are available for purchase exclusively at www.BenHoganGolf.com.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

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.

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.”
