Hogan Apex '99 Review

Accuracy
More; pinpoint accuracy - heavy head that flushes through rough and nips off of tight fairways equally as effective. Haven't made this many birdies in a long time.

Distance
Long; big jump from my Ping i3's. 3 iron is a solid 220 yards, relieving need for utility club on high end.



Trajectory
Average; workable. Easy to get up, but able to hit boring shots into the wind as well. I bought the models with the 6.5 Rifle shafts. I had Apex 4 shaft on my 1991 BH Grinds and loved them - these are even better!

Feel
More; You know when you nail it - you also know when you tank it! If you need feel and response from your hits and mishits to validate your existance (like I do) then these are the weapons of choice.

Forgiveness
Less; basically none, which I like. Spalding did move some of the weight around internally, I am told, but there is no cavity weighting here. Not a club for the higher handicapper.

Looks
Beautiful. These clubs to me are art. The traditional lines and the scalloped backs are fabulous. I keep iron head covers on mine (Club Glove makes a great set) because I want to keep these as beautiful as they are for a long time.

Summary
If you are a low handicap golfer or a regularly playing mid handicapper, get these clubs NOW. My belief is blades will make you a better golfer much faster than cavity backs. If you want to improve, buy these or like irons and see your pro for some lessons. It will be the best money you ever spend on the game (and by the way, I am not a pro)!
