Thanks, Barbara Wright Barbara,Ĭongratulations for getting through the health problems and even more so getting back into the game. Please advise as I am anxious to place an order and get started. When I played my last game, my handicap was 12 and I was hitting it long and straight with a titanium driver (which now matches my hip), 4,5,7,and 9 graphite metal-woods and graphite irons. I am in my early 70s and I am anxious to get back to the game and need new equipment. I have a new hip and two 'stents' in my aorta. Check my website for some options to look for.ĭue to a series of health problems, it has now been five years since I last played golf. However, don't expect a significant difference in performance, as the technology in irons has not changed much, other than clubs have become a little more forgiving and are thus a little easier to hit. If you are happy with your present set of irons, then stay with them but it doesn't hurt to look around anyway. Of greatest importance is that you feel comfortable with your irons and this will develop confidence. See and search under Maltby Playability Factor. About 300 irons are listed on my site in different playability factors categories with suggested use by skill levels. Yes, the technology has changed for the better in irons and they come in a range of playability factors. If you hit your irons well then don't expect magic from a new set. It is a blade style and less forgiving than the GCD model. If the red line is under the word 'Ben' and the word 'forged' under 'Hogan,' then it was introduced in 1978. This is a good iron and more forgiving than some of the other models that Hogan has produced. The company may have started the introduction in 1995. If this is a semi cavity back iron and the red line is under the words 'Hogan' and 'forged,' it is the Edge GCD Tour model introduced in 1996 model. Has there been much change over the years in blade irons? Would there be any advantage to looking into a new set of Apex clubs? - Thanks, Dennis Sobolewski Monrovia, CA I hit them really well even though they are a small blade.
I recently purchased a set of 1995 Hogan Apex blades with the red line and the word 'forged' under the Ben Hogan.
