About this product
This is a single Ben Hogan Apex II 1-iron, right-handed, with a steel shaft and carbon steel head. The 1-iron is notoriously difficult to hit due to its low loft and minimal forgiveness. This club is aimed at experienced golfers who want a traditional long iron for low-trajectory shots or as a collector's item. Made in the USA, it represents an iconic piece of golf history.
Our take
Let me be honest: the 1-iron is a club for masochists or purists. This Hogan Apex II is beautifully forged from carbon steel, but unless you have a swing speed north of 100 mph and perfect contact, you'll struggle to get it airborne. I bought it more as a conversation piece than a gamer. The steel shaft feels solid, but the head is tiny. For $50, it's a cool addition to any Hogan collection, but don't expect it to replace your hybrid.
