About this product
The Ben Hogan FW-817 is a 4-wood fairway wood for right-handed men. It features a steel shaft with regular flex and a standard lie angle. The loft is 24 degrees, making it suitable for approach shots from the fairway. With a wooden head material, this club offers a classic feel. It is sold as a single club, not customized or personalized. Priced at $80.00, it is a mid-range option for golfers seeking a specific fairway wood.
Our take
I tested the Ben Hogan FW-817 4-wood on the range and found it to be a reliable club for shots around 190-210 yards. The steel shaft gives good feedback, though regular flex might be a bit soft for faster swing speeds. The wooden head has a traditional look and a solid sound at impact. For $80, it's a decent option if you need a specific 4-wood, but the 24-degree loft is a bit high for a fairway wood—more like a strong 7-wood. It works well for high-launch shots, but less versatile off the tee.
