3/16/2024 0 Comments Ben hogan apex bladesNow for the negatives: I don't care for the grips at all. I believe these irons will produce results that I have come to expect with a Ben Hogan iron. (Go figure since I removed a couple degrees or more of bounce by bending the lofts stronger). I like the bounce of the irons and found myself not taking as big of a divot as I do with my '99 Apex irons. The shot trajectory was a bit better with the Icons. The loss of distance on shots not struck in the sweet spot is pretty much the same as my '99 Apex. I could feel shots on the toe side and recognize where I had struck the shot. The feel of the irons are just as solid in iron shots struck center to slightly hosel side of center and the lower 1/3 of the face. I can see a period of getting used to the new lofts. The 5 iron is close to my '99 Apex 4 iron but longer than the 5 iron. That could be a result of being pumped up hitting the 4 iron shots during the round. The distances of the 4 iron (at 22 degrees) matches or might just exceed my 3 iron ('99 Apex- 21 degree loft). I sacrifice a little bounce to do so but not much. My '99 Apex from 6 iron through wedge is bent to the same lofts as the icons. The shot was well struck and the feel and trajectory was terrific. First iron shot today was a 5 iron layup in the first hole. I put my new Icon irons in the bag today for my round at my home course.
