This club is a work of art. It is far better than the taylor made rescue range, as it has more workability than the taylor made range. It has a much more traditional feel to it, in that its a lot easier to draw, fade or hit a straight shot with this. The only drawback I can say about this club is that the longer the hybrid you choose, the harder they are to use, but thats obvious for all clubs, but in this range, its more pronounced, in that the 1 hybrid is a driving iron, and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are playing off single digits, as its a very hard club to use.

Just remember, try to play it more off your front foot, and it works like a charm, don’t swing it like an iron.

The forgiveness in the 3H 4H and 5H hybrids are fantastic, and well worth trying out. I found they are great from all types of lies, and especially in putting spin on the ball as opposed to most other types of hybrids.

The shaft is pretty good too, but if you can afford it, I would recommend using this with a grafalloy shaft, but that might get expensive. Its very easy to chip shots with the 5h aswell, from rough lies.

I can honestly say I’ve never used a club before that I had very little to complain about, but this would defintely rate as among one of them. But with the hogan range of clubs, sometimes you can get a real winner or a hard club to use, but in this case, the 3,4 and 5 are definately worth taking a look at.
I found the stiff shafts too stiff for me, as they are a little more whippier than the taylor made range of stock shafts. But having said that, I prefer the regular flex of the shafts.

If you want to know, Ben Hogan hybrid shafts come in the following range:
Apex 4 - Stiff
Apex 3 - Regular
Apex 2 - Seniors

The new range of Hogan clubs come with a small dot on the base of the head, this is supposed to mean that the club has been ‘perfectly’ balanced, though I think this is just a silly gimick, as I’ve tried both with and without, and they feel exactly the same. It might actually just be a way to try and prevent fakes, but whose to say.
