Ben Hogan Hogan Hawk Golf Balls - Reviews

On 2005-06-29, BigDawg rated this Ben Hogan Hogan Hawk a 4...(5776)



Purchase: I purchased these balls at Pro Golf for $24.99. I decided to give this ball a try based on the reviews I read in this forum. I play the Pro V1 as my regular ball but I play a lot of desert courses and wanted a medium priced ball to play practice rounds with.
Pros: The ball definitely has a high ball flight and it goes straigt. The day I tested the ball I was playing a fairly narrow course on a breezy day (18 mph wind). The ball held it's line about as good as could be expected even with its higher trajectory. It is also a fairly durable ball. Playing a desert course this ball hits some rocks and had to played off of gravel and dirt at times and it held up through 18 holes.
Cons: The lack of ball spin is an issue. But this is coming from someone that is used to a premium ball and a ball that checks on pitches and chip shots. I also noticed a couple times with mid to long irons that the ball hit the green but bounced into a back bunker. In other words it didn't hold, but again it was a windy day.
Quality: This ball is pretty durable. It made it though 18 holes but probably not much more. It is firm but not hard and gives off more of a click sound of wedges and putter.

Review Summary: Bottom line is that I felt this ball held it line well, it has a high trajectory flight to it and flies about as straight as you can ask a ball to go. Distance off the driver was very good almost Pro V1 category. If you are expecting this ball to check up like a premium ball then this is probably not your ball but it doesn't run when it hits the green. Very good all-around ball. I prefer a little softer ball but this ball can play with the best of them.
