On 2006-05-20, Lefty rated this Ben Hogan BH-5 a 5...(6939)
Details: Left handed and number 3 shaft
Purchase: Purchased at a local retailer who was liquidating, and I paid $220.00 after tax.
Pros: If you visit the Hogan website you cannot find these clubs listed in their arsenal anymore. Too bad! This model is a gem in the rough (no pun...). So much so, that I parked my Taylor Made 320's in favor of the BH-5's.
The shaft flex is what amazed me the most. I previously used stiff Dynamic Gold shafts in my 320's and I gave a great deal of thought to replacing the Hogan regular shafts with the same stiff gold’s. My pro said try the regulars and see how they feel. I could not believe my eyes. I could now feel the clubhead all the way through the swing. I suddenly found pinpoint accuracy, 5 to 10 yards in distance, and I can move the ball in either direction at will. These clubs are very impressively built and exude confidence in every shot situation. Buy them if you can find them!
Cons: Simply put, nothing! Ok, I dislike that Hogan has decided to pull this model. Big mistake!
Quality: Hogan quality through and through. Review Summary: An excellent club for a wide spectrum of players. Again, buy them if you see them!

Purchase: I purchased these irons after demoing these clubs at me local Pro-Shop for $425.
Pros: The irons are very nice both cosmetically and functionally. They are rather easy to hit straight and get the ball in the air quickly.
They are definately not the best clubs out there, but for the price they are a good value.
Cons: My biggest complaint about these clubs is that they don't offer alot of feedback. It's difficult to feel the difference between a mis-hit and hitting the sweet-spot.
Also, the face of the clubs seem to scratch easily. My 7 iron is already marked up after only 1 month.
Quality: The quality is good, they seem to scratch easily (see above). They have nice grips and True Temper Shafts. Review Summary: I demo'ed these against Nike Sling Shots and Callaway X-16. While I liked the Slingshots the best, the price of the BH-5's were more appealing to my budget.
