On 2009-10-20, THROWADART rated this Ben Hogan CFT Ti Hybrids a 5...(8573)
Details: ADILA GRAPHITE STIFF SHAFT 0-4 HYBRIDS.LOFTS- 14,17,19,21,24, TITANIUM FORGED FACE.
Purchase: OFF THE INTERNET FROM TGW/GOLFSMITH $59.00 EACH. HAD BEEN SWINGING TAYLOR MADE RAYLORS
7 + 9 WOOD WITH 44'' GRAPHITE AND LONGER GRIPS TO ADJUST DISTANCE [THE FIRST GREAT UTLITY WOODS I FEEL]. IN MY BAG STEADY FROM 1995-2009 ALONG WITH A 14 DEGREE 1 IRON KNOCKOFF. AT $59.00 I FIGURED WHY NOT?
THE SHAFT COSTS MORE BY ITSELF. SO.. I BIT
Pros: ABSOLUTELY A GREAT SET. THE PERFECT TRANSITION FROM MY HOGAN BLADES. I 1st BOUGHT THE 2. IT GOES AROUND 200 FOR ME AND ALLOWS ME TO HIT HIGH, LOW, STRAIGHT OR FADE. IF I COULD HIT A COTROLLED DRAW I'M SURE IT WOULD DO IT BUT THAT'S ME,NOT THE STICK. SO SATISFIED I TRIED BUYING EVERY LOFT [THE 5 WAS SOLD OUT IN GRAPHITE]. ON 2 SHOT PAR 5s THE 0 IS MY GO TO CLUB 230-250 YARDS. I USED TO HIT DRIVER-DRIVER. THE DISTANCE GAP BETWEEN STICKS IS PERFECT FOR ME. WITH MY HOGAN BLADES AND CARNOUSTIES IN THE BAG PLUS MY DRIVER + PUTTER I COME OUT WITH 17 CLUBS.
ON CASUAL ROUNDS THAT'S MY BAG. TOURNAMENTS MAKE ME PICK AND CHOOSE BUT IT'S NEVER A PROBLEM. WHATEVER I DON'T HIT WELL WARMING UP GOES BACK TO THE CAR. FEEL AND CONTROL ARE FANTASTIC. AND OUT OF SAND FROM A DISTANT FAIRWAY BUNKER I WILL NEVER HIT ANYTHING ELSE AGAIN. IF IT'S A LOW LIP I CAN EVEN HIT THE 0 [14 DEGREES]. I KNOW FOR A FACT I'D NEVER TRY THAT WITH MY 1 IRON. THE ARE HEAVIER THAN A LOT OF THE OTHER HYBRIDS AVAILABLE AND THAT'S JUST FINE WITH ME. MY DRIVER HAS A SUPERLIGHT SHAFT. AND IT'S THE ONLY CLUB I HIT ON THE WAY UP WITH THE CLUB HEAD. I LIKE IT THAT WAY. EVERYTHING ELSE EXCEPT FOR FLOP SHOTS
MY SWING STAYS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. NEVER HAVE I DONE THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH A SET OF CLUBS. WHEN YOU HIT IT ON THE SCREWS THE FORGED INSERT HAS THAT BLADE FEEL TO IT. BONUS POINTS FOR THAT!! I DON'T GET MUCH OF A RUN-OUT WITH ANY OF THESE CLUBS EXCEPT THE '0'. AT FIRST I THOUGHT ABOUT THE LOST DISTANCE.. AFTER A SHORT WHILE I REALIZED YOU REALLY CAN'T CONTROL HOW MUCH A LONG SHOT RUNS. IT'S UP TO COURSE CONDITIONS. AND SINCE THESE GO THE LENGTH OF A WOOD AND STOP LIKE AN IRON I HAVE A REPEATABLE LENGTH WITH EACH LOFT. AND IT'S VERY CLOSE IF I STRIKE THE BALL WELL. MISS HITS GIVE UP DISTANCE BUT NOT DIRECTION .
MORE BONUS POINTS !! MY OLD 7+9 RAYLORS COULD PRODUCE SOME WILD STUFF ON A MIS-HIT.
FOR ME, THIS IS THE PERFECT SET. LAST YEAR I WAS A BOGEY PLAYER WITH HIGH EIGHTIES BEING A GOOD SCORE. AFTER SWITCHING TO HOGAN EQUIPMENT I STUMBLED ONTO HOGAN'S BOOK FIVE LESSONS WAITING FOR A FLIGHT. ON THE PLANE I READ ALL 126 PAGES... TWICE. READ THIS BOOK NO MATTER WHAT. NOW WITHIN ONE SEASON AT 51 YEARS OLD
I'M PLAYING MY BEST GOLF EVER.I DROPPED 6-7
STROKES.. IN ONE SEASON. I'M EVEN STARTING TO THINK IF I CAN MINIMIZE MY MISTAKES THE 70s ARE A POSSIBILITY ONCE IN A WHILE. AND LASTLY, THE SOUND.. WHEN STRUCK WELL EVERY HOGAN CLUB HAS THAT 'CLICK' TO IT. BUT ONLY WHEN STRUCK WELL. TALK ABOUT A YARDSTICK TO MEASURE YOUR PROGRESS! MY TUESDAY FOURSOME WILL BEAR WITNESS [AND HAVE]. IT IS SUCH A DISTINCT SOUND THAT ALL IN THE GROUP KNOWS IF I JUST GOT AWAY WITH ONE OR HIT IT PURE. BONUS POINTS!!!!!
Cons: CALLAWAY REALLY SCREWED THE POOCH STOPPING THE PRODUCTION OF HOGAN EQUIPMENT. THEY MADE MY EQUIPMENT [2006]. THAT PROVES TO ME THEY KNOW HOW. DID THEY THINK THE HOGAN FAITHFULL WOULD SWTCH OVER? TO WHAT? X-22?
HARDLY... KNOW THEY OFFER FORGED BUT IT'S DIFFERENT. TRIED EM, NICE STUFF. BUT NO THANKS. AS FOR THEIR OVER SIZED,BIG OFFSET
CAST CAVITY'S? NEVER. I TAKE A LITTLE SWEET REVENGE WHEN I HAVE A $5 NASSAU WITH A GUY OF EQUAL OR BETTER HANDICAP AND HE HAS THOSE CAL-CLUNKERS. I CARRY HOGAN'S BOOK IN MY BAG AND WHEN THERE'S A LONG WAIT
OR THE DREADED 5 HOUR ROUND I FLIP THROUGH IT. THE REACTIONS ARE A KICK[TRYIT].IF ''MR
OFFSET'' HAPPENS TO MAKE THE 'ONLY 10 OR LESS HANDICAPS SHOULD USE BLADES' COMMENT
I OPEN THE BOOK.. 100-102. 'SORRY BUDDY,BUT YOUR SUCKED IN BY A MARKETING STRATEGY. IV'E BEEN PLAYING BLADES MOST OF MY LIFE. YOUR OFFSETS MASK A SWING FLAW THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. AS HE IS LOOKING AT THE DIAGRAMS ON THE PAGE I EXPLAIN BEN HOGAN'S VIEW ON SUPINATION AND HOW CONTACT THROUGH THE HITTING ZONE IS CORRECTLY DONE. [ABOUT 2 MINUTES] AFTER THAT 9/10 THE NEXT IRON SHOT FROM HIM IS A HOOK OR SNAP-HOOK.... IS THAT WRONG???
Quality: JUST LIKE THE ADD SAYS. THE BEST
Review Summary: TO BAD I DIDN'T READ HOGAN'S BOOK 20 YEARS
AGO.
