Ben Hogan '99 Apex irons

[RobotDoctor]

I definitely believe this iron is one of the finest blades designed and is still very playable.  These are also Endo forgings so the quality is certainly there.  Maybe I am biased because these are the irons I game.  Great feel, unbelievably forgiving (for blade), easy to hit.  I've owned many sets of irons (blades and cavity back, forged and investment cast) and these are simply the best irons I have ever gamed.  

The following is a link on the story of these irons.

These were a big deal when they first came out.   I remember ordering these at the 1999 PGA show- and selling them before I even got them stock. Came in a nice presentation box and really was a comeback for Hogan at the time.

I had a friend who gamed those back in 2000, but had rifle shafts put in vs. the apex stock shaft. Unfortunately, the rifles went slightly askew - literally, the shaft was beginning to go 1/2" out of straight on several irons, so he shipped them back.

Now, 16 years later, he's got another set - 99's - with the apex shaft and has fallen in love with them all over again. They kicked his previous gamers right out of the bag! He let me hit them a few times, and they are indeed like butter. Now I'm on the hunt for them.
