If you want to stick in the current golf industry, evolution is an absolute must, and though there were some bumpy waters initially with the reboot of Ben Hogan Golf, the past two years have shown them finding their stride. Not only that, they are doing it while continuing to be a direct to consumer company allowing them to cut the overheads other companies face, but it definitely helps to have the Ben Hogan name recognition to navigate those waters.

Even in its heyday, Hogan was never afraid to innovate and evolve their offerings in order to fit the needs of golfers and make the game more enjoyable. No such club design is more of an example of that then the hybrid. Though known historically as an iron company, people oft forget they have produced hybrids before this latest incarnation, in fact, the CFT still maintains cult-like followings in some circles.
More recently, the VKTR hybrid, which was introduced in January of 2016, has had a long and successful shelf life for Hogan, remarkably successful in fact. Fast forward to present day and Ben Hogan Golf is introducing the VKTR+.

So no, the name may not be the most groundbreaking, but when you have something that works then why not run with it? Hogan is actually calling the VKTR+ an “optimized” version of the original brought up to present day tech standards.

The look still features the high/square toe shape on the face which ideally helps the user swing it like and iron rather than a fairway. Likewise, Hogan has worked to optimize the face thickness both vertically and horizontally to offer forgiveness while also implementing bulge and roll which is usually reserved for fairways. The company is also touting this iteration as being based on clean lines, minimal offset, and a look that will inspire confidence behind the ball. The VKTR+ will come in three loft options, 18°, 22°, and 26° as well as a very palatable $140.00 price tag.

More info will be coming soon on THP, but until then, be sure to comment below and let us know exactly what you think of the new VKTR+.
These look amazing, and if they perform as well as the last ones.
That’s coming from a guy who was anti-hybrid before the Hogan Experience!
Ooh… don’t put information on unreleased clubs on their public web servers until it’s time to release it. Keep it on a non production webserver and push it to production when it’s ready. That will help keep the cat in the bag longer
But the club look pretty cool. I wonder if it would have a place in my bag and what it would replace.
I’m curious about this as well, to me it looks really close to the same size.
Tyler, I think you forgot a few letters in your response… didn’t you mean "JBuck31"???
What I keep thinking about it how good it looks. It’s a beautiful piece of equipment.
Is a picture of the headcover available or does it wear a mask like the rest of us.

Yep, I love the looks of these and I have 3 818 H2’s. I need to hit one all of these when I upgrade next.
You just made my day, my man. Thank you!
Love the looks of this I know this will match well with my Ptx pro/icon combo set.
I usually play 20 degree in my hybo but don’t mind the idea of 18. Should make good gapping for my set.
is there any chance different lifts will be coming?
For starters, they don’t whistle
For those who don’t understand, I was part of the original VKTR test group and some other tester’s said that the club whistled during their swing process. No specific tune,
just a whistle.!!!
I kinda like the whistle! Let’s me know the clubface is square!?
Maybe it’s my mind playing a trick on me, but I thought I heard a "faint" whistle?!
full control hybrid with decent distance, great forgiveness and you get some serious iron replacement here.
I have the 3 and the 5 here and both are just so good. Very small profile for a hybrid and as many companies have gone pure low spin distance this remains a great iron replacement.
i think I need this in 3 and 4
It’s darn solid and a good improvement over the original
