yeah it's a rather nice blend. Truth be told, I wasn't really expecting that.

Per the article and speaking with them the last few months it was very much on their minds during design.

One interesting note is that I am hearing early reports that these sold really really well on day 1. So using THP as a general gauge of interest continues haha.
That is what I like about these irons at first glance. They don't have crazy offset, and huge cavities. They have a thin top line and look like a players iron but have the technology to be forgiving.

I dont as I tend to shy away from raw number materials. I will say that they are monitoring inventory closely, and did well with the PTx in that regards, which this is replacing. There are not many of those PTx sets left, so they hit the mark there.

I really wish they had more shaft offerings on their site. My buddy has the PTX which I love the look of but they might be a tad small for my game right now. When I read that these were slightly bigger I got really excited. I think this is the perfect iron for my game right now, but the shaft options are so dang spare. I would want a C Taper 95 or a C Taper lite.
If anybody got on the website and looked at the specs, they are wrong. I noticed that the specs for the PTx and the PTX Pro were the same so I called. They said that they were overlooked and corrections will be made.
I REALLY like these. I just wish Ben Hogan offered Nippon shafts.

They missed an opportunity not to prerelease these to the well known reviewers to build buzz at launch. They launched the irons with a big splash and then....silence??

I’m in the minority. I like the looks of the PTx better. I’m not exactly sure what it is but the Pros are a miss for me.

You will see a lot coming from THP on this.
We have been at the forefront of early Hogan players' releases for a while and being in TX next week, I would expect some fun announcements coming.

I have some demo's coming in tomorrow. Forecasting for rain though. A few years ago it was nip and tuck for me between the PTx and the CF16. We'll see if anything changes.
Would love to see some comparison pics to your CF16's if you get a chance to take some.
Saw this on Ben Hogan Golf's Instagram. Thought I'd share it in case you guys didn't get a chance to see it.

Is it me or are they deviating fairly heavily with the shaping of this new release? The toe area is quite different from the other setups. Not saying that is good or bad, just a bit different from their identity....?

In hand its really not. There are some subtle differences, as you would expect when you have a muscle back, game improvement and players iron in a lineup, but this one sets up pretty traditional.

Stay tuned next week, specifically Tuesday as we will have a lot of things going on including some video content with Hogan and UST Mamiya that people should enjoy
