Technology:
Hogan have released their PTx Tour ultimate combo set of irons with a choice of 4-Pw or 5-Pw. The 4-5 irons have a four-piece construction design with the body and face being forged from a 1025 carbon steel. The foam inside the head helps enhance perimeter weighting and gives the iron a soft solid feel at impact. It also has tungsten weighting to move the weight lower to help increase launch angles and distance.
The PTx 6-iron has a three-piece construction and is precession tuned, designed to bridge between the longer irons and the scoring irons.
P
Tx Tour 7-8 irons also use a three-piece construction and have a lower, more consistent trajectory to help with scoring. Sitting between the 1025 forged carbon steel body and face lies a co-forged titanium insert which enhances forgiveness, this time moving weight higher to prevent ballooning.
The 9-PW are a one-piece iron, forged from the same 1025 carbon steel to help deliver shot-making performance and control.
All PTx Tour Irons feature the V-Sole design and utilise a high-bounce leading edge and a soft lower-bounce trailing edge. This design gives the clubhead better turf interaction, helping it move cleanly even through the longest rough.
The irons are designed with 4° loft gapping from 4-iron (21.5°) to pitching wedge (45.5°). The tour-approved lofts are ideal for most golfers, but the lofts can be customised up to 2° stronger, lie angles (+/- 2 degrees) and lengths (+/- 2 inches) as can the shafts and grips.
Conclusion:
Like all the other equipment in this issue, the Hogan PTx Tour irons were tested over five different courses on Gran Canaria and I have to say I loved every minutes of playing them.
From the moment you pull these Hogan irons out of the box you will fall in love with their looks, but there is so much more to them than those wonderful looks.
That soft feel off the face and solid strike, along with the ball flight and forgiveness, and the turf interaction from the V-Sole make this a fantastic iron to play right through the bag from the 4-iron to the pitching wedge.
The even better news with the Hogan PTx Tour irons is the price and when you put them up against the other players’ irons on the market, there really is no comparison.
