This rare putter is similar to earlier Macgregor"Spur" models famously used by Hogan and others but quite rare.especially in this condition. The AP photo above clearly shows Venturi using this long hosel Hogan model during the Open. Venturi was able to hold on to defeat the heat and Tommy Jacobs by four shots to win the Open.

For the next few months the driving range will be my best friend, but these clubs are very promising.VINTAGE/ PRE OWNED BEN HOGAN SPEED SLOT 030 1 FAIRWAY WOOD ~ AS IS CONDITION S HAFT- BEN HOGAN LEGEND STEEL WITH SHAFT BAND MEASURES APPROX 43" length. These irons are not for the once-or-twice-per-month-golfer who doesn't like to practice. One thing I don't like about these irons is just cosmetically: The red paint of the clubs number crakcs quite quick and falls of. The short irons fly high and really bite into the greens, in fact it what the first time that I saw one of my balls rolling backwards on the green. Even with my quite slow swing speed I get approx. On the other hand you get an unbelievable feel when you hit the ball correctly. The steel shafts don't dampen a lof of vibration so these hits go straight into the arm. I recommend you stay away from these driving range boxes with these green, grasslike floor (sorry, don't know the correct English expression for it), especially if you tend to hit the ball fat - touching the ground behind the ball. cutting the ball with the lower edge) can causes real pain in your hands/wrist/arm. learn to swing correctly or forget it: Mis-hits (e.g. But they are "player improvement" irons - i.e. Mis-hits will result in a minor or major loss of distance, and they are definitely not classic "game improvement" irons. The feel is great - you quickly learn where you've hit the ball just by the feel of the impact. They feel very balance, even the iron 3 seems "playable" to me. You take the club and it just "fits" in your hands. The v-shaped shaft/grip is great for setting the hands.
Now owning it for about a month and having having played it for a couple of times I can say following about this set: I talked the shop manager down to Euro 400 - approx 380 US-Dollars - and took the set home.
I took a seperate iron 5 for testing on the range, hit about three dozen balls and I was sold.
All of them great clubs, but quite expensive over here (All you American golfers should be aware that you're quite lucky, for the prices for clubs in the US are about 30 - 50 % lower than here in Central Europe!).ĭue to lucky circumstances I learned that a a local pro shop they had a last set of Apex Plus at a discount price for Euro 500, for they had been played on the range once (approx. I had narrowed it down to Mizuno MP-30, the Cleveland TA-3 and the Apex Edge Pro. I tested a lot of clubs over some months and the bottom line was that first of all I wanted a solid head and not a channeled construction like the Mizuno MX-20 or the Hogan Apex Edge). 70 - 75 mph with I 7 I fould it hard to control my previous irons (Mizuno T-3 Ti-insert with Accel-Arc reg-flex shafts) and my pro told me to go for steel.
