Plays similar to the X14 Pro which is arguably one of the greatest GI irons ever made. These BH-5s have a thinner top line and look like players clubs at address but are super forgiving and the Apex shaft is a dream.

This set is better than I thought. Of course there is a big difference between non-offset irons compared to offset irons. This particular set it non-offset. The offset irons are more forgiving. For example, you don't have to swing the club as fast; club head speed is what makes the ball travel its correct distance. The club should be swung faster not harder. The offset clubs are designed to reduce slices. The non-offset clubs are better suited for low handicap players. Ben Hogan was the best golfer of all-time in my humble opinion. When Ben Hogan decided to get into the golf club business his expectations were extremely high. He was a perfectionist. The first batch of clubs that were ready for shipping was destroyed by Hogan himself, because they did not meet his specifications. His business partners were not happy with his decision because it cost the Hogan company $100.000 to remake the clubs to his desire. That's perfection. That's the Hogan brand. That was Ben Hogan.Read full review
Obviously, the Hogan name connotes thoughts of quality and craftsmanship. This club is no exception. I purchased the NON-offset version and couldn't be happier. Great feel, feedback and control- just what the majority of us need,..right?? I hit these equally as far as my former irons, but, again the feel is much better. These possess an enormous sweetspot and when you hit it pure the ball seems to really take off. I think these are discontinued so you may want to act quickly.
i simply love this set of ben hogan irons, they have siginicantly improved my game. the reason i bought these irons is i always wanted a set of the forged irons, i had always herd people on the golf course talk about how nice the forged irons hit and how forgiveing the irons were. the other reason i bought the clubs were because my first set was a set hogan hd-40's and have loved an wanted another set of hogans since, so therfore if you want a great hitting club which not only looks good and feels good then these clubs would make a great addition to any style of golfer. thanks and have a nice day and go buy a set of ben hogan bh-5 irons and see fo yourself.
The clubs are very easy to hit because of the perimeter weighting. They are from a highly recognized club manufacturer in the golfing industry, the Ben Hogan co. The quality for the price was one of the main determing factors in purchasing these irons. After adjusting to the feel of the graphite shafts because I had been using steel shaft for quite a while, I am striking the ball more solidly than ever with these new irons.
