“Golf equipment has gotten too expensive,” says the Ben Hogan website, “and the process of buying it is far too complicated.” It concludes with a confident: “We’re changing that.”
Founded by the golf legend in 1953, the same year he won the last three of his nine majors, the company that bears his name changed the way they sell golf clubs in 2017. In order to cut out the middle man and avoid the consumer paying middlemen or retail markups, you can order your clubs through their website and they will custom build them in their Texas factory then deliver them straight to your door.
So we thought we’d give it a go and ordered a full set of custom-built clubs online for our Ben Hogan review. The process was really easy simply pick out what model and shafts you want as well as extra details such as lie angle, club length, and grip size.

Ben Hogan review: GS53 driver
Spec: 10.5°, Hzrdus Smoke Black 5.5 (60g)
I found the driver really easy to hit and was generating a very consistent high ball flight.
I would say my distance was slightly reduced but I think this was down to the stiffer shaft.
But overall I was impressed with the controlled ball flight and shape of the shots I was hitting.
Ben Hogan review: GS53 3-wood
Spec: 14°, Hzrdus Smoke Black 5.5 (60g)
This was one of my favourite clubs in the set, I have quite a shallow angle of attack so often find 3-woods hard to flight but this really easy to launch and I was getting consistent very straight ball flights.
