Ben Hogan have changed the way we buy golf clubs – but how does it work?

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.

Ben Hogan review: VKTR hybrids 

Spec: 18° and 22°, UST recoil ES 75 F3/Reg

This hybrid has a very iron like shaping with the front being squared off, initially this shape didn’t suit eye.

However I found I struck these really well it was very easy to hit the middle of face.

Because of this my front to back dispersion excellent as was my accuracy which is key when firing into long par 4s and par 5s.

Ben Hogan review: PTx Pro irons 

Spec: 5-PW, KBS Tour 90-Reg, 2° flat, 0.5in shortened

The standout feature of these irons was the exceptional feel I had off the face giving me great feedback on strike quality and location.

I would say these had a premium on accuracy over distance and I felt I had so much control over my ball flight and shot shape.

Ben Hogan review: Equalizer wedges 

Spec: 50°, 54° and 58°, KBS Tour 90-Reg, 2° flat, 0.5inch shortened

Good control of flight and spin around the greens.

Ben Hogan review: BHB02 putter 

Spec: BHB02, 32.5 inches, Super Stroke Traxion Pistol GT 1.0

Personally I thought the black finish on this putter looks great behind the ball. The simple shape and styling also really suited my eye.

I would say the sound off the face was slightly higher than I am used to but the roll of the ball was really impressive. I liked the weight distribution I could feel more weight in the head which helped me control my stroke.

Ben Hogan review: NCG verdict

Overall I really enjoyed testing these clubs. Across the set I felt there was a premium on feel, excellent dispersion, and accuracy.

You can see just how accurate I was throughout the set from the Trackman dispersion data below with the worst shot finishing 18 yards offline.

For me, the unique method of ordering new clubs is a plus point. It allows the consumer to get high-quality golf clubs at a lower price point, which can only be a good thing.
