Golf journalist James Mason from www.planetgolfreview.com planetgolfreview.co.uk and www.sportsjournalist.info reviews the new Ben Hogan PTx Tour Irons
Greetings from Washington DC James! Great to see you back. Another excellent review. Hearing great things about the Hogan PTx Tour. Next you should try the Equalizer II wedge, Texas grind. May be the best you can find off tight lies. Makes it easy. Hit ‘em well.
These are the Tour option, so it is aimed at the better player but with the weighting it does offer forgiveness as well as great feel. If you are looking for a bit more forgiveness then there is the Ben Hogan Edge Ex, but I haven't tested these as yet but they are aimed at the golfer who is looking for a bit more forgiveness, but still want a classic design
I play the PTx Pro since 5 years (after playing 12 years 50th golden anniversary irons). The difference is in the middle of the back. The bridge is longer on the tour model. So the difference is similar to: PTx Pro = channel back to the PTx Tour = Apex. The PTx Tour is may be a little more “solid” than the PTx Pro.

Strange you should say that David, I think I will be testing them for the Open Championship/July issue of PGR Magazine
Thank you for the review. For me the Hogan PTx are the best irons made.
They are certainly up there, I have loved every minute of playing with them so far
Great review mate they do look beautiful 👍⛳️
They really are stunning and great to play, I love the feel of the ball coming off the face
What they like forgiveness wise .. currently play Wilson d9 forged … not sure if these are a similar profile

@@planetgolfreview I did have the edge ex a when they 1st came out .. they were nice , but are a really big profile compared to to d9 forged ..
The black look so good too! I have the apex edge from 2002 so nice! Thanks
Yes the black finish does look really nice
James.. How does the PTx Tour differ fromthe PTx Pro irons which I have a set....
To be honest I haven't tested the PTx Pro irons, when I do I will let you know or look out for the review
