Ben Hogan Ft. Worth 15 irons
True to the Hogan legacy, the Ft. Worth 15 irons are forged from 1025-carbon steel for a smooth, precise feel. A scalloped rear in each head spreads mass toward the heel and toe to help off-center hits. The V-shaped sole, with a high-bounce leading edge and a low bounce toward the rear, is versatile from various lies. The irons are offered in 28 heads, in 1° increments from 20° to 47°, so players can customize their distance gapping. (Each head is stamped with loft, in degrees, rather than an iron number.) Forged TK 15 wedges come in 48° to 63° lofts. $150 each, steel; $165 each, graphite.
