Ben Hogan PTx irons signal the return of the brand to the big time with a unique combo set launched for 2024. How do the new blades rate?

A long time coming, but Ben Hogan irons are back with a unique design in the PTx blades model, which is sold as a combo set despite being a single design.

That’s because Ben Hogan’s designers have integrated four distinct forged constructions from four-piece in the long irons to single piece in the pitching wedge to maximize performance through the bag.

The unique design of the PTx mean they combine distance, accuracy, control, aesthetics and feedback, but more significantly with the transitional weighting through the bag and impressive levels of forgiveness.

Ben Hogan PTx Tour Irons Specs & Design

Ben Hogan PTx Tour irons brings a new design to the table to perfect the transition from loft to loft with a progressive weighting structure.

The long irons (4-iron to 5-iron) have a four-piece construction, crafted from 1025 carbon steel for an unmatched feel and consistency with foam filling for perimeter weighting and a solid sensation upon impact.

Tungsten weights are incorporated into the 4 and 5 irons to aid with forgiveness and achieve lower weight distribution, for a higher ball flight and maximum distances.

The 6 iron in the PTxs have a three-piece construction – losing the additional tungsten weighting. They are perfectly designed to bridge between the gap between long irons and the mid-and short irons in the range.

The mid irons (7-iron and 8-iron) also have a three-piece construction but have a co-forged titanium insert that not only increases forgiveness but also strategically places weight to prevent a ballooning trajectory ballooning.

The more controlled flight path of the mid irons then transition into the short irons (9-iron and Pitching Wedge), which have just a one-piece forged 1025 carbon steel construction.

The so-called scoring irons are designed for unparalleled shot-making control, offering a level of forgiveness that you might not expected from bladed irons.

The PTx Tour irons feature V-SOLE technology, which combines a high-bounce leading edge and a softer, lower-bounce trailing edge for better turf interaction through the toughest roughs and dense turf.

The lofts are 4-iron (21.5 degrees), 5-iron (25.5 degrees), 6-iron (29.5 degrees), 7-iron (33.5 degrees), 8-iron (37.5 degrees), 9-iron (41.5 degrees) and Pitching Wedge (45.5 degrees).
