I purchased the club only for certain holes on the course I regularly play. After playing with it I found that it not only replaces my 5 iron but my 4 iron as well. Grip down a bit and you have a 6 iron. For those who work the ball you might find it difficult as the flight is true. It’s hard to hook or slice which is great for me and my 12 handicap. The set up feels great, the club handles deep grass and rough very well. I’ve only hit it once out of the sand but I dug into it a little too hard so I can’t elaborate on fairway bunkers. The club will never leave my bag.

I have hit them several times and they are very sweet. He is a7 handicap, was a 13 before we bought them and he took a week or so to get the hang of them, but he is a good ball striker and he now absolutely loves them.

My son is getting good distance (170 yd. 7-iron, 180 yd+ 6-iron, etc) and great accuracy and workability from these. The irons have enabled him to fade, draw and generally shape shots with good precision.

I am a 18-ish handicap (mid 90’s) and, although I can hit the higher irons, these are for better players.

after verifying the Serial number with Callaway, I purchased these incredible clubs. Although my game is not the best and these clubs are really pro level and made for a more experienced golfer, I am enjoying them! Callaway products are by far the most quality engineered golf products in my opinion. I rank these irons 9.5/10 and once I master them, 10/10 is a sure bet!

I posted a review for these clubs under “single club” because I was searching for an ‘A’ wedge. Since most reviews here seem to be for ebay problems, I figured I’d include my full review for the Fusion iron set I bought a while back. I got the used clubs (BTW, genuine Callaways) at a very good price from a very good local golf company but have seen them at close to this price at auction on ebay.

I look for technology that can help improve my iron game regardless of cosmetics or workability.

I look for clubs that do what they 1) are suppose to do as advertised, 2) are a good value and 3) may have been overlooked in the overwhelming glare of the Big Company’s advertising.

The Callway Fusion Irons fit the first parameter and fit it better than any iron I have ever used.

Parameter 2? If you buy ‘em retail, they just simply cost way too much…and in my opinion, the cost has less to do with R&D, production and materials than with the high cost of marketing. The cost would be a dealbreaker if not for used club sales and ebay. I got my 3-PW set, practically mint, for $475 — essentially what you’d pay for a relatively good set of OTCTMT (Other-Than-Callaway/TaylorMade/Titleist) irons.

Parameter 3 didn’t figure in either…obviously, Callaway products cannot be considered overlooked.

I have been playing Wilson Deep Red II distance Irons. I would have happily still be playing them because they are simply the best Overlooked/Under marketed/Underpriced clubs ever made. My plan was to just keep playing them unless something came along that was a LOT better. I am a mid-handicapper (9.0 — 12.0 depending on how much I practice and how the short game’s going) and the Wilson’ simply allowed me to hit the ball with long, mid, and short irons straight and long — not bad qualities in an iron!. What they don’t do is spin the ball much or provide a lot of feel for touch shots. The Wilson’s have some distance gaps, but they are manageable. Also, the large head size can make some
lies a bit tough.

The Fusion irons, on the other hand, have none of the drawbacks. Cosmetically, they are nice albeit high-tech looking. At address they are more traditional looking with a topline much thinner than you may expect from Cally.

Thry’re accurate, as long as the Wilsons (7 iron= 160) and incredibly forgiving without sacrificing feel. There is adequate feedback to tell exactly where on the face the ball was struck, but mis-hits are handled nicely. There is very little loss of distance or line. You can hit them high, low, knock ‘em down and lean on them. Play a fade or draw, but don’t expect a lot of cut or hookage.

The long irons are easier to hit than the Wilsons — and that says a lot. NO club I’ve ever played had easier to hit long irons. The feel, distance and control are consistant throughout the set.

My shafts are uniflex steels, and your milage may vary — I’ve hit Fusions with S-300 shafts and they were a bit longer, but also a bit heavier.

The short irons and wedge are real confidence boosters, and it’s easy to pick a target and just go.

I’ve played (in addition to the Wilsons) Ping ISI and I-3+ Blades, Mizuno MP-32’s and have experienced various TaylorMade RAC configurations and must say that, for my game, the Fusions are by far the best fit.

Before purchasing one of them I tried side by side with my Cobra F/Speed. Well, I ended up not purchasing the new driver and kept my Cobra!! No kidding!

I have tried just about every driver made over the past two years. I buy and sell clubs all the time, and usually try them first. I purchased the Cobra F Speed for someone else, but tried it first. Let me tell you this, my friends tell me if I get rid of this driver I am completely nuts! I’ve never hit a better driver. It sounds greats, I’m able to control the ball flight easier than with any other club. All I can say is that Cobra has a new customer! Needless to say, my friend never got the driver, I kept it!

Both drivers have regular stock shafts. Loft of new driver is 11.5; old is 10.5. Gained net 10 to 15 yds. I am a 13 handicap with approximately 85 swing speed and play a tight mountain course with a 140 slope rating on front and 129 on back. Swing analysis at several golf shops indicated I needed higher launch angle. Also larger face has resulted in fewer off center poor drives.

I hadn’t touched a golf club in 24 years. Started playing again 1 month ago first 18 holes with starter set oversize driver 3 fairways of 18 and sliced up the course. Went to pracitce at the range and sliced badly at least 8 times out of every 10 hits. Bought this club on Ebay and hit 14 of 18 fairways today, and the 4 that were off the fairway weren’t that far off. All my shots went straighter and farther than I expected to hit, about 220 to 240 yards with a very nice launch angle. This club is very forgiving and worth every dollar I spent on it.

This club is a work of art. It is far better than the taylor made rescue range, as it has more workability than the taylor made range. It has a much more traditional feel to it, in that its a lot easier to draw, fade or hit a straight shot with this. The only drawback I can say about this club is that the longer the hybrid you choose, the harder they are to use, but thats obvious for all clubs, but in this range, its more pronounced, in that the 1 hybrid is a driving iron, and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are playing off single digits, as its a very hard club to use.

Just remember, try to play it more off your front foot, and it works like a charm, don’t swing it like an iron.

The forgiveness in the 3H 4H and 5H hybrids are fantastic, and well worth trying out. I found they are great from all types of lies, and especially in putting spin on the ball as opposed to most other types of hybrids.

The shaft is pretty good too, but if you can afford it, I would recommend using this with a grafalloy shaft, but that might get expensive. Its very easy to chip shots with the 5h aswell, from rough lies.

I can honestly say I’ve never used a club before that I had very little to complain about, but this would defintely rate as among one of them. But with the hogan range of clubs, sometimes you can get a real winner or a hard club to use, but in this case, the 3,4 and 5 are definately worth taking a look at.
I found the stiff shafts too stiff for me, as they are a little more whippier than the taylor made range of stock shafts. But having said that, I prefer the regular flex of the shafts.

If you want to know, Ben Hogan hybrid shafts come in the following range:
Apex 4 - Stiff
Apex 3 - Regular
Apex 2 - Seniors

The new range of Hogan clubs come with a small dot on the base of the head, this is supposed to mean that the club has been ‘perfectly’ balanced, though I think this is just a silly gimick, as I’ve tried both with and without, and they feel exactly the same. It might actually just be a way to try and prevent fakes, but whose to say.

I was in the market for a hybrid and golf magazine had a test done by 10 or 12 people of different handicaps. They all agreed the Ben Hogan was the best of the hybrids. So I got the Hogan club. I am very happy with this club. It is the sweetest club I have ever hit. Long, straight and miss hits or hits off the toe, hold the line and still go far. If your in the market for a Hybrid there is no way you can go wrong with the Ben Hogan club. What do I dislike about it, It made me go to e-bay and buy the 5 iron hybrid. It should be here tomorrow. I hope.

and this club gets the job done for 200-215 yds. I’m looking for a good 2 or 3 to replace my 7 wood, by the way.

Allow me to explain the beauty of the Hogan Hybrid. The feel is just like an iron - it’s SO easy to hit. I was in a bunker yesterday up against the edge of it (horrible, horrible lie) from about 220 yards out, I was about 20 - 25 yards behind the white marker diagonally. I was gonna just lay up but got to thinking… and I pulled this bad boy out. I set up kind of off - the ball was above my back foot a bit and I had to choke up slightly, but I took the shot. Well it cleared the bank of the bunker easy, and rolled right up to the fringe! You can hit these things out of bunkers!
