Anyone got any mail on where these are available in Oz, if at all?

A while ago on their site they stated "At this time we are not accepting international orders". I presume that is still the case. However they will eventually make their way here. It's just a case of how long.

Was going to post this in the eBay bargain thread.

It's just a case of how long. Doubt it, they are a niche brand, australia is never going to be buying enough of this for anyone to want to stock them . The australian distributor for the previous brand names of the company dropped the ball, and charged ridiculous prices.

They are available for order outside of the US according to their FAQ page. Plus I saw a thread on GOLFWRX where an Aussie member there had an order on its way...

[Jazz18]

Thanks KJ. Have made an enquiry with them about a couple of things. Not sure if I do want to buy a set with JDM stuff going around in my head but they do look nice and I've for a bit of a soft spot for my Ben Hogan blades. They're currently in the bag actually. Wondered how much they were as well and the website answered that question for me. $149US per club is not bad for fully built irons.

Wow! Are they nice or what?

I'm kinda in love.

They are nice because they are Hogan's but I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to Hogan's. Original paint fill and ferrules etc etc are a must for me.

Anyone know of any stockists or agents here in Australia for Hogan Ft Worth?
The wedges have me slightly interested.

[Jazz18]

I sent an email to them back when I started this thread and they said they were working on a supplier here in Australia. They did say that we could order from them and have them sent to Oz (As KJ mentioned earlier in the thread). He said not to use their website for ordering but if you contact them direct, they could help you out. And DIBS if you get something and want to pass it on. I Loooooooove Ben Hogan gear.

Cheers Chappy.
I'm more interested in finding out if there's an Australian based distributor and only after a couple of wedges at this stage.

Nice Dazza ,Apex Pros?

A guy at my club bought a set of the blades and had them shipped via a forwarder.

Beautiful irons but he was very unhappy that the lofts and lies on every club weren't even close to spec for clubs that expensive when their website talks about precision and quality.

He had them measured and adjusted at Pureform so it was done using top quality equipment.

Yeah mate. Apex Edge Pro's 2002. Most beautiful irons I've clapped my eyes on.
They play well too. Nice and forgiving for this chopper :)

Got the full set 3-E & SW. Coupled with Edge CFT hybrids and a Big Ben CS3 Driver.
Keeping my eyes out for an "F" wedge.

Thats hilarious.
I have called out them for BS from the start. Surely they only make 7 iron heads (4-P) with +/- 2 degrees of loft (like every other manufacturer) and then check/sort/bend a few and stamp a number on it. Way to costly to manufacture each head singly.
Seems they dont even check them :)

Disappointing to hear. Will have to do more research before wading into this pond.

Yeah, he was pretty pi$$ed off that after buying supposedly premium clubs that he had to spend more money to have them checked and adjusted.

I asked how he found out and it was only after a few rounds when he couldn't figure out why two consecutive irons (6 and 7 for example) went almost the same distance that he had them checked.

Easy answer, they were both the same loft and the other irons were all over the shop.

Wow. You would hope that your mate was just really really unlucky but it's hard to imagine how that could be the case. Does he like them now that they are the right specs?

Despite the issues he's still using them and has said they are great clubs with a really soft feel. His previous irons were the forged RSi so I'm not sure that's a fair comparison.
