With Thanks to all the contributions on this forum that help me learn more about all things golf, here's a collection of Hogan irons history that I've put together from 'round the web. Hopefully a similar Mizuno collection will soon follow. (note - the text is a straight copy, none of it is from me also, a part 2 follows that contains loft-lie specs of older irons - thanks to the contributors who saved it from archives) enjoy Attachments:

I found the last chart quite interesting. Why do the lofts get closer together as the irons get longer? I never understood that.

I found the last chart quite interesting. Why do the lofts get closer together as the irons get longer? I never understood that. Couple guesses: 1. As the loft gets lower, the length of the club has more to do with distance than the loft. OR/AND 2. As the lofts get lower, the trajectory is lower, therefore more expected roll out after landing. |

I just checked out both pdf documents. Wow, they were done real well. Much thanks to nosten for this.
Quick question .....
Were all of the Hogan blades before the Redlines V-grooves, and after the Redlines U-grooves? I did see a picture of the Redlines with a V on the back, so I guess there were both V-groove and U-groove models for that one. Not that it makes much difference, the Hogan irons bite pretty hard even with V-grooves and them being decades old.
