Hogan Irons Serial Numbers
Download ===> https://urluss.com/2t2Xuk
You might want to check this link for a possible reading of the serial numbers: -Irons/hogan/producer-75.htmBasically, you can never know for sure unless you get the actual serial number decoder for your year, but some clubs fall into the description at that link ( first position = month of year, e.g., A= January, next position is last digit of the year, e.g., 5=85' and positions 3 and or 4 are the model number, and position 5 is swing weight, etc.). The legend is believed to have changed somewhat over the years, but I haven't found anyone who knows for sure how.
So here's a question. I saved these bad boys from a tragic trip to the dump if you can believe it. I have some Hogan Slazenger Directors. I can't find much on them, other than they were possibly made in England?The 2-Equalizer have matching serial #'s: P33F6KNThe 1 iron is different: P43X6KICan you tell me anything about these irons? Like I say, can't find much on the Hogan Slazengers...

I'm REALLY curious as to when these irons were made though.
Hello all, I just picked up a 1974-79 director 1 iron from a second hand store for $10 (a little steep but it is in really nice shape and has new golf pride grip on it). What I can read of the serial number looks like M6203. Does that mean anything to anyone? Does anyone know what the specs for this club would be? I never see 1 irons listed. Comparing it to my other clubs I'd guess this one is about 40" with a lie less than 60degrees and a loft in the 15-17degree range. Thanks!
I don't think I have ever seen a Hogan iron from their plant without serial numbers. The short serial numbers was mist likely a custom set.When you see irons without serial numbers most likely were re shafted with correct ferrule
[quote name='teevons' timestamp='1407438772' post='9881093']When you see irons without serial numbers most likely were re shafted with correct ferrule[/quote]Thanks! I assume you meant "without the correct ferrule". I wondered if 2 irons and sand wedges, which could be considered"add ons" might not have a serial number. Assuming the original owner bought the 3-E first with Apex-4 shafts, you'd think they would later (or at the same time) buy the two iron with an Apex 4 shaft. It would be stupid to buy one with some other shaft and then pay to re-shaft it. Puzzling.
I am not a Hogan expert by any means. I do remember that my Dad's friend was a Hogan dealer back in the day. My dad would order equipment from him if one of his customers wanted it. I do know 1 irons and most sand and special wedges did not have a serial number unless they were specifically ordered with a set. I did have a Hogan PC 1 iron and I gave it to a young pro friend of mine who still hits a 1 iron. He had a Director that he has hit for years and it was getting worn out so I gave him the "circle PC" he hits it better than the Director. I also have quite a few Hogan wedges and none save the equalizer have serial numbers. I know the set the Equalizer came from my old man had them many moons ago but kept his black face MacGregor wedge from a previous set. I gamed that wedge for quite a few years in fact when I game those black faces that paticular Equalizer is in the bag
Stu, the set of '87 BH Apex PC's (1-SW) that I ordered from the factory came with serial numbers on the 1-9 irons. The Equalizer and Sand wedge did not have any numbers on the ferrules whatsoever which was surprising since they were ordered at the same time. I guess if I used the name Tom Kite or Lanny Wadkins things might have been done differently!

Hogan did not ever put a serial number on a wedge. Hogan company started in the 1950s when sets were sold as 2 thru 9 iron and you bought your wedges. Remember these are weak lofted irons compared to todays offerings. I have worn out two sets of Hogan PC's and two sets of Hogan Redlines. Just wore the chrome off the faces and the sole of the iron hitting balls. This was in my 20s and 30s. Hogan no 4 when it was the AMF Hogan company and earlier are just a step below DGX100s. Everything made after Spalding bought Hogan out, is more or less junk. The heads are still great though.

I have several Exploders with serial numbers along with the Precision E's that have serial numbers,I also have an Apex II with serial numbers and Redline E with with serial numbersI also have several Precision and Saber 1 irons that have serial numbers along with some Power Thrust and IPT 1 irons with serial numbersIt was standard practice from the 60's on not too have serial numbers on 1 iron and E and Sure outs etc, but there are some instances when they did put numbers on them. It might have been for special order sets to have serial numbers?

The E wedge ferrule in my set carries the same registration/serial number as the set's 3-9 irons.Shade
I picked up some sweet Ben Hogan irons today from Play It Again Sports. Apex Plus, 4-E with the apex 4 shafts for $117 including tax - $10 coupon = $107. They look like they may have been played for part of a season. I think it was a decent deal. At first hitting they feel comparable to my ZB's although the apex 4 shaft feels a tad softer than the DG S-300 in my ZB's and it looks like I'm getting a slightly higher ball flight.Now to my question....I'm fairly certain these are genuine clubs, but checking with any hogan iron afficianados. Where is the serial number on hogan irons? It appears there is a sort of clear shaft band directly below the bottom of the grip which has the following number "H-00093433". Is this the serial number? There is nothing on any of the hosels?? Also, is there any way to find out the year these were forged/sold? I'm trying to wade through the archives of the hogan site, */www.benhogan.combut it's been a slow process. Thanks in advance for any help in this department!I'm calling these my project irons. As the pics show they need some new paintfill and new grips. I strongly dislike the stock grips, but for $107 I felt I couldn't go wrong. I also plan on doing a little stamping.Serial number shaft band??Crappy stock grips
I found a complete set of these irons 2-W in a Habitat for Humanity thrift store's "junk club" barrel. They were 100% original(serial no.& Apex3 shaft labels intact) they also had the green and black original Hogan grips which were so dry rotted that they crumbled in my hands. The clubs were covered in crusty dust, but upon close examination they looked like most of them had NEVER been hit, and you had to look close to see the marks on the ones that had been. I cleaned them up and re-gripped them and they looked almost pristine. I took them to the range for a test. The results, a big WOW! I was going to sell these before I hit them, but now they are going in the bag. The kicker is I only paid $1 dollar a club for them. Best deal ever! 2b1af7f3a8
