golfnut Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Great review Ari. I agree and disagree. I agree that Air Muscle is more of driving iron and has much lower trajectory. I agree that both TM Mid Rescue and Hogan CFT Hybrid are stupid easy to hit. However, I disagree that except for price that Hogan is more forgiving. After extensive hitting of Mid Recue in regular and TP versions of 14, 16, 19 , and 22 in Fujikura Vista Pro 90, stock stiff graphite, and steel vs Hogan CFT Hybrid #3 and #4 in stiff #4 flex, I've concluded that TM has tighter dispersion and better distance. It also sound a lot more solid and looks a little bigger and more confidence inspiring at address. Hogan by comparison looks wierd at address and has tinny/tingy sound when hitting. Hogan CFT Hybrid might improve if you put in X100 or PX5.5 shaft but even so I believe Mid Rescue has better dispersion and distance. So, I stuck TM in my bag even thought it's more expensive. I plan to put Harrison 1.8 Pro (1.8 degree torque shaft) that has PGA tour wins in my Mid Rescue TP to replace Fujikura Vista Pro 90(2.5 degree torque). It's also 10 grams lighter at 80 grams.

dorkman53 Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 What size shaft comes in the steel hogan hybrids ? Taper or Parallel ? .355" taper tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjl Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I was not planning on buying a new club but at $74.99 for a club with a "Speed Slot" how could I say no??? Â :lol: Where did you get the Hogan Hybrid for $75? The best I could do was $95 new retail. As for the Hogan Hybrid, i've played the original Rescue, the Rescue Mid, and the original FliHi, and this blows them all away. Finally, no HOOK BIAS! the ball goes straight. great looking at address. This club is staying in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjl Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 thanks. no offense, but those on-line retailers that ask you to 'Call' for every price are annoying. just tell me the friggin price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primo Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 thanks. Â no offense, but those on-line retailers that ask you to 'Call' for every price are annoying. Â just tell me the friggin price. Anytime they offer a price lower than the suggested price, they can't publish a price on the web. They will most likely lose their reseller agreement with the manufacturer. They ask you to call because if someone else saw they advertised price they would call and complain to Hogan/Callaway and all hell would break lose. Believe me the last thing they want to do is take phone calls in the store to answer questions from the internet. This equates to more time, time = money. Much easier to just take orders over the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaster Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I have heard that the Hogans don't hold greens that well as they have a Ti face...is this correct? I hope not as I am liking the sound of the "No Draw Bias" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not as I am liking the sound of the "No Draw Bias" :lol: I play most of my golf on very hard seaside greens and I have no problem holding them with the Hogans. I have had them in the bag for a little while now and I love them as much as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryMB Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 dorkman53, how would you compare the 2-EZ's to the Nak R series hybrids? JerryMB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkman53 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 The stock Nakashima shafts were OK, but I want a little more control so I'm in the process of getting them reshafted with the Apache MFS 75 shafts. The main advantage of the Nakashima in my opinion is the very convex sole. This allows greater ease with bad lies vs. the flatter sole with the Precept 2-EZ's. Both are excellent clubs. I'm also getting one Hogan 24 degree to throw into the mix before I make my final decisions on hybrids (Taylormade Rescue Mids, Precept 2-EZ, Nakashima hybrids, and the Hogan hybrid.) I'll be able to say more in 10-14 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryMB Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 dorkman53, sounds like your becoming a fan of the MFS 75, i have the 65P in a 420 Nak driver, JerryMB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkman53 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 The MFS 75 works great in my Nakashima 420 driver. Especially with it cut to 44", I have more control with it, and I'm finding the fairways a higher percentage of the time without loss of distance. I think that with better control I'm hitting the sweet spot (which is large anyway with the Nakashima) more frequently, which more than outweighs any small detrimental effect on distance due to the shorter shaft.
