About the Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro
The Apex Edge Pro was the players model of the Spalding-era Apex Edge line — a compact forged cavity-back with minimal offset that became one of the best-loved late Fort Worth Hogan irons and stayed in tour bags for years after production ended. Its spec page was live on benhogan.com by April 2002, alongside the more offset game-improvement Apex Edge announced that January. Lofts are the traditional Hogan ladder — a 34-degree 7-iron and 46-degree Equalizer pitching wedge — with lies half a degree flatter per club than the Apex Edge, and the range ran from a 16-degree 1-iron to a 60-degree lob wedge with Hogan Apex steel shafts as stock. Hogan's letter wedges are recorded here as PW (Equalizer, 46°), GW (F wedge, 50°), SW (56°) and LW (60°). Production wound down after Callaway acquired the Hogan brand in 2003; the multi-material Apex FTX of 2004 took its slot in the Callaway-era line.

What is the difference between the Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro and Apex Edge?
Both share the traditional 16-to-60-degree Hogan loft ladder, but the Edge Pro is the compact players model with minimal offset and lies half a degree flatter per club, while the Apex Edge is the larger game-improvement version with much more offset.
When did the Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro come out?
Its specification page was live on benhogan.com by April 2002, and spec databases file it as a 2002 model; it reached wider distribution in 2003, the year Callaway acquired the Hogan brand.
Are the Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro irons forged?
Yes — they are forged carbon-steel cavity-backs from the Fort Worth era, prized for their feel, and they remained in professionals' bags for years after production ended.
Finding a used set
The Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro ran from 2002 to 2004 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
- Ben Hogan official Apex Edge Pro spec table image, benhogan.com/imgs/irons/edgepro_spec_table.gif (archive.org capture of the irons_apexedgepro_specs.html page, first archived 10 April 2002) — full 1-iron-to-LW table of lie, loft, steel and graphite length (graphite +0.5 inch); unlike the Apex Edge chart, no offset or bounce column is printed, so those keys are omitted
- golfclubspec.com iron_results.php?id=86 'Apex Edge Pro' (2002) and equip2golf.com Hogan Apex Edge Pro specifications page (2002 model year) — both independently match every loft, lie and length above, including the 34-degree 7-iron and the 64-degree lie across the wedges
- year_introduced 2002 rests on the April 2002 archive capture of the manufacturer spec page and both spec databases filing it as a 2002 model; some retail and UK review coverage (golfmagic.com, 2003) dates the model 2003, which is when it reached wider distribution
- year_discontinued 2004 on the successor convention: Callaway acquired the Hogan brand in the 2003 Top-Flite purchase and its 2004 Hogan line led with the Apex FTX (pitchmarks.com Hogan Apex timeline); Apex Edge Pro sets continued to be played on tour well after
- Stock shaft: period listings and reviews consistently show Hogan's own Apex flighted steel shafts (Apex 3/4/5 stiffness numbering); graphite builds added half an inch per the factory chart
