About the Ben Hogan M50-01
The M50-01 is the forged players-distance entry in Ben Hogan Golf's 2025 lineup, announced 14 January 2025 at the PGA Show alongside the Fort Worth MB, Fort Worth CB and Legend. It is a one-piece 1020C carbon steel forging with a CNC-milled face, a compact head and a thin topline, carrying the V-SOLE sole design. Lofts run about two degrees stronger than a traditional set (21-degree 4-iron through 44-degree pitching wedge), and Hogan extends the stock set down to a 48-degree gap wedge. GolfReviewsGuide positions it explicitly as Hogan's player's-distance model - aimed at elite and low-handicap golfers wanting forged feel and workability with a bit more forgiveness and carry than the Fort Worth MB/CB blades or cavity backs, comparable to the earlier PTx Tour. It is offered in 5-PW (6 clubs), 4-PW (7 clubs), 5-GW (7 clubs) or 4-GW (8 clubs), hand-built to order in the USA. Ben Hogan's own spec chart for this model does not publish a length column (unlike the Legend, Fort Worth MB and Fort Worth CB charts released the same day); the lengths below are carried over from that identical 39.00in-35.75in ladder used across Hogan's current lineup, with the gap wedge extrapolated a further quarter inch short of the pitching wedge, so confidence on the length column specifically is lower than on the loft, lie and offset figures Hogan does publish.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Ben Hogan M50-01 7-iron?
The Ben Hogan M50-01 7-iron has a loft of 31 degrees and a lie of 62 degrees. Ben Hogan does not publish a length figure for the M50-01; the 37.00-inch length recorded here is carried over from the identical length ladder used on the Legend, Fort Worth MB and Fort Worth CB launched alongside it, so treat it as slightly less certain than the loft and lie.
Is the Ben Hogan M50-01 a game-improvement iron?
No - Ben Hogan and reviewers place it in the player's-distance category, aimed at elite and low-handicap golfers who want forged feel and workability with some extra forgiveness and carry, not maximum forgiveness.
What clubs come in a stock Ben Hogan M50-01 set?
It is offered as 5-PW (6 clubs), 4-PW (7 clubs), 5-GW (7 clubs) or 4-GW (8 clubs), hand-built to order in the USA, priced from $799.99 for the 6-piece set up to $899.99 (7-piece 4-PW) and beyond depending on set size and shaft.
When was the Ben Hogan M50-01 released?
It was announced 14 January 2025 at the PGA Show in Orlando, alongside the Legend, Fort Worth MB and Fort Worth CB.
Where it sits in the lineup
Introduced in 2025, the Ben Hogan M50-01 is a current players distance set in the Ben Hogan range, with no replacement announced. New sets are built to the standard lofts, lies and lengths in the chart above, though a fitting can move any of them — so confirm the numbers on the order sheet. Used sets appear on eBay, 2nd Swing and Golf Avenue, and should be measured against this chart before buying.
- Ben Hogan Golf official M50-01 Irons product page, benhogangolf.com (retrieved August 2026) - SPECIFICATIONS table (Club/Lie/Loft/Offset-mm/Trailing Bounce) for 4 through GW: lie 60.5-63.75deg, loft 21-48deg, offset 4-3mm, trailing bounce 0.5-4deg; confirms 1020C one-piece forged CNC construction, V-SOLE, stock shaft list (Dynamic Gold 105 R300/S300/X100, KBS Tour Lite 95g/100g/105g, UST Recoil 760/780) and set configurations 5-PW/4-PW/5-GW/4-GW; the UK mirror at benhogangolf.co.uk/m50-01-irons/ reproduces the same loft/lie/offset/bounce table for 4-PW
- Ben Hogan's M50-01 spec table has no Length column, unlike the Legend, Fort Worth MB and Fort Worth CB tables published the same launch cycle (all three of which independently give an identical 39.00in-35.75in, 4-through-PW length ladder). The length values here are that same company-wide ladder, carried over on the strength of it matching across three sibling 2025 models, with the GW length extrapolated a further 0.25in short of the PW (35.50in) following the standard 0.25in per-club step. This is an inference from Hogan's own consistent length pattern, not a Hogan-published M50-01 figure, so it should be treated as less certain than the loft/lie/offset/bounce numbers, which come directly off Hogan's own chart
- Offset values converted from the millimeters on Hogan's table to inches (mm / 25.4) to match this database's unit convention, e.g. 4mm = 0.157in, 3mm = 0.118in
- golfreviewsguide.com, 'Ben Hogan M50-01 Irons (New 2025 Model Reviewed)' (published 27 March 2025, golfreviewsguide.com) - explicitly calls the M50-01 Hogan's 'player's distance category' iron for elite/low-handicap golfers wanting feel, workability and some forgiveness, comparable to the 2024 PTx Tour; states lofts run about 2 degrees stronger than traditional through the set, and gives pricing of $799.99 (6-piece, 5-PW) and $899.99 (7-piece, 4-PW)
- The First Call, 'Ben Hogan: Launching new equipment range at PGA Show', 14 January 2025 - confirms the joint announcement date and booth (#2301), and describes the M50-01 as a 'forged CNC players distance iron offering incredible feel with increased power'
- Only trailing bounce is published for this model (no leading-bounce column, unlike the Fort Worth MB/CB chart), and swing weight is not published; both are omitted from the spec rows accordingly
