The two sets have no club label in common.

What the differences mean

The sets are built differently: the PTx runs 20-iron to 44-iron (7 clubs), the PTx Pro 4-iron to PW (7 clubs).

Both are players distance irons, built for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. Forged or multi-material heads that keep a compact look while adding face technology and stronger lofts for distance. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.

Both heads are listed as co-forged multi-material. Both use tungsten weighting to lower the centre of gravity and steady the head on off-centre strikes.

The PTx Pro arrived 3 years after the PTx, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept.

Which should you choose?

The PTx and PTx Pro share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.

Both charts are reproduced in full on their own pages: Ben Hogan PTx specs and Ben Hogan PTx Pro specs.
