I never have been able to adjust and it's killed my short game. So now I've ordered a new SW. I'm reverting back to my youth when I was a Hogan guy. Hogan has been down since then but I think they've made a small comeback. I ordered one of the new Equalizer SWs with 56* loft. I can't wait to get it. I also sent them a message asking if I could order just the PW that comes with the set of ICON irons. Back in the day that was the original Equalizer. When I was young I could do a lot with my Equalizer. It was a great utility club. I never needed a third wedge. That just seemed silly to me. I tried the three wedge thing and just ended up with three wedges I couldn't use. Hopefully I can get the PW from the ICONs and it will be like the old Equalizer. Then maybe I can get my short game back. I loved those old Hogan Apex irons from back in the day. The persimmon headed woods were awesome too. And beautiful!

You should be able to get those old wedges regrooved faced and chromed be like new. And your right Hogan made some of the finest clubs out there that weren't custom. My old childhood friend's Dad played Hogan Apex irons and he sold me his old PGA Vip's. Dad reshafted them for me and played those thru HS. When game improvement clubs came out I bought a set of Hogan Magnums and played some of my best golf with those but didn't have the feel of blades. I got wild hair and bought Ping Eye II pre bans. Didn't play as well and the same no real feel at all. When Hogan introduced the Edge GS I was all over that and love them to this day. I have tried to replace but always go back. I really hope Hogan makes a serious comeback they were so good in the day.
