Iron Heads

Muscle Back Blades
If you want to hit the ball like Ben Hogan, you will choose a high center of gravity, muscle back iron model. The Hogan 40th Anniversary are highly sought after and usually bring over $600 on the used market. The high center of gravity makes the club a little more difficult to hit, but produces a lower, more boring trajectory. The low center of gravity muscle backs get the ball up a little quicker, still feel solid but don't have the "shotmaker's style of the higher COG models.

Over the years, muscle backs have been the "players' blade". In our own subjective testing under tournament conditions, we have come to favor the low center of gravity model.
