Ben Hogan Big Ben C455 Fairway Wood Golf Club

I have the Ben Hogan Big Ben Fairway Woods #3-13 Strong, #3-15, #5-19, and #7-21. I love the #7 which goes 190-210 for me. With the Adila NV graphite shafts which sold for $90.00 by themselves, these woods were a good deal.

These woods have been discontinued by Callaway. Top Flite had these in the pipeline before Callaway purchased Ben Hogan. So, they released the C455 Woods and the Ben Hogan Big Ben Driver in 2004 and before the end of the year, they began to discount them. Now, you can't get any of the Ben Hogan Woods, nor Driver from the golf shops. Good thing we can these these C455's on eBay for a reasonable price.

I just purchased the C455 Strong 3-13 degree 3 Wood for hitting off the tee on shorter courses where I don't use my Driver. These woods are just as good as any other woods on the market.

Too bad Callaway has shuffled Ben Hogan. In 2006, they discontinued publishing the big Ben Hogan Catalogue, only to distribute the pocket size catalogue. When I complainted to Callaway and told them that I've been requesting the "big" catalogue for years...they send me a "Ben Hogan, The Man Behind the Mystic" coffee book to aplease me.

So, if you can still get Ben Hogan equipment on eBay, go for it.
