“Ft. Worth Hi - a higher-launching, more forgiving version of the Ft. Worth for mid-handicaps. Rung-1.”
Launched in 2016 as part of the relaunched Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company's 'Ft. Worth' family, the Hi was the forgiving, high-launch counterpart to the traditional Ft. Worth 15 muscle-back and the mid-forgiveness Ft. Worth PTx cavity-back released the same year — Hogan's attempt to cover the full player spectrum in one launch. Forged from 1025 carbon steel, the head is roughly 15% larger than the Ft. Worth 15 and uses two-piece hollow-body construction to push mass low and deep, functioning explicitly as long-iron/hybrid replacements: it was offered across 11 lofts from 20-31 degrees, with Hogan recommending golfers pick three (from the 20-23, 24-27, and 28-31 degree bands) to stand in for 3-, 4-, and 5-irons.
It carries real trade-press attention — GOLF's ClubTest 2016, MyGolfSpy, GolfWRX, and Golflink all covered the Ft. Worth Hi launch and reviewed it — as part of Hogan's high-profile brand relaunch, but the coverage centers on the company's comeback story and the traditional Ft. Worth 15 blade, not on the Hi specifically generating independent cult demand of its own; it functioned as a purpose-built long-iron utility piece rather than an object of desire.
Fits better players and low-to-mid handicappers who like Hogan's traditional Ft. Worth 15 blade look in the scoring irons but need help launching long irons — buy 2-3 lofts to fill the 3-5 iron gap, not a full set. Not a fit for a high handicapper wanting a complete forgiving set (Hogan's own PTx cavity-back served that golfer in 2016) or for a player who wants one consistent iron look top to bottom.
Released alongside the Ft. Worth 15 (blade) and PTx (cavity-back) as Ben Hogan Golf's three-tier 2016 relaunch lineup, competing with other single-length/utility-iron concepts like Cobra's King F6 One Length and traditional driving irons from Titleist and Mizuno. A modern equivalent would be a dedicated driving iron/utility iron such as a Titleist U-505 or Mizuno CLK.
Hollow two-piece construction and a larger, deeper head than the Ft. Worth 15 give this genuine game-improvement-level forgiveness for a long-iron replacement — mass sits low and rearward, helping mis-hits launch and hold distance in a way a solid long-iron blade never could. It is not a full short-iron GI set; the forgiveness is concentrated in the long-iron/utility lofts (20-31 degrees) it was designed to cover.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
As individual utility-iron pieces rather than full sets, used Ft. Worth Hi clubs are a thin secondary market; 2nd Swing lists them as single irons rather than complete sets, and comparable Ben Hogan Ft. Worth-family irons (e.g., the Ft. Worth CB) sell used for roughly $400-$600 per set, implying single Hi units likely trade in the $40-$80 range each in 2026 — no complete confirmed sold-price range found in this pass.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
