Forgan clubs any good? | Golf Monthly

Forgan were one of those companies many years ago like slasenger that used to have a good, or at least reasonable name for themselves. However, as others have stated they've gone very downmarket.

However, & here's a prediction for you all I think that Forgan are going to try to re-attain their status of yesteryear. The eagle-eyed amoungst you wont have failed to miss the fact that Ian Woosnam has gone from wearing Hippo hats to wearing Forgan. Now, many will say, well hippo equipment isn't up to much & generally I'd tend to agree with you & perhaps there are two things going on here, one, Woosie is trying to distance himself from a brand name no-one is going to take seriously even though ther have been one or two good things to come out of the workshop & second, Forgan keen to remind golfers they are in the marketplace & their StAndrews heritage will have made a good move in signing up Woosie.

Unfortunatly, having looked at the website I'm really less than impressed by their range, looking at those pics. they are clearly looking to corner the senior golfer market, but they really need a proper players set of irons to interest anyone but those on a very low budfget indeed or senior golfers on a similar budget. The irony is I've seen better looking irons in the hippo & even howsen range, under the same banner.

As for would I recommend them, although I've not tried any, I'd say save your money, buy either second hand or look for deals on previous years equipment from more currently recognised brands, as there are plenty of good deals to be had, any more advice you'd like feel free to ask anyone here.

Though I shall be watching what Forgan do in the future with interest to see if they can get their act together & pull off the very difficult juggling act to get themselves back into the marketplace where they clearly want to be. As their website seems to promise quite a lot, claiming quality... well that is yet to be proven
