I frequently find wooden drivers at goodwill. I usually keep on win the bag. Occasionally people try hitting it and after a few swings it breaks. No big loss tho usually $1.99

The insert is not laminate, prolly a synthetic ceramic which was popular back then..

if you look at the heel of the club face outside the insert, you can very clearly see the laminated layers of the wooden clubhead.

The fact of the matter is that if you hit those clubs on the sweet spot, which with those Hogan Irons will be about the size of a nickel, you will see very little difference in carry distances with today's balls after adjusting for the stronger loft of today's Irons

Were you to tee up a somehow perfectly preserved Hogan Apex Tour Balata or a Titleast Pro-trajectory Balata golf ball from the 80s you would find a very different experience entirely. You would find that your ball tends to upshootinto balloon trajectories and right and left curvature would be far more dramatic than todays balls will produce from those same impacts.

As pros from those days will tell you it was almost impossible to hit a straight ball with the best balls at that time.

I got a set of Hogan Producers for Christmas when I was 15. Had those clubs for 20 years. Had Legend 4 shafts. They were incredible. Wish I still had them. Gave them to my nephew (we're both lefties) and the little bastard sold 'em to help pay for a newer set of Hogan Apex.

I did that with some Wilson Staffs. They were beautiful. It was a golf disaster.
