They are made by Callaway (Topflight too), and are similar to the Cally balls. I used to use Hogan Apex Tour, which were alot like ProVs. Nice balls, but not cheap.

I am not familiar with their current range. They normally do a premium ball, and a two piece ball.

Which model are you looking at?

Nice to use an unusual ball, as you have less chance of playing the wrong one.

I reckon the Cally/T-F corporation keep the Hogan brand on as a niche market.
Personaly, I don't like the look of the gear and wouldn't be tempted to spend this amount on the balls. I guess this is why you ask. I can only presume that IF they were actually a hidden gem, we'd know about it!!!

I have a Hogan apex sand iron (courtesy of GM for the first ever blog) and it is a great club. There irons are actually quite sexy and in the main for a better ball striker than me but I'm not sure whether there balls are that great. Like Dave said I think it is to keep the name out there and aimed as a niche ball

I've used some Hogan Tours in the past and they were ok - not quite as spinny as a prov but there or thereabouts. But they are expensive so I can't really see the point in them unless you get them cheap from JJb in their lake ball/reclaimed section.

Apart from a couple that i found have not realy used them.

If they are anything like the clubs then they will be top notch. I have Apex Plus irons and think they are excellent. The soft buttery feel you get from a well struck shot is great. Although they are stronger lofts than some other clubs i feel i can swing much easier and still get good distance but with added accuracy.
Can't wait for next year when i join a club and start to play more often to see how much they improve my game over the cavities i used to play.
