Hi all.  Looking to purchase some irons for my 16 year old son.  He has hit the RocketBladez and really liked them.  The pro has stated that there's not a ton of difference between last years' Ballz and this year's Bladez but we have not been able to hit the Ballz version yet.  I can get the RBZ (last year's) for about $550 and the price I can get for the new model Bladez is $725.

We have read some comparison's and reviews but wondered if anyone here had any thoughts.  He's a high handicapper so a club like this is ideal from what I'm told.  I just wonder if it's justified to spend almost $200 more.

Thanks for any insight

The Bladez have a thinner top line than the RBZ.  You might also consider the Mizuno JPX-825's.  I hit both the Bladez, 912 AP1, and JPX-825's and went with the Mizuno's based on feel and Trackman numbers.  The Mizuno's are $100 less than the Bladez.

if you want blades or tour irons, try the mizuno mp's or titleist ap2

He's looking for irons for his 16 year old son who is a high handicapper. I don't think he wants tour irons. I would hold off on purchasing the RocketBladez until your son gets a chance to hit one, or at least address a ball with one. I have hit them both recently (RBZ vs RocketBladez) and I certainly felt more comfortable over the RBZ irons. As mentioned above, the RocketBladez have a much slimmer top line, and the RocketBladez Tour irons even more so.

Thanks for the responses.  We went out and hit both RBZ and Bladez and didn't notice much distance.  he liked the RBZ just as much as already excited about the extra distance either of these gives compared to his previous set.  Looked at - but did not hit - the Mizuno 825 as mentioned earlier but I would not get the best price on those as I would on the TMs.

Given that I could get the RBZ for $549 and the Bladez were going to be $725 we went with the RBZ.  Hoping to pick them up tonight.

Now, here in Southern Ontario we just need Spring to actually arrive!

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
