my club had their demo day today the major reps there were titleist cobra callaway nike and mac gregor i have always been intregued by the sexy look of blades so i went to test them out i hit the callaway x forged nike cci forged and forged blades titleist zb forged and ap2 mac gregor blades and cobra pro cb when i took a swing with the mac gregor blades i was surprised to see the ball flying high and far of the club face and then i did it again and again it was truly amazing but then walking back to the bag i spoted the callaway x back prototype and quickly grabed it and it was the absoulute sweetest feeling club i have ever had the privelage of hitting but what truly surprising was the forgivness i was hitting 9/10 shots almost perfectly and the shots were rocketing of the face and that got me to thinking as i get older bigger stronger and better should i switch to a set of blade irons

it was extremely similar to the x forged maybe a tad bit smaller and a little less offset and the shaft was the project x 5.5

Hit 'em if you can.

I'll never be able to I suspect. I find impact marks all over the face of my irons way too often.

I have buddies that hit the same spot every time on their irons...I suspect they'd get a lot out of the blades.

There is no doubt they look tons better at address and simply overall than other irons.

Here is a question related to this sort of. I have a set of really old Ram Gene Littler blades. Would it be stupid of me to use something more than thirty years old even if they are blades?

I love my blades too but I think the X100's they came with are too stiff for me. Because I can't work them like I used to be able to work other clubs...My buddy said that is probably due to the shafts being too stiff for me. I tend to agree.

I am learning fast that iron shaft selection is almost if not more important then what iron you get...

my first full set of irons where a set of nicholas blades when i was 14! then got a set of cavity backs on the advice of a pro saying i needed the forgiveness of them and blades wernt helping me! I hated them from the start but kept them and battled on thinking i will learn to love them but after six months they were still not performing. i cam across a set of 690MB's for £300 and jumped at them they are the best feeling irons i have ever tryed and look so nice in the bag and at adress! oh and i droped 10 shots off my handicap in 6 months! BLADES ROCK!!!

IF I could hit the MP67's or 37's as well as the 60's, I'd be all over them! but I love me some MP60's. they're just an all around AWESOME club. Did I mention they're AWESOME?

That was the longest sentence i've ever seen

I also tried some blades, didn't really like the X-Forged though. Couldn't hit that club at all. But my hands were all sweaty as well and my hands were slipping. ABSOLUTLY LOVED THE S58's!!

I just bought a complete set of these clubs at a garage sale. I've played them twice and really like them. I seem to equal my best scores at the course I play most often. Do you still have/play these clubs? I realize that you posted your comment here many years ago but I just joined as a member here so I thought I would try to get in touch with you.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
