well after a few years of trying a bunch of players irons, I made the jump to blades today
I wasnt really going to do it, but said the h*ll w it - gotta try em out sometime

I couldnt pass the deal up either, hense why the purchase
I picked up some Tour Issued Cleveland CG1 Black Pearls w Flighted RIFLE 6.0's for $270 shipped to me
bought them from a former Cleveland Staff player (now playing for Adams)
these were built for him, straight from Cleveland and have very little use on them (pics were mint)

they ship tomorow and i cant wait!!!!!
i hit the OTR ones today (6i) and was flushing every shot
my ball striking has improved night and day recently (from my lesson) so it was time!!!!
so anyone looking for a sweet set of Bridgestone J36 CB's, PM me!

call me crazy!! hahha!

(PS - thank DELAV for convincing me...u basterd...... hahah!)

When I was a 30 handicap, I enjoyed shaping shots too. Primarily because I had no choice... :)

Nice! I just had a guy fit me using a CG1 tour 7-iron. He bent it 4 degrees upright and put a Project X 7.0 in it. After 20 balls I was contemplating selling my Nike Blades...but I didn't.
I love those Cleveland blades! Have to be top 2 or 3 I've ever hit. Congrats man. Post pics soon!

I've always played blades since I was a kid. I have tried cast, but I feel they "allow" me to get lazy. When practicing, blades don't let you get away with anything. I feel the help me with in the end.

I don't claim to be able to shape shots, cause I can't.........

Currently hitting AP2, but I still have my 49 year old Staffs. I know exactly where the ball stuck the face on every shot.

Those are the sticks that I want the Itomics for.

Now, make sure to spend some valuable time with your new ones. Step one is getting the lofts and lies checked / adjusted. Step 2 is spending enough time at the range that you can leave mechanics there - just see the shot and do it. Being in control of your shot is the number one reason to play those babies - pleasing aesthetics is number 2 or 3. The training wheels are off now - good luck is no longer necessary - it's all up to you.

    • Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target. 
    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
    • Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.
