My Irons: A Quick Question

[Dent]

I was on the range the other day, And I was thinking about the technology of all the current game improvement irons. And While I was looking at the topline and the view of the club, I was wondering. "My Clubs are 5 years old, and basically game improvement, but 5 years ago..are these almost blades?" I know by the view they are obviously cavity backs, but the way They hit and the way some of the points of the club look something almost tells me Im playing blades. Here are some pictures Ive posted of my 8 Iron, do you think they almost look like blades? I kind of feel stupid for asking this, And i'll know the answer already, but I just want to see what others think.

BTW: These are Ram Laser Irons. Sorry for the img quality, i couldnt find my camera so I used my video camera.

the differences I see are that blades will have a thinner sole, a thinner top line, minimal offset, and a shorter head. so in comparison to yours, i dont think they look like blades, but your irons dont look like super game improvement, they just look like regular cavitybacks.

Thanks, thats also what I forgot to put in my original post. I wanted to know what kind of irons they really were. Thanks for the clarification.

I guess they just feel like blades compared to newer technology clubs these days.

yeah... those look like they have a pretty heafty offset and a medium topline. I would call them GI irons... similar to my old TA-5's. The sole is another indicator of a players iron, and those have a fairly wide sole... but not a SGI sole like say a Nike Slingshot or some such club..

Although they are GI clubs, I know for a fact they dont hit like them, and dont feel like them.

It seems 5 years ago they had no technology, because I get little forgivness and Lots of workability.
