First of all, the terms blade and muscle back refer to the same type of club. This type of club has very little forgiveness on off-center hits. Cavity backs are far more forgiving on off-center hits. As to the second part of this thread, I noticed on the titleist blog that
DL III had switched back to his blades/muscle backs from the AP 2's. He may have switched just for the Open.

in the bag:
driver-titleist D2 10.5* w/aldila nv shaft
3-adams speedline fast 10 w/aldila shaft
hybrid-titleist 585 17* w/aldila shaft
irons-titleist 735cm w/ttdg s-300 shafts

wedges-cleveland 588, 53* and 60* w/ttdg shafts

putter-scotty circa 62 #1, gun metal finish

ball-pro v1

I don't think he ever switched to the AP2s.

I got a chance yesterday at the Open to look in the bag of Anthony Kim. I can confirm firsthand that up through 3-iron is a blade, the 2-iron is a cavity back, and all the clubs say AK on them. He has either a hybrid or small-headed wood, but the tag indicating the number wasn't on the cover.

No way that Tiger uses the same clubs as them IMO. His blades aren't Nike anyway, they just the stamp on them.

I think we all know tiger uses

these
