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

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.

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

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

      That answers my question.  That feels more natural to me. I'll work on that. Thanks

      Complex question. Good players begin pushing forward around P2. Visibly around P3. They're well on their way forward at P4.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      Still plugging away with the teacher.  I do have a question after working on some drills last night. This is something I should know already but for some reason, I have gotten myself confused. It deals with weight transfer on the downswing. At what point, should that take place?  Should it be early (prior to reaching A4) ?  I ask because in one of my drills  I get to A4, I feel the weight transfer AS my arms drop, and then go.  Now this may be totally normal, but I "feel" like this gets me in a weird timing position and causes me to try and do too much at once.

      Tentatively in for at least one of those days. My job situation is a bit up in the air at the moment so need to get that sorted out first then I'll know more for sure or not.
