Switching back to blades...

[wkdspd]

There is a ton of discussion here about player's cavity's vs blades, with the majority of the tendency toward cavity backs for mid-cappers like myself with the biggest argument thrown around being that even many tour pros are using versions of cb's now. well, some very specific points were made by a couple folks here that made sense, and I started reading, and a lot of research points to blades being much more precise for someone who can somewhat regularly strike them well, and much more specific in the teaching process because of their undeniable tell of mishits.

Soooo...

I went back to my TM musclebacks a couple of weeks ago - pulled em out of the spare bag, re-gripped em, and started practicing. they tell me exactly where and how I hit the bacll, feel perfect when struck well, and best of all, go EXACTLY where I tell them to...

Saturday morning I played Woodbridge and struck some of the best iron shots Ive played in years, sticking 9 approach shots inside of 10 feet, and 3 inside of 6 inches - this included a 9 iron that was kept from a HIO by tapping the pin, and a hole-out from 77 yds.

I am re-sold on blades for anyone who is willing to practice to go low, if nothing else as a very specific teaching aid. for those of you that have switched to blades, did it make you better or worse? how many of you found the same experience as me?

There is a ton of discussion here about player's cavity's vs blades . . . their undeniable tell of mishits.

1.) that's for sure

2.) I can tell when I mishit my high MOI driver too. The sound, ball flight, and the feel in my hands is different all over the face. If I'm really trying to nail it down, it's time for impact tape - I use the little Nike golf stickers. 3.) If you can play, you can play with any club that fits your swing.

I'm considering switching the other way... (at least in the long irons) and it doesn't matter what clubs you hit, I can tell you by my finish if I've hit a good shot or not.

I've gone low using MB Irons and GI clubs... it has very little to do with the clubs.
