Greetings my fellow golfers. I've been playing with blades for the last few years and I was thinking of an upgrade. I was wondering if any of you have demoed any cavity back irons and which ones you would recommend for a low handicap player. Thanks for the input.

Driver: Taylormade R7 Superquad TP 8.5 (Fujikura Motore F1 75 X-Stiff)
3-Wood: Cleveland Tour Head 13 (Matrix Ozik Code-8 X-Stiff)
Irons: Titleist 690 MB 3 and 4 iron (Dynamic X-100) 5 - PW (Dynamic Tour X7)
Wedges: Titleist Spin Milled 55 and 59 Degree
Putter: Titleist Studio Stainless 1st Gen.

I kind of did the same thing. But this will be my first summer with them so I really have no report as of yet. I went from a set of Mizuno blades to a set of combo irons. Specifically the Bridgestone J36 Combos. PW and 9 are a true blade - 8, 7, 6 are CB - 5 and 4 are more of a muscle back. Hitting some balls on the range last fall and over the winter I really love the feel of these clubs and still have the ability to work them if needed/wanted.

Well, don't make the mistake of getting ones with large offset - it will introduce all sorts of problems into your game.

Mizuno's MP-53s are nice.  Titleist's AP2s are fantastic, practically a game improvement iron.

If I were getting new irons, I'd go with something in the Nike Victory Red line.  This year's offering includes the Pro Combo, which is MBs for 8-P, then variations of cavity for the middle and long irons.

I agree with Shindig, the Pro Combo might be a great fit for what you are looking for, something to look into. Just to add a few more: AP2's, R9 TP's.

Thanks for the input. I'm looking into a couple different sets at the moment. I just hit the new Taylormade MB and CM's and I wasn't too impressed. I will definitely be back with an update.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
