Do blades cut through grass better?

[smoothswing]

I use Titleist AP2 irons and am happy with the way I hit them. With irons and also wedges my best shots are those where the divot is in front of the ball and the PGA pro who fitted me for my clubs said I dig into the ground when I hit the wedges and so use high bounce.

My question is about blades like titleist MB or Mizuno MP 68 or MP 69. These blades have a very thin sole which they say cuts through grass better. Does this mean this is a better club for someone who hits down on the ball and takes a divot in front of the ball?

The AP2s feel great when I hit them clean but if i take a deeper divot, I do feel that if I had a "leaner" club (thinner sole) it might go through the grass more easily and feel even better. Is this a legitimate concern and would a blade be better for this?

Wider soles have more camber.  A club's sole is cambered both side to side (heel to toe) and front to back. The camber helps golf clubs, particularly irons, move more smoothly across the turf, or dig less into the ground when taking divots. A cambered sole, in other words, makes a golf club much more playable than one whose sole was not cambered.

Pros hit the ball first with the widest soles, G15's and the narrowest, let's say 710 MB's.  Wider soles will have a little less resistance when moving through taller grass, compared to more narrow soles. So if you hit the ball in the rough a lot, a wider-soled iron will help deliver a little more distance from the rough compared to an iron with a more narrow sole.  This is because of the increased camber at the bottom of the club helps prevent the club from digging into the turf or sand as much as a traditional blade iron.

Another factor is the size of the head itself. An oversized head is bound to grab more grass than a small headed blade, as were traditional in the good old days. They are tougher to hit, obviously, but a smaller head will have an easier time getting through turf. My SW now is a blade, probably a half inch smaller from heel to toe than my oversized cavity SW I had used. For sand shots, heavy rough, and other bad lies, a smaller clubhead can help eliminate some of the grass.

The actual grind has a lot to do with turf interaction as well. Mizuno's triple cut soles are fantastic.
