Hello, this is my first post on this site. I currently play Titleist 735cm's at the moment and something I realized is that I hit the 8, 9, and PW of the set better than the longer irons. I dont know if this is just because I somehow play blade irons better or what. I mean I like the look of the blade type irons at address and feel more confident in hitting them (im a mid handicapper, but thats mostly due to bad chipping, putting) so I wanna put that to the test and get a set of blade irons where all clubs are blades. I would still like to get something thats forgiving for a blade and works well for a mid handicapper. If anyone has any suggestions to older clubs that I could find used to help with this, I would appreciate it. I was thinking maybe Mizuno mp-32's or something along those lines. Thanks!

Most golfers will, and do, hit their 8,9 and PW better than anything else in their bag.  Does not matter what kind of clubs they are.  Many places, including ebay, have lots of single clubs for sale.  Maybe pick one up and try it out before spending dough on something you can't hit.  Go to a golf store and try some bladesout.

How are you able to see the CB of the 3-7 of the 735cm at address? Wide head?

I would think most pro shops/golf shops have blades hanging around for very little cash. Just buy one of those first.

You have misinterpreted what is happening in a pretty major way.

Your problem is that you can't hit blades, no that you can!

Most people can hit the midle of their short irons, which is why combo sets have a more MB, blade style in the 8, 9 and PW.

You need to get a more forgiving set, not one which is harder to hit.

If you got MP32s, you'd be able to hit the 8, 9 and PW, just like your current set and you'd struggle with the rest.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I'm with this. You hit short irons better because everyone hits short irons better.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

What would you suggest I try then? I mean I'm left handed so I can't easily go out and try whatever I want or even find that many on the internet that I can buy. I heard the Adams Cb2's might be good to try

I play Adams CB2 irons. They are tremendous clubs. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

    • I would agree with your assessment here. How are you at picking targets? Are you still aiming for the biggest part of the green or do you start flag hunting with a wedge in your hands? I don't really use this one. I would think that's a pretty good assumption, unless you have some weird combination of terrible from inside of 25 yards from the fairway and excellent from outside of 25 yards to offset that somehow, that it's primarily your short game from the rough that needs improvement. You can also go to the proximity by lie/distance breakdown in the overview tab to see more. For example, my SG stats look like this for the short game: But if you go to the proximity page, it paints a clearer picture. Don't forget you can hover over the bars on the graph to see how many you have taken from that lie. My short game inside of 25 yards isn't actually as bad as the SG stat would indicate, but it's completely skewed by my ineptitude out of greenside bunkers. Out of 101 shots overall inside of 25 yards, 22 of them were from the bunker. Many of them from the same bunker. Repeatedly. If you look at a glance at my 25-50 yard proximity stats, you might think it's the same issue, but it's not. Out of 41 shots overall, only 4 were from bunkers there, so that's not affecting the overall numbers too much. Same with the fairway stats, it looks like I do pretty well from the fairway from 25-50 yards out, but n=3. Not statistically significant.
    • Day 131: 5/6/24 Putting and chipping practice. Slow motion swings with a PW tonight.
    • Shot a 37 with two birdies. 2 highlights which came on the same hole.  Had a 297 yard drive which set me up for a nice approach on my  nemesis hole which I walked off with a birdie. Previous best for ages was a bogey on that hole.  2 more added to the birdie challenge.
    • I can just see Norman rushing in to LIV admin building with his silly shark hat gleaming to the Saudis, ‘ Gentleman! Have I got a great idea! Let’s have our OWN golf courses…like American football and NBA Does! It’ll really grow the game!’ He rushes out as the Saudis give him their encouragement. As the door closes and before the smell of Greg’s Brut cologne has even dissipated, they all laugh hysterically.
    • He wont win. I'm just going to leave it alone, Come on, the guys name is Gooch. The jokes write themselves. Had to suck in high school.
