Considering muscle back blades

Most of the differences are aesthetics and if everyone says that they perform the same, then I think that's what you probably have to chose from. I chose the one with the thinner top line, which is my preference.

Thats good to know. Thanks

-Your kidding right? You know i said the exact same thing as him, right before he did just worded a little differently. He just happens to own his clubs where i have only hit them.

My underwear have a brown spot the size of a dime from every time I try to hit a short sided flop shot.

I'l upload the boxers if I can find them! Pretty sure my wife threw them out.

I also call for the pictures of the irons. Maybe we should make a poll of how many ST members wanna see the pics.

I'm upping the ante.

If the OP uploads a photo of these sorry items with a picture of his username and the date, as Iacas suggested, I will leave this site and not ever return.

That should be motivation enough.

BTW I'm having trouble with my putting. Every time I hit an iron to the green it's within a two metre circle of the pin, but I'm having trouble making more than 90% of the putts. I only seem to birdie half the holes. It's OK for the majority, which are tap ins.

Does anyone have any drills that could help me? Not boasting, just asking for help with short putts.

Only a dime?  I drop a dollar in change.

I've been playing the same irons  (I'm not sure if they're considered blades,  they're an 'in-between' I think....  Titleist 990B's)  for the past 12-13 years  (I bought them right when they came out... it's been a long time!)   and I don't have any noticeable marks on the faces.... either I don't play enough,  I hit the ball like a 2-year-old,  or they don't mark-up as much as his.    If I could cause "wear" on the face,  I'd be depressed when I found wear marks on the heel and toe  !!!

This thread is funny. Reminds me of the "what golf bad will fit in my Nissan 350Z?" thread.

I parked my Porsche in the car park, played a round and had 65. As I was heading back to my car after the round, I noticed one of my headcovers was missing.

I had been delayed in the proshop where the pro was complimenting me on my swing and saying he wished he hit it like me. This was after the drinks cart girl was hitting on me. Took me ages to get rid of her.

Question:

What is a good place to buy replacement headcovers?

I'm sorry ... Shorty can really irk me sometimes, he can be grumpy sometimes, and just a general horse's you-know-what as well.  But this thread ... he is cracking me up.

You're killin' it!

[newtogolf]

Yeah Shorty was pretty much dead on in this thread.  Anyone seen any pics of the Hogan irons with a wear spot the size of a dime yet?

What a great thread.

Surely someone has a set of these irons at home.  Find a blowtorch and make the appropriate dime-sized markings.  I'll create a phantom username and print the screen-shot and send it to you.  We'll start a collection among the members to reimburse whomever agrees to destroy their irons for the cause.

Classic.

While I am enjoying the ripping and the tearing of the op in this thread I would like to throw it out there that maybe he mentioned the "dime" size burn mark to weed out the trolls on here telling him he isn't ready for blades? IDK just my .02

The way he mentioned it seemed a little off especially the "I wore out my old ones" suggests he was bragging.  And I was looking at a previous thread http://thesandtrap.com/t/45647/sweetspot-on-irons-where-the-good-players-hit-it and a dime seems pretty god damn small to be hitting the ball everytime.  But OP could post pictures and prove us all wrong.
