I'm wondering what some of you might think about future innovations in blade designs. People have been saying that the Titleist 695 series will be replaced this Spring, but what possible improvements can be made to the existing musclebacks? They already moved as much weight to the bottom and toe of the blades, so redistribution of weight is probably not likely. What else is there?

Nickent's blades have inserts.
I can't hit blades and never tried them.

This =O

I really like the look of the MacGregor Pro-C. I used to play the 1025M's and those were really great clubs, wish I had them back.

I like the Titleist ZM's, the Callaway Proto's for Phil, TM TP Forged, Callaway X-Forged wedges, Nike SQ SUMO2, surprisingly W/S Blades, and Tiger's irons.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

It's all marketing when it comes to blades. "Musclebacks"?

What possible improvements can be made to any existing blades? Rhetorical. Either you can strike 'em and feel 'em or you can't.

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.
