my first full set of irons where a set of nicholas blades when i was 14! then got a set of cavity backs on the advice of a pro saying i needed the forgiveness of them and blades wernt helping me! I hated them from the start but kept them and battled on thinking i will learn to love them but after six months they were still not performing. i cam across a set of 690MB's for £300 and jumped at them they are the best feeling irons i have ever tryed and look so nice in the bag and at adress! oh and i droped 10 shots off my handicap in 6 months! BLADES ROCK!!!
