A blade is like a good friend who tells you the truth to make you a better person/golfer

@TGGent92 Жыл бұрын

You are correct on all the advantages of bladed irons. All my life I've used Blades. From my first Wilson, Sam Snead Pro staff Blades at 6, to now were I have Titleist ZM Forged, and Wilson Andy Bean Pro staff blades. I Get better and better on my Iron Game. I improve greatly when I'm forced to make the difficult shots or get out of bad lies. My blades have never let me down, i will never change out my blades.

This is right on. For years I have been mucking about with cavity backs. Picked up a set of older forged irons at a thrift store just because they looked nice and price was 2 bucks per iron. Tried a few shots with them and realize what I had been missing. And they're making me a better golfer - rapidly. I really feel and see that.

@stevenburton7922 3 ай бұрын

I play an ancient and beautiful set MacGregor 1025m' blades Very soft. I have a good swing but can only play 9 holes a week because of time constraints. There is no way I would want to hit a cavity back because the blades are so revealing and instructive. They make me a better player because of their real time feedback. They are a true friend that tells me the truth and I appreciate that. My swing is better for it. Steve from Ohio.

Some one gave me an old set of beryllium Copper Cleveland TA 1 blades 20 years ago as a joke … sold them and got a set of Calloway Cavity Back irons and i couldn’t make a good strike .. so i sold them and got a pair of 680 MB’s Titleist Blades and Then 712 Titleist MB’s. Then 716 MB’s. Then moved into a set of 718’s. Now I’m putting a set of 620 ‘MB’s together! If you work on ball striking drills and practice a lot , once you can work a Golf ball with blades you will become spoiled..that soft feeling through impact with a solid piece of forged metal is a feeling like no other in golf ….shout out to my Blade players around the world! #Butterknives

I learned golf at the age of 17 and started with blades. I have never played with anything else and my handicap is right around 6 now. I still play with some Hogan Apex 2 blades and some Hogan metal woods from the original Hogan company. When they went out of business and Calloway purchased them, I got about 10 sets on sale for about 200 bucks a set. I have never needed to use them but they are all blades except the hybrid set I purchased out of curiosity. I find blades look better to me and it did take a while to learn how to hit them in the center consistently but I love them and will never use anything else. I had a pro hit my clubs and he was astonished at how great they feel even if they are older. I have regripped them every season and reshafted them once.

Yup, once you find what you like... -- I recall watching friends play well with the first Ping Eye 2s; the cavity back rage. Easy to hit the long irons and they were well built, but I always felt a little more robotic with them and less like a golfer... I returned to forged, and never looked back.

Pro’s are the first ones to adopt new technology if it improves their performance. E.g. 460cc Drivers, Pro V1s, mallet putters, hybrids, driving irons. It says a lot about blades that they are still in the bags of 11 of 20 in the OWGR. I think most golfers can easily play them in 6-pw. Most experts agree that the difference in forgiveness between blade and cavity back is negligible and not worth the loss of feedback.

I started with game improvement irons and they stunk! Despite loads of practice my ball striking didn't improve. I moved to player cavity backs at 17 hdcp and my hdcp fell to 12 quickly. I then went to blades and lowered my hdcp to 9.8 at present, also very quickly. With the game improvement irons I couldn't tell where the heck on the club face I was striking with my current blades I know instantly exactly how I struck it. I also have not seen the forgiveness issues everyone talks about. Refreshing to hear a pro with this view for a change.

So how about forged wedges for the 100 yd and in game for the joy of forged feel and control where center strikes have higher likelihood on partial and greenside shots... and where the average player hits most of their shots... hybrids for 3-5 iron spots and a more forgiving head for 6-9...(?) that's what I have done and am finding it is an excellent solution for the 1-2 round per week (summer in Canada) player. excellent video and thoughtfully explained.

I started playing Mizuno blades last year as a 10 handicap. I never found them difficult to hit. I didn't lose any distance and I love the look and feel. My handicap came down three more strokes over the summer. Since then I've found that I strike the ball far better than I ever did. I've gained a lot of distance from good strike and good launch conditions. I am a far more skilled golfer and I'm aiming at low single digits this year. I think all the videos that suggest only the best ball strikers in the word can play blades or that blades will hurt and punish you are not serving us well. I've found none of those things to be true.

I started playing this past august. I was originally using improvement irons I bought used at a second hand store. They are nice and weighty which helped me get a better feel for tempo, but every time I hit the ball and had a horrible shot I could never tell why it was bad. So I’d just line back up and do the same mistake without any feedback on how to fix it. I saw a set of Wilson tour blade FG-17s on marketplace for $100, came with 3-pw, and decided to buy them. They looked like they had been used one season and stored away for the past 40 years. I immediately started feeling how I was hitting the ball every time I hit. Toe and heel strikes were immediately recognizable and, more importantly, distinguishable from one another. Same goes for shots that were too high or low. And hitting a pure shot with a forged blade is unlike anything else. If you hit one perfect it’ll make you want to keep hitting to recreate that feeling. I understood the reason why some people say start with blades, but I never REALLY understood until I did it myself. I definitely recommend anyone starting out or looking to improve to try blades if you haven’t yet. Find an old set (or even just one or two clubs) of forged blades for cheap and practice with them. Even if you don’t use them for regular use, try them out and see how you do. They will immediately start improving your game because you’ll start actually being able to feel what you’re doing right and wrong.

"Forged is dead", blades will be a distant memory, gone the way of persimmon woods and hickory shafts, That was the trendful thinking back in the mid to late nineties,, it was just a different time. Even steel shafts were being scrutinized with graphite shafts being all the rage...titanium shafts were already out. I think it's great just how many choices there are now in golf, it's wide open really.

I first got blades when I was 22. I had never broken par until I hit some TP 11’s then as soon as bought them shot -4 and -2 in comps. I remember the feel was unbelievable. However i could only hit 7 iron 150 or even less. I changed them a few years later because the lack of distance compared to cavity backs was massive. I was sick of hitting 7 iron where my mates were 9 irons.

This should be required veiwing for every golfer! Blades are the only honest club you can buy. I can tell (without looking) withing 1/8" where I hit it. Honest in every way. Honest loft. Flight characteristics, distance control, total dispersion etc. I switched from 'game improvement irons' at 20 handicap. I went to the range 3 times a week for 3 months to learn how to an accurate striker. With no other help I shot 8 over. As I became more confident with my blades I've lowered that to play off 6. 'Game improvement irons' should be called 'Distance improvement irons'. They're mislabeled clubs. A 28* 7 iron is really a 5 iron. GII are wildly inconsistent with yardages and left me bewildered after flying the green on on a few occasions. Getting a ball back in play from the thIck rough is easier with a smaller head (less grass to chop through). The marketing wank from most of the big companies is strong. They boast tech improvements to help you in so many ways. Help yourself, pick up a set of used blades and see what it's like to pure a ball. The sound, feel and flight of a pure blade strike is unmatched! My final word: Many golfers are building combo sets with CB irons in the 6 and up. I caution people to try blades 1st. I have blades from 3 to PW, and 3 Vokey wedges (also blades). The feeling is unmatched. I can't imagine the day that I won't play blades.

@jdefc 4 жыл бұрын

Have you tried Hickory? Most golfers don’t hit the sweet spot often enough as it is, so are hardly gonna play better with blades. Not a huge percentage of tour pros carry a full set of true blades so why should a recreational golfer? Golfers who fat and thin most of their iron shots but „prefer the feel of a blade“ are talking crap. Anyone who can realistically judge their own game and isn’t hitting the sweet spot regularly should not be going anywhere near a blade!! Your Combo statement is also a little strange. Rory, Rahm don’t even have Full Blades in their Long irons. Brooks Koepka is Playing Mizuno jpx919 Tour and these are some of the worlds best ball strikers. The best way to buy clubs is to try a bunch of different ones, preferably outdoors and with decent range balls and find the best one in your price range or wait 6-12 months and try and get a second hand set of the more expensive model. If blades work best for you, that’s fine. 6 is a reasonable handicap but suggesting to some stranger that they should buy a Second hand set of blades is reckless. They could love them (2% chance) resell them (60% chance) or give up (38%) this already very difficult game.

@@jdefc who cares what tour pros do or use? You have more in common with an astronaut than a tour pro. No I've never tried hickory, I bet you haven't either. If you're too afraid or too brainwashed by the boogeyman stories of big bad blades, that's your choice. To condemn me for my advice is your prerogative, but in doing so you look like a nanny. I stand by my assertion that cheap used blades are great instructors. Without looking, the feedback is definitive and immediate. Swinging a garden spade sized club will ensure contact but never a sweetspot will be realized! The sweetspot on all clubs is precisely the same size, blades just don't waste all that useless real estate. You do you, those of us that are adventurous and want to feel the greatest feeling in golf will swing blades and relish the sound, feel and precision flight that they bring. Good luck with the shovels.

@@jdefc and that right there is the reason that the average handicap hasn't dropped and has actually risen since the 70s! If you're going to be a golfer, be a golfer. There's no magic pill, no engineering breakthrough and certainly no marketing wank that has solved the challenge of crap golf swings! If people want to golf like hacks, bash their way to high scores and injury, there's plenty of ways to do it and plenty of people lined up to take their money. The marketing department promises long, straighter, better, faster and more accurate with this year's club that's miles better than last year's crap. The instructors promise a "magic move" that'll add 20 yards, go straighter and score lower. All bullshit! Take lessons from someone that doesn't promise miracles, put in the practice and put some clubs in hour hands that aren't full of shit and don't reward shit swings. Or... don't. Continue as has been the norm. Buy distance improvment irons, accept a normal score of 100-110 per round, and an occasional 95 to feed your ego. Distance improvement irons are the golf equivalent to the husbands answer when the wife asks 'if she looks fat in these jeans'. If she wanted the truth, she'd ask... nobody, she knows she's got a fat ass! I'll encourage beginners to use whatever they like but when they start shooting in the 90's and want to focus and be a true golfer (as opposed to someone who owns and occasionally uses golf clubs)... I'll put a blade in their hands. The minute they pure the 1st shot they'll know what it feels to be a golfer. Then they can put in the work to be worthy of being considered one!

If you were 12 playing Hogan Apex's... just a guess, but you've got to be south of 50... born in '74? Forged are the only clubs for me. The best I may've ever felt (but didn't buy) were Taylormades from 2015 or so. I forget which model, but they were the right combination of stiffness, feel, and especially softness in the face-- just soft enough to reward me with a great sensation after a good strike. Not quite as much workability as my Wilsons from the 80's, lol, but preferable nonetheless.

Blades let you know exactly where on the face you have hit, and gives consistent yardage, you are not going to get one that goes 10 yards farther out of nowhere like some game improvement irons.

I'm struggling with my 620 cb's. About to throw them away. All of a sudden can't hit them.

Lovely clubs but I would bend them 2 deg strong to help me hit my yardages without having to slam them.

What is a blade golf club

@normandowd123 Жыл бұрын

I think the game improvement clubs are overrated. Some of my friends have moved from blades to game improvements and their scores are worse along with their play, but they insist that they are playing better, probably because of the strong lofts allow them to hit their 7 irons higher, less spin and longer. (not closer to the hole)

Golf is supposed to be hard. Forgiving clubs are a bane to the entire concept of the game. Bobby Jones was asked once his opinion of Jack Nichlaus. He simply replied "he plays a game that I am unfamiliar with". Apply that sentiment to today's clubs by ten fold!
