Who plays blades and why or why not?

[Mike O]

Jerry,
I know what you mean - bought the wilson staff tour blade from Edwin Watts - love'm - small head like Bucket, square toe, sweet!- spot. They go far also - no issues with distance - they may go further than my last set of clubs.

Thanks Mike. Seldom do I find agreement anywhere. They really are an interesting golf club. Short game stuff with those small heads seems also to be easier. Setting a 6 iron on it's toe, or any of the others for that matter, to putt from off the green can be round saving. Blades are pretty versatile that way.

same with me jerry, i've never really felt comfortable chipping with an iron, but these new mizunos all look so compact and clean i feel confident around the greens with them, they all look like wedges

Hogan PC's......blades look like golf clubs....I don't see that much difference in performance....I think you need to play something that you look down on and your eye likes. I LOVE blades....I'm not that good of a player....I think pretty much anybody can play 'em at least in the short irons.

Yup. That's why the golf gods gave us hybrids.

1st up I ressurected an old set of Henry Cotton blades,cleaned them up ,i had to lengthen them 1 inch,+ new grips.They are quite heavy which i dont mind........they are pretty good for but all that great fo hitting.......unsure why,shafts may be to soft,dont know nor care,they are now only used for practice.

My other set are Hiro Honmas p717....2ir thru to No 11,they are pure........hit or swing......thinking about getting some early ping eye 2 clubs..........I have absolutly no idea why..prolly change is good as holiday....Mrs Whatshername isnt impressed lol

Assuming you meant muscle-back instead of blade, I use a muscle-back because there is one with a large head - Mizuno MP-29s.

I do stand corrected thanks MJ

I am a big fan of a mixed set. Pw thru 6 blades then 5,
4,3 some kind of muscle back with a little more forgiveness. It is nice looking down when you have to carry water and your not looking at a butter knife blade.
