Who plays blades and why or why not?

[Bagger Lance]

The degree to which you wish to feel a crappy shot is up to you but when you are trying to score, use the club that is most forgiving you can find. No probs practicing mechanics with a muscleback but do not beat your scorecard up for the sake of it.

Paul,

So good to have you pitching in here. Wish we had more of your time.

I've always wondered about a more forgiving club. I love my MP-14's but they are getting pretty worn. Would I sacrifice any sweet spot feel with a more "forgiving" club. In other words, would I sacrifice working the ball for forgiveness on mishits?

The club's I have now tell no lies and I love them for it. My 2 iron always tells me the ultimate truth.
Sadly, it was just replaced by a forged Hybrid because I couldn't get it to land softly on 220+ par 3's, or long approach shots.

Thanks Mate!

Hi Bagger. Just prepping the BBQ for tomorrows bash

Shaping a ball has nothing to do with whether its a blade or a high MOI. Its the Indian using the clubface though impact.

Paul,

What exactly is a muscleback blade?

Are Mizuno's MP-37 considered muscleback?

I thought it's either muscleback or cavity back (or hybrid)...and you can't have a cavity back blade can you?

Thanks!

This link will give you examples of all sorts of clubs from the Ben Hogan line. It will show muscle backs, blades (both muscle back and non muscleback), so-called cut muscles, cavity backs, etc. I hope this is helpful.
