Does anyone else playing where winter snows fly, start the spring playing cavity backs and begin substituting in blades as summer approaches? I try to have all blades in the bag by June 1, and start subtituting the cavity backs starting in October. Actually, mine is a 3 step process, moving from deep cavity backs to my Hogan Apex forged cavity backs and then to my Hogan blades. Mis-hitting blades in March or November stings more than this old body wants to take.

Pincher Creek! My favourite uncle was from there. Notice the "u" in favourite, eh?
Im a cold weather player myself and can relate but given the site we are on Id recommend sticking with the same clubs and giving more thought to your "pressure points" and how they feel. Properly executed and firmly held your blades are good no matter what the temperature. But believe me I know the ring. The worst is that near freezing , windy day that gets your hands wet.
Forget the club face its the hands that matter. In this regard and most others.
O.B. Left from Toronto (but dont hate me I love the Stamps. Leafs rule however, Iginla is good, wish he was in blue and white)
I'm takin' you to the looney bin, then I'm goin' to the brewery.
Wait, he got out???

I have been looking for a set or two and wasn't sure which ones to go for.
Recently I have picked up the following from ebay:
Wilson Staff Dynapower
Hogan Bounce Soles
Slazenger Pinehursts
I already have a couple of Wilson Staff Persimmon drivers and one wilson staff persimmon 3 wood.
I love playing with the old clubs, much more demanding of your ability to strike the ball well. I am getting all those old sets re shafted at the momet as they have regular shafts and I need stiffer ones.

Easy there OB - we don't want our cousins to the south to lose their impression of the GWN as the home of politeness. Actually I'm an old southern Ontario boy who learned to play in the wind on the shores of Lake Erie (comes in handy in Pincher). Now over 50, I wake wondering what will hurt each day, so I'll stick with switching into the blades as the temps warm. The frost bite in my left ear is testament to my attempts to extend the season. Other than that - No more "Hey guys watch this" foolishness for me. I like having cold weather equipment.
