Well, I'll put my Sethistory in an order with rating, if you don't mind:

Head Premise (a gift from my stepfather to begin with, low hosel technology with regular graphite shafts, 2 years later all shafts were broken) - cast iron with strong lofts

Golfsmith Forged (my first fitted set, since I had little clue about fitting then I totally relied on the clubfitter, hence he suggested sensicore in the apollo stepless stiff shafts) - great look and feel, that's what I love about Blades

Ping Zing 2 (after returning from long break I thought the fryingpan technology would compensate my lack of technique, little truth there but on the other hand I had no clue what to change) - yeah, feedback is quiet little maybe due to the large sweetspot? sold them after 6 rounds again

Mizuno Pro (or TRue) - forged Iron, half cavity with MB behind the sweetspot. I couldn't feel the clubhead at all, sold again after 4 weeks.

Maxfli Revolution - forged CB, great club, very soft feel, but I bought them with regular shafts (what a mess) - they are still here

Cleveland TA-7or 5? BP
Did not like the look of the clubhead, sold immediately after 2 rounds

Taylor Made Firesole - cast Iron, no feel, strong lofts, and a hack of a distance, but I feel a little like a girl, I always miss what is not there - this time feel

Wilson Deep Red II - not that bad set of clubs, wrong shafts in there

Wilson FI5 - great set from 8-P but I prefer not to have the CB'S from 7-3

Ping I3 Oversize - another trial into fryingpan section, sold them today again

Cleveland CG-1 Black perl - what a beauty, need to re-shaft them since they have regular shafts

Cleveland TA-1 bought them for the shafts, RIFLE 6.5, to put them into the BP's, couldn't resist to try to hit a few shots with them, and now there are currently in my bag

I am going into my 3rd season with Wilson FG 62's. DG S-300 shafts and I just love the danged things. I usually go through irons like oats go through a horse, but these have earned their keep in the bag. They feel great and look good at address. Since stumbling into Yoda and TGM, though, I seem to be able to use most anything and still have fun.

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

2 sets of blades
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.
