Ive got aome old MDD irons that i guess would be cavity back but theyre super thin and the cavity is almost like a milled out blade, absolutely love them theyre offset so theyre a little more forgiving but ive used newer clubs that are more like the cavitys in this video absolutely hate hitting them though they just dont feel right of the face, also use my dads bladed paragon PW and love that
I still use some old mizuno blades that my dad gave me lol I’ve always used them and love them but can definitely hit cavity backs better and further so I’m tempted into getting some for tournaments and more seriously
How about you start using some super forgiving irons. might help with the turnaments
Fun fact. Tiger woods wasn’t even the first person to get the TW irons. It was Tommy Flightwood. Seeing Tommy in the beginning of the video made me think of that.
Taylormade stealth is a Adams golf club in a new dress. I have 14 year old Adams idea clubs they are very good, I'm 66 and a 20 HCP
Anyone who isn't a pro should just be after their style from a thrift shop. Until you get into your game more, these clubs are good investments for people who will play long term. A lot start then stop. So thrift shop until you're certain. Entry level is less than $100, instead of paying $200+ just to quit.
Thanks Peter!! Video's like this help weekend amateurs like me to better understand and make wiser choices! Much appreciated!
I have the T350s and absolutely love them, shaved about 10-15 strokes just this year with them
As a mid handicap (13) I’ve thought about looking in to more forgiving irons to get that HCP lower. BUT. The commanding sound of a perfectly struck blade on a quiet golf course might be one of the best sounds out there
Use blades. You don't want forgiving clubs. You want to learn how to strike the ball right.
I bought a 2nd hand Wilson launch pad 6 iron the other week, unbeliavable the difference it has made, seriously considering getting a set of Wilson launch pad 2 irons now.
Testing with a golf robot contradicts everything you said. Some of todays blades are more forgiving than game improvement irons. That’s all marketing BS. I talked with a PGA player and he said it doesn’t matter. Just pick the ones that you like the most based on feel. The performance is for the normal player the same. He said the same thing about gloves. He uses one brand (sponsored) and he gets 10 pair and throws away 2 because he just don’t like the feel.
And when you think about the soft feel: this feeling is all AFTER you hit the ball. So it doesn’t affect anything what you do before you hit the ball.
for a better player, or a motivated aspiring player, do not discount the benefits of FEEL. That is what provides FEEDBACK. You feel where the ball was on the clubface at impact. That feel enables a player to improve, as he seeks to find that sweet spot more regularly. Get a blade for that.
Most cavity-back, game-improvement clubs compromise that feedback, and so, the player cannot improve as readily. The marketing is BS.
Cavity-back is fine for the once-a-week player. Not so much for those aspiring to more. They should get a blade.
Those hollow blades break, I broke one after 3 hits.
Blades aren't hard to hit at all. I don't want irons that 'offer help' because so often i'm hitting them wildly different distances depending on strike. I've got P790's and have hit the 9 iron anywhere from 150 to 170 on decent strikes. When i hit my mp33's, they go the same distance every time with a good strike but the bad strikes fall up short. When i mishit it is one thing but i really want to know exactly what's going to happen when i actually hit it well. I don't feel GI clubs give me that.
I bought a set of used Greg Norman Cobra blades for less than 175$..they forced me to hit more consistently …and they stop on a dime on green
I lost my putter cover last year and the course gave me the exact same one that Tommy Fleetwood had in his bag at the starting of the video. weird. It has a bottle opener on it… 😂
Why no links to these clubs you tested?
Peter, your club reviews are good, really good and I adhered to your advice and bought a set of Takomo 201 CBs. My handicap was 11, but I’m loving the the irons after moving from Taylormade P790s. Don’t get me wrong, they were great, but I got many many flyers, 9 iron was varying depending on the strike from 130 yards to 155 yards. Hmmmmm, my bad miss was dead over the back. The Takomo’s were speced for me, 1 inch longer, 1 degree upright but the distances were consistent. I still hit bad shots, but the distances were much more consistent. Keep up and great content, you and Rick are excellent viewing.
Titleist needs to make 990B irons again but forged and off chrome like nickel
The only difference between a cavity back and a hollow is just the plastic cover the hollow has on the back. Otherwise they are the same.
I hear ‘a little bit’ more forgiving – ‘a little bit’ this and that. I’ve hit blades and cavity backs. To be honest, I’d focus more on what you’re doing than what you’re using.
If you play 18 every week and hit a hundred range balls a week, you could probably play less forgiving irons.
Rick Sheild’s long lost brother
Wow he's pretty good looking cl, cheers for the advice
Love your swing man. Super smooth and controlled
Me: 'Hmm, I should get some of those hardcore blades, they seem pretty cool.'
Also me: Standing in a bunker two fairways to the right after I hit a massive hook.
What a lovely swing.
It’s interesting that club manufacturers and those reviewing irons and recommending irons all presume people play golf to get the lowest score possible and lower their handicap….there are many who just want to go out and have some fun and score doesn’t matter…they want to feel a pure iron shot, even if it’s only a couple of times in a round…they could care less about score. So, even if they aren’t a great ball striker, they may prefer a blade to feel that amazing feeling when purely struck…like the guy who buys a Porsche 911 Turbo and uses it for commuting to work instead of a Prius…
Honestly the most important thing is when you get clubs you can’t hit, get rid asap so you don’t end up hating the game instead of chopping in some sexy irons that don’t work for you
