Idea for a review: premium golf bags. Vessel, Ghost, Stitch, GFore, Sunday, Jones, boutique shops, etc. been wanting one but having a hard time deciding. All the rage these days.
Play blades learn on them and you won't want anything else
I played fat backs for a while and sucked now have blades and they feel way better I’m not a great golfer
I think that you have to think what kind of courses you are playing !!! When I was living in the Seattle area most courses were soft especially from September – April and cavity back worked well especially in the rough Now I live in the Wichita area where fairways are hard and my blade irons work better than the Cavity back
Based on my handicap I should be playing a plastic children's set
Clearly use blades unless you want your fragile ego hurt. The more practice you put in and more you dedicate yourself to the game, the easier it gets. It’s a double edged sword of course. The harder life is and the more strive to succeed the more you get out of it and the better you feel when you succeed. Take the hard road. Put in the work for years. Feel your failures as much or more than your successes. You can do it if you put you mind to it.
Let me give you some perspective. I chose to use Mizuno MP-69 blades now. I started with King Cobra SSI or whatever it was called 20 years ago. I used to shoot 100-120. I chose the hard road. I like to make things more difficult for myself from golf to video games. I have never played more than 20 times a year and probably have averaged about 4 times a year. I can count on my fingers and toes how many times I’ve been to the range (slightly exaggerating, may have been about 35 -45. I love making things so much more difficult I refused to use a range finder or GPS until this past year and a half. Have never gapped my edges properly until last year. I learned to judge shots and distances with my own eyes and not rely on technology. I average about 90-100 doing it old school. I now shoot about 85-90 using a GPS and never go to the range. I should probably start doing that. Moral of the story is that if you don’t hinder yourself with technology and just learn the game, even with limited knowledge and skill you can still improve….using blades. Don’t fall for the levels of super game improvement vs game improvement vs blades debate. It’s all what you put into it and I have just scratched the surface. Get out there and play and strive for your goals whatever they are. Marketing doesn’t decide what your score is. You do.
What category does the p7mc come under?
The funny part about tour players is that when they use game improvement designs, they hit the ball straight with tighter distance control than the blades they use. But they still go for the blades, so ego is a thing even with guys playing for money.
Why switch clubs to forgiving? Why not fix your swing and use blades? That’s the whole point of the game.
What are your thoughts on the Callaway Strata beginner set (red bag)? That's what I'm using currently.
My custom fitted Wilson C300s do great, I considered getting blades but was advised I needed a higher swing speed or would loose distance so better getting the C300s
Loved this video and the music was refreshingly different and added to the tension. Great job guys!!
Only an average golfer, I find the best around the green clubs (blades) better control and consistency. Be careful about game improvement clubs with graphite shafts. You’ll often find them longer, hotter with stronger loft none of these attributes will improve your pitching and shipping. Best advice from this club maker/fitter is 7/8-wedges (blades): 5-7/8 (Cavity Back) and 2-5 Hybrids or hollow bodies!
I recommend everyone playing with blades eventually. True feel, and getting comfortable with uncomfortable can be a good thing 🙂
Hi, As an old fart golfer we, as in EVERYBODY, played blades back in the day. Yes they demanded more concentration and time but when you hit it right there was no question about it. At 73 years old I still play with my old, but still in excellent condition, Mizuno MP33s. I look at it as if you play tennis with a Prince style 120sq.in. racket then cavity back irons are for you. But if you walk on the court with a 90 sq.in. racket then control and feel are the most important thing in your world. Also I tried CB irons and their front to back variation in distance was crazy to me. Just my thoughts on it….
I’m new to golf. Been playing a few months when using my 7 iron maverick or Taylor made mc 6 iron… night and day from looks to feel to everything …. Both are good and hit well just very different almost seems like first few weeks 7 iron maverick was the real deal until I used to taylornade mc now seems odd when hitting my mc Taylormade
I wanna use my maverick but some how I find myself grabbing the mc one
Blades!!!
I like how the thumbnail is basically just "AVOID ALL IRONS!!!" lmao
I think the huge cavity back ‘game improvement irons’ actually hold people back from progressing.
If you are starting, play with what you can for a year and then try out other clubs. Also applies to guitars
Pete!!!!!!!!!!! FYI
Think the price is too high to pay now!!! Wait till you get the bill for regret.
Keep going and get it done. Just do it. Continue to qualify before the bill comes.
I'm a 6 handicap and my uncle was eaten by cannibals.
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.
