I have cavity backs and recently bought an old set of
Mizuno blades. I've always been told that blades are hard to hit. I have to say with these
clubs, I can hit the 8 iron 125 yards, where the CPR's I'd be using a 6 or 7 iron for the same distance. Now I feel like I can hit the ball where I want to. I can not say enough about the
clubs. I love them.
For instance tonight I faced a shot where the green was behind a stand of trees. I pulled the 8 iron and smacked it right over the trees right on to the green. There's no way I could hit that shot with the other
irons. For the distance, I'd have to use an iron with a lower trajectory.
Suffice it to say, I thought all
irons were the same. Now I know differently. That being said if you are a beginner, your ball striking probably will not be good enough for you to tell the difference.
If it's money I'd encourage you to try out used
clubs. Even an old set of GOOD
clubs will be better than a new set of ****py Chinese ones. Check ratings on the web, ask here, or look through old issues of Golf magazine for ratings. Any of the old
Mizuno's, Ben Hogans,
Callaways,
Clevelands, whatever.
