Glad to hear is wasn't personal, since you didn't mention Gord, thought you were signaling me out, which was also strange, because that was just one thing I mentioned and I really didn't hit it very hard. Now back to the question, I don't know if it's true or not, Gord makes some very good points, I can only make statements to what I have personally experienced, and I know for me, Cavs are harder to work. It may be nothing more then the fact that I am old and set in my ways, and I just don't like the way they look at address, which affects my swing. I don't like the offset, looks strange to me, most blades don't have this offset. Comparing to pros as I said is a useless venture, because thier clubs may have the same name on them that you or I buy, but I can assure you, they don't play the same. The only thing I look to the pros for, is basic club design. I played perssimon heads for the longest time, until virtually all the pros switched to metal, then I said, must be something to this..lol...when all the pros switch to cavity, then I will probably have the same reaction. Same reason I don't use face forward wedges..lol...if there was anything to it, all the pros would use it. More and more are using Hybrids and subsequently I am now thinking of getting one, I will hit both long irons and hybrids for awhile and decide which is better for ME, and that is the key, which is better for YOU. For cavity backs I am more concerned with the huge offset, and bigger heads then I am workability, so to be perfectly honest, I just like the way they look.

Had to add this: One other thing I don't like, cavs have bigger sweet spots, which in my case made me lazy and allowed me to get away offcenter hits. Nothing in golf is free, may get away with it, but allowing offcenter is paid for with less then a true center hit you get with blades, and I don't know when my swing is off slightly. Me personally, I would rather take the lost in distance of a bad hit, and know I hit it badly.
