Well spoken, GoNavy. Sorry - I missed Gord's post near the top where he mentioned harder to work.
For both you fellas, you both make great points.
To re-word my position:
For cavs you have to make more noticable changes to your setup to work the ball, as opposed to blades or MB's, where the change isn't quite as extreme.
So I'll concede that from a 'change your setup' point of view, blades are easier to work.
However, it seems to me that if your method is to line up your feet away from target and your clubface towards it, then swing down your body line (a popular method); then the only thing that would change from blades to cavs is just how far you aimed yourself away from the target. What I fail to understand is how that's harder in all but the most extreme cases. In other words, where are you going to have to draw or fade the ball so hard that your ability to execute the shot is diminished by the equipment?
Now, as for offset and thick top lines: I have no arguement. Some of the prettiest
clubs I've ever laid eyes on were some old-school Spalding Lynx. These tiny little heads with little pointy toes and a super thin top line.
Real GI
clubs are tough to look at, for me. The Innovex
clubs in my backup bag are great sticks, just tough to fall in love with, visually.
