Blades look pretty. And that counts for something. GI irons will not hold you back in the least.

Hey Now. Let not get personal. Who said anything about swinging the clubs.Blades look pretty. And that counts for something. GI irons will not hold you back in the least.

I can't remember for sure, but I think it is the J15 CB. Others might be able to give you proper info - to me it feels like a crossover / Pro type model; it reminded me a bit of the J40 DPCs in terms of ball speed losses, etc. It would give you a solid data point for deciding which way you want to go.I have a Bridgestone 6i. Let me send it to you. Spend some time on the range with that one club to confirm the decision before parting with your hard earned money.. PM your address.

I will not judge your lifestyle.Hey Now. Let not get personal. Who said anything about swinging the clubs.
I was just pondering if I could sleep with them.
FYI.
Kidding of course

Agree with this assessment by 6435.There's nothing a blade will teach you. You might get proficient at striking the ball by practicing with a blade, however that doesn't mean it'll make you a better player. You could develop bad habits that you don't want in your swing even tho you strike it well with a blade. I say stick with lessons get better at striking the ball that way then take a look into a CB or MB if you want. This is all coming from a guy who plays blades.

I know this is probably over kill. But here goes.
Is it better to keep swinging a shovel while you take lessons hoping to improve, or bite the bullet and get some blades?
Will the increased difficulty and smaller sweet spot force me to improve? Sink or swim. Or are they just instruments best left for experts on tour.
The best ball strikers always learned on blades. But, maybe I should not be comparing myself with a PGA pro who has been swing a club since the age of 3 years old.
So there you have it. All ideas, opinions and suggestions welcomed.

Now there is a word RARELY seen around here and I'm thankful for that...........
Speaking of shovels, I need to get my hands on a set of Cleveland Altitudes still... And get some 130 gram graphite X flex in them to break the internet minds.
Should be entertaining, although I doubt I could build a sand castle with an altitude... Maybe a Phil wedge.
I just find the use that word to be unacceptable. Many young tour players have never touched a blade. Reminds me way too much of another golf forum.........
Ditto and take lessons as often as you canhaha, I think it's funny. The concept/naming convention more than anything else.
That we can talk ourselves out of playing something because it's too forgiving or something crazy like that. I say game the most forgiving iron your swing will allow for! Very much a THP mentality.
For me, playing my apex MB makes it so that concentrate on my game and don't lose focus. It's to the point where apex irons were too much offset for my swing and the less offset allowed me to swing more within myself and not manipulate my hands to make it work. Ball went farther with apex but I feel I have more control with mb irons. At one point I came to terms with comfort/control over distance. Actually helped my short game too.

What was it about the offset? I know that a lot of people have a mental/visual hang up. Was that all it was for you?
my miss with the apex and apex CF 16 were hooks and over drawing. I couldn't fade the ball. Yes the mental/visual hang up was present but not the major culprit. Believe me, I had trackman data to show that the apex mb were a better fit over the apex but now, with the release of the apex pro irons I might need to do some rethinking of the irons. If anything I'll do a combo set with apex CF/apex pro/apex MB irons/MD3 46*
I am not disputing your results. Just curious as to the full story. What's crazy is that we keep hearing that offset doesn't cause lefts, but that always seems to be the miss with golfers and offset.
Well I am glad I dropped my SGI irons for the MP 68's I now play. Given the thoughts of many here I have no business playing these irons either, but everything else that has been said here re forgiveness holds, and a loss in distance can result in off centre strikes... This is all true. But nobody has mentioned the sheer pleasure of playing MB or blade irons...
Perhaps this is dependent on the intent of the individual, the how and why they play if you like. Purist ideology? Not necessarily IMO.
