I've played blades for over twenty years and I agree that they have helped me to become a better golfer. I love the feel they offer and more importantly the feedback.
Having said that, I will now say this:
I build my own clubs and have for years. I have been using a set of Snake Eyes 600B's (forged blades), for the last three years and I love them.
But early last season, I decided to build a 3, 4, and 5-iron using Snake Eyes 600C's, (the cavity backed version of the "B's"). Well, I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. They swing beautifully and they seem to almost "throw" themselves at the ball. They seem effortless to hit and there is no noticable loss of feel either.
So, just these past few days, I finished building the rest of the set down to the PW. The weather right now is frigid, so it will be a while before I can get out to the range and check them out, but if the rest of the set is anything like the long irons, I think I'll have no trouble with them.
As has been said, much of the Tour is playing CB's and if they don't have a problem with that, then why should I?
I'm 49 yrs. old and although I can still swing like I always have, I think that maybe it's time to switch over to CB's if for no other reason than to simply enjoy the game more.
Like I said, the long irons hit like butter and the feel is still there. And if they're helping me with off-center hits in the process, well what could be wrong with that?
