It has nothing to do with handicap. This decision should be based solely on ball striking ability. If you miss the sweet spot on more than 5% of your shots, then don't even think about it. That's the quickest way I can think of to screw up your game. There's a reason why all manufacturers offer the more forgiving cavity back clubs.... most players simply don't have a sufficiently repeatable swing to be able to use blades with any sort of consistency. I had Golden Ram forged blades for the first full set I bought back in 1976, but I didn't really start to truly enjoy the game until I bought my first game improvement irons (MacGregor RPM) in 1985. I will never play a blade again.... it just isn't necessary to put myself through that kind of torture.
