When should a golfer switch from a cavity back iron to a blade?


I would like to know what skill level I should be at to switch.



Answers:

Best Tournament?

As I got better at golf, basically I switched from a game improvement type iron to a forged cavity back which is less forgiving. When your handicap falls under 10 you should probably demo some blades musceback type irons and see if they work for you. If you are consisitent and rarely have truely bad swing days, aka shanks you are probably ready. If you have a mediocre swing the blades will maximize those faults and your scores will likely suffer.

You don't even HAVE to switch, some pros still hit cavity backs, but if you just think you must you need to be a 3 or 4 handicap at worst.

Golfers elbow!?

I think if you want to improve your level of play you can switch whenever you want. Blades have a smaller sweet spot, which will tell you when you are making good contact with the ball. I think you could play blades from your 6 iron down, but anything 5 iron trough 2 iron should be a cavity back or hybrid. Plus, you look cool with blades in the bag, even if your shooting 100.

How do you play a 4 ball tournament? And how many people are involved?

It's really your preference and what you are comforable with. In agreement with the earlier answer, I actually saw one pro using a set of Ping Zings at the Bay Hill Tournament.
Cavity backs are played because they move the weight of the club to the perimeter, making a larger "sweet spot" and thus are more forgiving on off-center hits. The trade-off is feel. A blade or muscle back forged iron has better feel for a shot that is struck on center.

Therefore, a player may consider switching to a blade when they can consistently strike the ball on the sweet spot and want better feedback from the club. But I think it boils down to what you are most comforable with as you stand over the ball.

What are the best ways to sneak onto golf courses public and private?

When ur striking your cavity backs good and when you want to start moving the ball i.e. drawing it

My advice to you is, if you grew up playing with cavity backs.then keep playing with cavity back style irons.switching to blades will be totally foreign to you and probably will not be a happy experience!
