Blades are best????????

[StuartD]

Guys,

I said in earlier post that I was going to be using my old maxfli Australian blades this week. Well I only went out and shot a 76 (par 70)

I was five over after three holes and nearly lost my three iron as the grips were now so smooth and brittle. Once I got used to the grips I played the last 15 in one over and the bogey was a three putt.

Not sure how I suddenly found some form so I took the blades to the range last night and hit them really well again. I can’t really convince myself to put them back in my bag though.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!! I hate this game

blimey mate thats great scoring! Stick some new grips on them and see how they feel

 

[Dave3498]

No, don't touch 'em. You'll break the spell.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I agree. Invest in some new grips (even cheapies if you must) and see how you get on.

I love my blades too.

Big clumpy irons don't do it for me. Can't bring my self to look at them, let alone hit them.

Stick with them, you know it makes sense.

I think you should play another round with them to make sure it wasn't a freaky Friday thing before you decide what to do - good score though!!!

Also, I count 14 clubs - but then again I do work in finance and am therefore rubbish with adding numbers unless a spreadsheet does it for me. 1xDriver, 1x3 wood, 1xhybrid, 6xirons, 4xwedge, 1xputter = 14?

2 hybrids (2 and 3)

 

[pjaz]

Doh! Thought it was a 2/3 hybrid not 2 & 3 hybrid - I'll get me coat.

If I ever play StuartD I'll have to remember to count his clubs - not til he's 1 up with 1 to play on the 18th tee though

Why not try a set of these, I had a bash with a set at Bogside this morning and I was very impressed. Forged irons at this price is incredible.

IMHO blades are not as hard to use as people think. More important is the right shaft and whether they physically fit you.

I like bladed clubs too. for example th emizuno mp 67 are so nice they feel really good on impact.

However I did once hear a celebrated pro from my area gleefully announce to his peers after cruising to a regional win at Walton Heath...."I am never standing on a cold 200yd par 3 in the winter with a bread knife in my hand again!! Anyone not using C******ys is a c*** !!"

Nico

Go on name names

 

[The23rdman]

Yeah, tell on 'em. Who was it?

 

[Nico]

No cant he is a mate and he was pi**ed. He does hold a few club records close to Homer tho.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not my old mate Barry Lane?

 

[golfcitydweller]

[madandra]
