What’s a fruit tree got to do with golf

Thanks for stopping by.

Now, what about Persimmon?

Real golf.

Great addition to the post.

Stop by again soon.

Maybe if you want to compare those two styles against a new full-hybrid set, some major differences would appear. But, for me (and I regularly shoot in the mid-90′s), blades are BETTER.

For one thing, they are just prettier. They aren’t huge and chunky. They don’t have all sorts of “technology” hanging on the backs of the faces. (I think face back inserts are UGLY!)

Plus, they help me improve by telling me WHY my swing was bad.

It didn’t take me long (less than 1 month) to adjust to the “tougher” iron style.

I am very skeptical whether “game improvement” irons actually create a significantly larger sweet spot anyway.

I could hit really bad shots with my Ping G5 clones, too.

One final note: Hitting a pure shot with a blade feels so awesome!

If I had to hit blades, I’d quit … and I’m a 7 handicap or less, depending on my back and how much it lets me play.

If they could swing properly, they wouldn’t be high handicappers, Stankfish.

Doesn’t learning to hit a blade teach a high handicapper that swinging properly is better than just grip and rip?

Good luck with your choice !
