As a clubmaker and teacher I find it interesting to see how many poeple come to me for clubs and end up having a lesson instead to begin with.

The Indian has to be able to pull the bow and if they are really stuggling there I see it as a bad service if I do not offer then the choises on how to 'fix' the issue.

A game improvment club will help higher handicap players to a degree. That degree goes down as the playre gets a better swing.

Now on the topic of blades or cavity backs, we know we have to hit the sweetspot. An old muscle back blade is not forgiving in the off centre stingy finger area vs a cavity back, but the distance the ball travels is about the same off centre. It is still going to travel the same direction whether blade or cavity back.

However there are heel and toe weighted blades, lower COG than a muscleback that will play like a Cav Back. Anyone ever thought about the top line of the Cav backs and all the weight up there in that thick top line? Who hits it up there??? Thats where heel and toe weighted blades win more most middle handicaps as the cog is lower and so the ball will launch cleaner and higher.

So for those who wish to play a blade look at the cog position on the next sets you are comparing and find the easier blades that way.

Cavity backs or blades is personal preference. Just be aware there are different sorts of blades just as there are models of cav backs.
