Flame Suit on:

When the majority of the tour is using CAVITY BACKS, so should you! Simple as that. There are so few many TRUE BALDES in play is ridiculous. Plus the "blades" of today are nothing like the blades of yester years. They are basically game improvement muscle backs.

I agree with this. I play the original Snake Eyes Smith and Wesson blades which were designed as a game improvement blade. They were selling at about $1200 in the US and over £1000 in the UK. When Snake Eyes went bust I waited a bit a located the UK distributor and bought two sets at £200 each . I don't have any problems hitting them and don't hit game improvement long irons better. I find the real benefit with blades is in the short game . Game improvement clubs such as bulky Callaways just seem like clumsy implements when chipping and the blades feel like precision instruments around the green. Matched progressive sets with long irons with game improvement features and short iron blades makes a lot of sense to me.
