I am considering purchasing a used set of muscle back/blades, to take advantage of their feedfack. I have a set of Ping Eye2s and Cleveland TA-7. I got the TA 7 since they were very difficult to mishit. Tried my Pings for the first time in a year, and they were easier to hit then I remembered. I can better sense when the heel of my irons are digging in with the Ping EYes, probably because of the sensicore shafts of the TA-7s.

According to the PGA value guide website, I should be able to acquire older model blades or muscle backs for under 200 bucks. FG17, the blade version of Ping Eye 2s( I understand that cavity backs haven't improved much since Ping Eyes2s, if at all, and the same goes for FG17s), should be acquirable for well under a hundred. However, according to reviews I have read on golfreviews.com, blades are susceptible to denting and groove wear,which the EBAY auction descriptions denote. Brand new sets would cost 800 full retail, so that is definately not an option.

So, any recommendations for a used set of blade/muscle backs?
