While at the PGA show we got the chance to speak with tons of club makers and quite a few professionals as well. One question kept coming up over an over again to the PGA professionals. "Why play cavity backs?" and it got me wondering. Most of the tours play some sort of cavity back irons yet many of the amateurs still rely on blades. We had two PGA professionals (Duffy Waldorf and Trevor Immelman) tell us that any amateur that plays a pure blade is borderline crazy and could immediately help their game by switching to a "players club" with some forgiveness.
As someone that learned the game on blades I had a tough time switching, but I am curious as to the people that play blades out there, why? We have heard for years because of feel, but that has since changed since the forged players cavity backs came out as most that we spoke to said the "feel" is the same. Thin top line? The players cavity have those too.
Not looking to start a fight here, it is just an honest question.
