| My best round ever (88 on a par 70 course) was with a set of clubs very similar to those, along with real wood woods. Still haven’t beaten that score with more modern clubs. Though I’m not good at golf nor do I have nice clubs. |

I broke out my Hogan Apex blades yesterday to clean them up and get them boxed to give to a client who is a golfer and says he loves Hogans. I used to, but I used to play a lot. Oversize irons for me now (Cleveland, I think), but still haven't picked those up in years. Plan to start losing golf balls again this year |
|
I started with a cobbled together set of old blades. There wasn't more than three clubs in the whole set that matched. They were hard to hit, but I was young and had fun with them. I finally upgraded to a used set of Callaway Big Bertha irons and it was a night and day difference. |

But they sure aren't blades. I usually play Titleist T100. Still really compact but a bit more forgiving. |

Got a old set of eye2 black dots just in case. Ill say this, once you hit a ball off the screws, you'll love those irons. Also, the difference between a "click" and a "clang" is about 1/4". You get great feedback either way.

If I played a round with those instead of the set I have in my garage there would be zero difference. The only way I’d golf better is by throwing the ball where I want it to go. I measure success by ending with as many (or more) balls than I start with. When hunting for mine in the woods I usually find a few more
