Hey all, new here to the forums. Love this discussion.
Don't have much experience with blades. If there is any comparable experience, for me, is that when I inherited my first set of forged CB irons. The feel was amazing and whenever I tried going back to GI irons in trying to play better golf, I just couldn't get on board with them. I admit, there may have been some mental biases against them because I loved the feel so much of forged CBs.
I absolutely love the look of blades and MBs. But looks is where I am realizing my friends are stuck on. I'm a 20 HCP and my friends are all 30+
