Dude can hit it a mile, but his swing type just makes it so hard for him to have any consistency in controlling distances

He can get away with it if he uses his body more for his wedge shots. A lot of good players played with a shut face--Paul Azinger is a notable one.

There's just so much that has to go right to get the club face back to square at impact for him I dunno if he can do it under intense pressure. |

Adam Scott vs Keegan Bradley This is a compelling final pairing that bares watching. Bradley's 3 back starting the round but the way these guys play the gap could close in a hurry.

Neither won of those pukes won.
So how long are the forged heads of my MP-14s good for? I got'em new back in the 90s so there over 15 years old. A forged head never gets soft or weak? I was thinking about retooling and in my research the MP-14 is one of the most popular blades ever. So Mr. Hamas(or anyone else), in your opinion what's the best blade on the market in 2014? To me they're all so similar that I'm beginning to think there's no real difference. I have a good connection on a Mizuno dealer so I was leaning back that way and thinking I could a decent deal on some MP-4s. So? |

Browning and bag chatter is going to happen with blades. The true measure of wear is if the face is starting to look concave. If that's happening, or if you can notice a discernible lack of depth in the grooves, it's probably time to get a new pair. If you have a hookup with Mizuno, just stay with them. They make the softest blades this side of Miura. If you want to drop a lot of extra coin, you can look for Miuras or Miura forgings of Mizunos (which is basically what every iron Tiger has ever played actually is). It also depends on the amount of playability you want. Ninety-nine plus percent of golfers are better with some type of cavity, even a modified cavity. The MP4s look beautiful, but are probably a slunt when you mishit them. The 64s can probably give you 90% of the playability and more forgiveness. |

I haven't even had the time to play a round, but I've made a concerted effort to stand closer to the ball this year. I also noticed that I don't supinate my right arm very much, which gets me far above plane with a shut face. If I make a conscious move to supinate that arm on the takeaway I'm much more on plane and hitting the ball far more crisply.

So if my MP-14s are still in good condition I'm probably not going to find a better blade. I should probably get a new set of irons so I don't wear out my 14s. Thanks for your input, Hamas. |

This is easily the best quick fix for golfers everywhere. I play 1/week and even I find myself drifting too far back from the ball at address. Your posture needs to be such that your arms hang straight down, not reaching for the ball.
