( Exclusive )"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Starting out in golf can come with challenges. Mainly just learning how to contact the ball.\u00a0The first set of clubs that I ever purchased was Mizuno blades (JPX 919s). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I believe I was a special case… Should beginner golfers use blades?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, beginners should not use blades. Blade irons have a much smaller surface area to hit the ball with compared to other clubs, such as Fairway Woods. With less room to make mistakes, blades are harder to use overall. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, I\u2019d recommend that anyone breaking into the sport sticks with clubs that are much easier to hit with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on, my fellow golfers, and we\u2019ll dive into this mystery for some answers.<\/p>\n\n\n

When should golfers use blades?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my own opinion, once a beginner golfer becomes an amateur, that’s the time to switch to blades. However, professional golfers who trust their swings don’t go after using blades because irons are ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the play seem easier when golfers use blades?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, golfers make it easier to control the ball up in the air, It makes someone’s ball trajectory appear more creative. If you overthink about its cavity back irons it would make you think that it would be hard to hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which clubs are easier to use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beginners should try out clubs with a lot of loft\u00a0or clubs that give golfers maximum forgiveness. When we learn something new, we\u2019ll inevitably make some mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When using an easier club, say, a hybrid, a cross between a fairway wood and an iron, we can expect our shots to be a bit more forgiving, such as gaining more height per hit compared to bladed irons. Clubs like these will also give us more surface area to strike the ball with and, therefore, more chances to make favorable<\/a> shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other easy clubs include short irons and wedges. By using, say, a 9-iron, a beginner can expect more lift because of the angle of the clubhead. Wedges work similarly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginner golfers might not achieve the greatest distance per shot when using clubs with greater loft, but the point I\u2019m conveying here is not to worry about getting a hole-in-one off the tee, only that it\u2019s a good idea for beginners to get used to clubs that will allow easier shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling good about our shots will make the game more fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, it didn’t take that long to adjust to the blades. I was already making solid contact with my oversized clubs, but obviously, those clubs were much more forgiving when I didn’t hit it on the nose.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the blades have made me a more accurate golfer. Sure, I still feel a couple of shots here and there, but this is all in fun, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to get better with the blades because I feel if I can break 85 or 80 with blades, I should be able to do that with any clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do Blades Feel Using Them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I struck with my Mizuno blades versus when I was playing with the oversized TaylorMade’s made a huge difference in which clubs were my favorites.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The older TaylorMade clubs rattled<\/a> very hard when I touched the ball. It isn’t too noticeable when you are doing your first swings of an outing. But when you are smashing a ball 50+ times, it starts to physically hurt, striking the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got the Mizuno blades, the feel was night and day. There was no terrible rattle at all. So when I finished a round hitting the ball sub-100 times, my hands still felt fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, even though they are harder to hit, I would still recommend at least getting stiffer shafts to ensure that you save your hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this day, I am not sure if the shafts made that big of a difference or if it was the club heads themselves, but I know once I made the transition, I could finally tolerate a full day of golfing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a point where I should transition to bladed irons?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s recommended that golfers have a handicap under 10<\/a> before changing their golf bags. However, as I mentioned earlier, any sport requires practice. The same goes for learning how to use blades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to the level where we can use them efficiently requires\u2026 well, using them<\/a>\u00a0often!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that we should replace our club selection with the hardest blades of all, but that practice is required to use any<\/em> club well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For beginner blade users, I highly recommend finding a\u00a0cheap used<\/a>\u00a0bladed iron to practice with. I also recommend practicing off the golf course before getting too serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those seeking a challenge and who feel that their striking ability is top-notch, I recommend this\u00a0list\u00a0of some of the best-bladed irons around. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny on them, though, as most high-quality blades are far from cheap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that case, how do I lower my handicap?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It helps to know the correct\u00a0technique. Even simple things like keeping the ball in a certain position can go a long way toward improving our strikes, and therefore, lowering our handicap.<\/p>\n\n\n
