Deep dives

Practicing with a Blade Iron

Some players may choose to practice with blade irons for improved sensitivity in strike quality and feedback. Using a blade iron can help enhance strike awareness and refine contact with the center of the clubface. The feel of hitting slightly off-center with a blade iron can be uncomfortable and provide helpful feedback. Additionally, practicing with a blade iron can allow players to focus on controlling ball flight and direction, as these clubs tend to be less forgiving. It is essential to ensure that the blade iron chosen closely matches the player's regular iron set to maximize its effectiveness.
