If we look at a bladed iron now, we start to look at the features of the blade, it's a very flat back of the golf club, there no real cavity or perimeter waiting around the club there. There's a very thin top line as I look down on the golf club, quite a short nose to the golf club and very little offset in the neck, the leading edge of golf clubs lined up with the front edge of the shaft as well, that's what we talk about as off set with the blade very little offset.

The performance benefits of a blade is that you could feel the golf club a lot more, it’s a slightly more penetrating ball flight, it's a little bit more of a workable ball flight. All things that a good player would like to see in their iron. One thing it doesn’t really offer is it doesn’t offer a massive amount of forgiveness. When you strike the ball around the center of the golf club it will feel great, but around the outside of the center it starts to send a bit of vibration back through the shaft. And actually better players kind of like that feeling because they can then understand how they can improve and they can feel when they've made a mistake.

Blades are now started to come with a few game improvement features where there's a little bit of a cavity in the back, a little bit more weight pushed to the outsides and a little bit more of a center spot or a sweet spot that started to become a little bit bigger. So blades generally would suggest if good players, zero to five zero to seven handicap something like that. But with a sort of muscle back type of irons, a blade with a bit of game improvement a slant as well that handicap range is probably pushing up into the mid teens now.
