I play blades. Mine happen to be forged Tommy Armour Silver Scots with extra stiff Rifle graphite shafts. I only got them a few weeks ago to replace another set of EVO-31 blades. I wanted to switch to graphite to protect my sore elbow. That is working, but as an added benefit, I love these irons!

That story is to set up this story:

A week ago Monday, I met some customers to play a nice local course. I arrived a little early to take advantage of a great range with unlimited balls and real target greens. The starter is stationed near the range and since it wasn't busy, he came down to look at my clubs since he is also a lefty. He appeared to be late 60's and he was admiring the look of my clubs. He watched me hitting for a while and asked if he could try out one of the clubs.

I agreed and he set up in the next bay with my 7 iron. He must have hit 10 worm burners and finally put it back in my bag saying, "That's the stiffest graphite shafts I ever saw." He then said, "My God, you've got a 2 iron in there. How in the world do you hit that thing with these shafts?" By this time, I was already chuckling.

I saw him again this past Monday when I played the same course and he immediately said, "You're the blade guy."
