Why?

[12 piece bucket]

I took my clubs in for a regrip yesterday.(should do them myself ,i know, but too busy at the moment).So went to the range last night with a 9&5 iron from my old set of blades-Hogan Apex-and just crushed ball after ball.
My current set are Hogan CFT's ,same length and lie,nothing different except the grips are a bit thicker on the blades,which are obviously not offset like the CFT's.
Anyone come up with a reason i can hit the blades better?. Could it really be just the grips?

It is because blades are prettier . . . and they are TRUE game improvement clubs. The Golfing Machine is about precision alignments . . . blades examine your alignments better than that Waffle House Waffle Iron on the end of a stick.

At least practice with the blades . . . make sure you have the right shaft in 'em. Keep in mind cavity backs just hit the market in the 80's or so right? Blades were the only option back in the day . . . handicaps are flat . . . so it ain't the clubs.

Thanks Bucket,
I think it is "the view".I got so used to looking at that hosel ,when it ain't there things do look prettier!

What about the difference in shafts, swingweight, etc.

Shafts make a huge difference.

I've played blades for so long I couldn't comment on visual preferences.

If there is a difference in shafts, you should get the specs on the ones that are playing better for you.
