My handicap index is 4.7 and I have played blades most of my golf life with the occasional cavity back demo, I never found a cavity back iron that i really liked. Love the feel and consistant ball flight with the 710mb irons. I found these irons are very solid, with great control and distance. The trajectory control for me is excellant for those windy days.  It appears the new grind has moved the CG towards the center of the clubface more compared to the old pure muscleback blades (towards the heel), i think it makes them easier to hit. They may not be as forgiving as cavity back irons on the market today, but the feedback is far superior. I know imediately on contact where my ball is going, and where i struck it on the clubface. This feedback helps me keep my swing honest during the round.

I have played blades all of my life and just recently switched from 690MB's to the AP2 710's.  They still provide me with the feel I wanted .

The 710 MB's do look very clean though.

i've had them since December with the x100 tour issue shafts.  They are the best irons I have every played.  I have a CB 3-4 iron and 5-PW in the blades.  Good luck and if you have any specific questions please let me know.

I got them with Project X 6.5 and they are sick

I received my 3-PW set in April and these are by far the best blade irons I have ever used.  I recently switched from the 690 MB's and these are similar but a little more compact.  I have the Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts in X100.   I like mine so much that I am thinking about ordering another set and putting them up for when the grooves start to wear on my present set.   You'll be very happy if you purchase a set of these.  They won't disappoint.
