Can you play blades as a 27 hcp?

I play a lot of golf, this is my second season, I'm 16 years old and I'm a 27 hcp.

I'm going to buy new golf clubs and a golf store has a great price on some Mizuno Mp 68's.

Should I buy them, or would they just ruin my game completely?

PS, i have a pretty good swing, the close game is not good for my hcp!

    If you have a problem with slicing or hooking your ball they will be harder to play with, but if you learn how to hit blades straight, you can hit anything. Plus once you hit them straight, you can use the workability of them to hit fades and draws easily. They might be hard to get used to, but if you can practice enough with them, they are good clubs.

    Handicap has little to do with it. It all depends on how well you strike the ball. You could be a 27 handicap because you 4 putt every green or flub every chip or something.

    Basically, to hit blades well you need to hit the ball in a circle about the size of a quarter at the center of the club face(sweetspot). Look at you current clubs. Where is most of the wear on the face? If it is mostly on the toe area, blades will not be the best fit for you.

    There is some truth that blades will make you play better, but only if you have the time and will to practice. I have always thought that it was actually easier to hit the sweetspot on blades, because they are typically smaller heads than most cavity backs.(I use MP68 myself.)

    In any case, it is best to get properly fit. Mizuno has one for the best fitting systems around. And BTW, if MP 68's are not the best fit, perhaps MP53's will be. They are blades with a bit of forgiveness and equally as sweet to hit. They just fly a little too high for me.

    Wrong clubs for you at this stage. These are precise contact club that to get the best performance requires you to take the ball first then divot. Precise contact. A better club for you is the Taylormade burner 2.0 irons. An excellent club for a mid to high handicap player with very good distance, good feel and very forgiving on off center hits.

    Source(s): Teaching pro. By the way a taylormade 2.0 driver might be a good suggestion too. Now remember I cannot see your swing but a guy on yahoo answers," green lantern" gives good advice when he says to get whatever you buy professionally fitted. I always thought this was good advice. Good luck. HAVE FUN!!

    i recommend them to people wanting to learn because they are less forgiving forcing you to learn to hit them straight

    score wise they will make you worse now but will improve your game as you figure them out
