I think this is an interesting idea right here: Could the forgiveness in a cavityback lend towards making people actually worse ball-strikers? The blade being less forgiving, definately lets you know when you hit the ball off-center by any amount. Many cavity backs don't. I would think that practicing with a blade would teach a person to hit more balls on-center as bad shots would feel bad. This idea has me tempted to build up a 5I blade to the same specs as my cavity backs and see what happens... -Dave
