I think it helps them cut through the turf better when stricking down hard on the ball. i have a set that is rounded and when the ground is hard my elbow will hurt at the end of the round as aposed to my blades that take out a nice clean divot, but when i play the blades when it is wet i hit a lot of fat shots. - jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Clark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2003 8:42 PM Subject: ShopTalk: Fall and Spring clubs
