Very interesting Rich. I would have guessed more mixed sets... I would have been wrong. :-)

What does Garcia play, I did not realize that TM made a pure blade?

[Richie3Jack]

I consider a 'mixed' set something along the lines of what Poulter does...CB from 4-7 and MB from 8-PW. If a player has blades from 4-PW and a CB 3-iron, I don't consider that a 'mixed set.'

Garcia in November (IIRC) was using some Taylor Made RAC MB's. I consider an MB a 'blade' as well.

CB back is a pretty big category don't you think? There's a pretty big difference between say a half cavity and a massive pocket cavity or something like that. How many of those guys play 'pocket cavity backs' I wonder? My guess would be none

Its a great marketing tool for the big companies though 'even the world's best play cavity backs...'

[Richie3Jack]

Very true. Maybe sometime down the road I'll list what each player's irons are.
