Back in the day, most golfers played a blade style iron because that\u2019s all there really was. They\u2019ve changed a lot over the years and in this post, I\u2019m going to be talking about whether or not pros use cavity back irons and if so, who actually uses them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Titleist<\/a>, around 70% of tour players use cavity backs while 30% use blades. A lot of players like Zack Johnson will actually use a mix of both but the majority of players seem to prefer cavity backs. Adam Scott, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy have played blades\/muscle backs while Jordan Spieth, Jim Furyk, and a bunch of others prefer cavity backs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these guys might have changed since the time of writing this but the main thing to note is that most golfers on tour do prefer a cavity back. Jim Furyk says he\u2019s much more accurate with them and can hit them straighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that\u2019s probably the main reason most guys would use them and why the majority of weekend golfers should as well. Blades are easier to work the ball around in my experience and some people prefer the feel as well. You can see the differences between the two styles of clubs below:<\/p>\n\n\n
