These irons are very difficult to hit and should only be used by golfers with handicaps of 5 or below. the sweet spot is very small.
I agree that the blades are a challenge to hit but I think that anyone between a 5 – 12, looking for irons that have some playability will be able to hit the half-cavity backs with ease. At least that was my experience.
