There's a difference between blades (what you got) and cavity backs (the Pings). I just switched back to blades because, for better players, they offer more control.

I received Chi Chi Rodriguez cheap irons for Christmas when I was 11. 25 years later I got Ping 3 o-sized irons, mostly because people were making fun of my old clubs.

The Pings are so much more forgiving than the old-style, it is just ridiculous. On the old clubs, you are screwed unless you hit the ball exactly in the center of the face.

It's interesting to note, I think, that advances in technology allows ice hockey to be played in places like Texas year round.

I'd say that bicycling is the closest to golf in terms of technological advancements.
