blades vs cavity, forged versus cast....thoughts...

I was at the range last night, struggling my way through a bucket of balls with some thoughts going through my head.

Am I an idiot to play forged blades? I can honestly say that the feel and feedback, as well as the performance of blades and forged keep me slugging away. However, they need to be respected, in terms of constant companionship. I need to be hitting these things alot or my game suffers.

Then I started thinking, "If I'm hitting these things well 6 out of 10 times, am I stupid not to go to something more forgiving?"

Like, am I a better golfer than this, but my equipment is keeping me down? Am I a better golfer at a 4 handicap with blades than I am using cavities? Is there a difference that can be noted?

How much better would I play with more forgiving irons even if right now a 78 or 79 round seems to be my high score as of late? (mostly because of fairways hit with the driver and some strong putting).

I'm starting to think I should go back to a set of cavities, just to see the difference between the two in terms of consistency. I don't mind practicing, but when "real life" comes into the forefront, sometimes you can't make it out as much as one would like, and I hate playing like garbage because of it.

I dunno, just random thoughts.

Chime in if you have anything that might help or make things worse, it's all good.
