I recently changed my iron set from cavity back with graphite shafts to muscle back (blade) with stiff steel shaft. And now i just can't hit the ball correctly and its very hard to get the ball to fly high (even with 8 iron). Its reaaly frustating. Please help

This is purely your clubs. Blades are harder to hit than cavity backs, and steel shafts are a little less forgiving than graphite. There are positives and negatives to both steel and graphite, but these new clubs are going to be much harder to hit than the old cavity backs.

The blades they are made to hit the ball lower. This is the theory behind the new hybrid irons you see on the market.

Hopefuly this helps, but in the end you may be better off switching back or at least getting a newer set of cavity back irons.

Let me know.
