I play with Cleveland offset driver and woods and TA6 irons which I beleive have progressive offset. Are these clubs suitable for shaping a draw as i've been told cavity back clubs make it difficult to shape the ball.
I'm a 24 handicap and play in the UK.:confused:

They will not prohibit you from curving the golf ball. You are fine.

I have cavity backs (Callaway Hawk Eye) which slice very well..can't wait to see how well they behave with a draw!! I believe all cavity backs are either hard steel or tough titanium alloys, which makes for less spin effect than forged blades (softer metal). They say...once you are hooked on blades, it becomes a hard choice to move on to the newer technology designed for the "everybody" market (wear resistant). Blades?..take a good look at the Japanese forged sets (i.e. Mizuno for one is at a good price level).
I play in the 80's and plan to stay with wear resistant steel, although my fairway wedges are forged..for effect :D
