Forum Thread of the Day: “Smallest blade iron ever made?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from justasgood who asks WRXers for their view on the smallest iron blade ever made. Our members discuss what they believe to be the smallest blade head that has been made as well as the smallest blade irons that they have ever played.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Fairway14: “’70s era Dunlop/Maxfli Australian blades were small heads. So were any of the ’60s and ’70s era Wilson Staff blades.For comparison, any of the blades made during the past 20 years, from companies such as Mizuno, have head sizes about 15% to 20% larger than older blade irons.”
- Oet11: “Went digging through the garage found Arnold Palmer 3 iron from the late ’70s, smaller than my Cobras.”
- golfguycanada: “I have some older Wilson “staff” blades that would look perfectly natural at a table setting for a five-course dinner. You could literally butter the bread with them.”
- rgk5: “1983 Cleveland 588 blades. Miniscule and the smallest I ever saw and played.”

rgk5: “1983 Cleveland 588 blades. Miniscule and the smallest I ever saw and played.”
I don’t know what your talking about since Cleveland 588 were originally called that because it was the 5 th wedge design in 1988. Before that it was the 485. All 588 irons were after 1988.
My vote is for the Muira baby blades. If you know them there’s no other choice.

This. Muirfield 20th 1 iron looks impossible to hit. Maybe it wasn’t meant to be hit since it was a commemorative model for his 20 majors.
