I rather missed this topic somehow. But here is a good story about relative feel. Picture this, a master craftsman talking to a pro about feel in the workshop.
Pro, " Heck you cannot feel a graphite shafts feedback"
Clubbie, "Here Jed, stick your hand on the vice there"
Pro being a ball crusher duely puts hand on the vise and Clubbie slaps it with his hand.
Pro "Hey that was not very nice"
Clubbie "stick your hand back back on the vice"
Pro not being very smart puts his hand back there.
Clubbie picks up hammer.....
Pro "Hey I may look stupid but..."
The point here is that the feedback was just going to be very different.
The same can be said for blades vs cavity backs vs vibration dampening devises built into clubheads. If you want more feel then you want a head design that will vibrate more, muscle backs.
As training tools a muscle back will take no prisonsers but the are probably not most players PLAYING tool of choise.
I noticed the Snake Eyes and Mizuno's mentioned above. They are as most blades not that forgiving. Maltby's came out with a heel and toe weighted blade that made them play like a cavity back....now Ping have followed the design idea into the G2 as an extreme. Point here is that a blade is not just a blade. Its how it is designed that counts COG wise that makes them possible for anyone to play with with a bit of thought.
Training wise use a hard task master, a muscle back. For the money end of things give yourself any break you can muster.
