Leave the butter knifes alone and just play the game. Take all the help you can get from a club and get the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible.

Personally the way I am playing it makes no odds to me. If my game is on I get a smooth feeling from my forged TP's. If its off the small cavity helps mask some of the problems and still lets me get it away. As for working it, I'm trying to get it going straight. At the end of the day it's still about what works for you. If you are low and want the ability to move the ball, which incidently is designed not to move so much in the air these days anyway, left or right then arguably forged is the way ahead. If you want a club to give you some help then the majority will come as cast models (with the notable exception of the JPX800 pro).

I will no doubt join your Mizuno butter knife wielding clan in the future and look regretfully back at this rant with a disdainful shake of the head but until then I can safely say I think it's all bonkers
Haha!
Bonkers maybe my friend but I can assure you I love every second of it!
Some people would love to hit a high three iron but I love to drill it as low as possible, maybe with a bit of cut!
Thats fun.
Even if I hit it miles off line or top the thing 3 yards at least I went out trying to do it properly!

Brilliant riposte
now once you've finished slicing it up with your 3 iron can I have jam on my toast PS DCB I am standing resolutely in your camp. I hope you stay on the wagon

unfortuntely much of this is not necessarily true. most is down to design and the shaft.
go to somewhere that sells Cobra. Try the S2 and S2 forged in a blind test, their design is pretty similar. I'd bet you could tell the difference.

Without wishing to be a bore...
Cobra S2 6 Iron specs:
Forged:
loft - 28 deg
lie - 62 deg
length -37.5"
swing weight - D2
shaft - Nippon 1130 Tour
shaft torque - 1.9 deg
shaft weight - 112g
Cast:
loft - 28 deg
lie - 62.5 deg
length - 37.75"
swing weight - D3
shaft - Nippon NS Pro 1030H
shaft torque - 1.8 deg
shaft weight - 103g
Perhaps there's enough difference there already.
