Does that apply to drivers, irons, golf balls............ I think we're all useless and got no clue!!
I tested to see if I could pick out the difference between pro v balls and rocks when putting.
I took of my glasses and turned down the lighting so all I could see was fuzzy white balls.
I put in headphones so I couldn't hear the strike.
Couldn't fell the difference at all.

Sound is a massive part of what we think of as feel. 2nd to club head shape. Cast or forged is a distant last

I switched to forged mizuno this season from cast vokeys, the major difference I found and wasn't expecting is the Mizunos are much longer and I had to relearn all my wedge distances

Paddy, why don't you tell us a little about the voids in cast material vs forged... Go ahead and google it, I wont know. You could go on to talk about vibration and its relationship to sound and thus feel... It would look less like you just pick up fag ends from other posts and cobble them together to style out like you know anything about anything.

Rob rock told me the difference between Forged and cast club on a whole is minimal and modern cast clubs feel identical to Forged. I'll believe him
I bet 9 out of 10 on here wouldn't tell the difference in a blind test. If the biggest manufacturers (Vokey) use cast they must believe it doesn't have a detrimental effect.

Does it really matter. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, just ask my wife, she should know, having been landed with me

I dont belive anyone can tell the difference between cast and forged clubs. Telling the difference of a lump of metal on the end of 35 or so inches of steel or carbon fibre shaft?...no chance.
Its down to the sound.
Can you tell the difference between hammering wood nails over masonary nails?
As long as what you use fits your minds eye and ear, then thats all that matters

You sound like Dr Denzil Dexter here Gary
I really should just watch the bake off like any normal person rather than trying to solve these golfing quandaries.

I find the power of smell, is very much under-rated.

Don't be daft.
Normal people pick fights on the Internet, not watch television.
Don't they?

I've moved from forged to cast in irons and wedges. Do I miss the feel? Not really. Do I appreciate the more consistent game my new clubs have given me. You bet!
Interestingly, Mizuno did a video about "the sound of feel" and I do wonder if this is what people think 'FEEL' is.
