I thought they figured out that it all comes down to the sound the club makes at impact. I could swear somebody ran a test where they took some pros, gave them earplugs, and blindly handed them
clubs (not telling them whether they were cast or forged). Oddly enough, the success rate was 50% - right in line with the odds.
In other words, 'feel' has a ton to do with sound at impact. I like forged for two reasons, and soft cast is ok for the second:
1) I like the sound forged
clubs have at impact. The most buttery club I've ever hit was a MaxFli Revolution Red Dot. All beat up (as forged
clubs get), but such a sweet feeling.
2) Forged
clubs (and soft cast) are soooooooooo easy to bend (and you can bend 'em
far).
It took hitting forged
clubs and cast
clubs side by side before I could tell the difference.
