Titleist definately knows what theyre doing..Theyre being smart...theyre saving a lot of money by adhering to the cast method over the high price of stamping forged blades...Also there isnt too much difference in terms of wedges opposed from forged to cast when the loft is that high...-so they dont bother...another reason--they have THE VOKE himself designing their wedges

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Just digressing a bit but I tried the Titleist Forged iron today and the clickiness felt very similar to a cast iron... But somehow the Mizuno forging felt "softer"... Maybe it's in the head but just wanted to write what I noticed. Do different kind of forging make iron head feel different even coming from same material?

Exactly. There is no magic in forged or cast. Its the alloy. Most forged clubs are 1020, 1025, or 1030 alloys. Mizuno uses 1025. Srixon and Miura use 1020 on some clubs, which is even softer.

A number of Titleist's are forged from stainless alloys which are much harder. That makes them feel an awful lot like cast.
