Why are forged clubs more workable than non forged?

There was also a great article out that majority of feel in a club has to do with the sound the ball makes with the club. your thoughts if you buy into that.

Search for any variant on "players irons versus game improvement" or "to blades or not".

I hadn't heard that forged or non-forged makes a difference......I'm actually thinking about picking up some used S58's or S57's this coming winter, so kinda interested to hear if the club material makes any difference????

I started taking up golf again last spring after a few years off, I had no clubs and was going to go buy a cheap set but it turns out my brother in law had an extra set it his garage. I figured that with my brother in law being a golf Pro and a scratch golfer that they would be great clubs. So he gave me a set of Titleist DCI 990's. I started doing a little research on these clubs and they got great reviews so I started playing with them. I did a little more research and found out there were a muscleback club and more of a players club for shaping the ball. Well for me they hit well but when you mishit you knew it. I routinely shot mid-low 90s with them mid way through last year then for a wedding gift my wife got me a set of Nike Slingshots, more of a Game Improvement iron. I started using them and started flirting with 100 and I wanted to go back to the DCI's. But I found out it was more getting used to the feel and look of the club than the actual club itself. Mishits are not near as pronounced as the DCI's but well struck balls do not fly as far either but at the end of last year I put up and 85 with them so I'm looking forward to flirting with 80 this year.

Musclebacks are more workable than cavity back clubs because the CG tends to be higher and closer to the face. That's it. We have a few other threads on this, so look those up, please.
