there are drivers out there with "forged" and "semi-forged" faces that are designed with more control in mind while everything around the face is designed for low/high spin and distance. (bang golf, tour edge exotics cb, any multi-material drivers as such)

much like checking a forged irons loft, should loft change in the face be an issue with a driver design like this? should it be checked?

ive also heard of drivers losing their lust and power because of the many times being hit.

This website explains what semi-forging is.  The industry name is "warm" forging and I'm guessing from what I read here drivers would be warm forged.

explains the process on a industrial level but in a golf sense does not really help.

a little too complicated for an already complicated game

It's good to know that semi-forging is a process invented by metallurgists , and not the marketing dept.

understandable

just curious if the face will lose its "hot" sensation or even change loft.
