Adjusting Forged vs. Cast Irons

[Pretzel]

Yes, but generally for shaft stiffness, length and grip. The lie angle is not easy to do with a lot of cast clubs except at the factory. I am guessing that they use a really strong machine that somehow does not work harden*** the material. In some cases, they have different heads cast in 2 degree increments, and you would special order them. ***This is an undesirable process where it weakens the metal by "working it" beyond the standard stress levels.

PING literally beats them with a hammer, then throws away the ones that break in manufacture. They do design the hosel to bend more easily than their older designs though.

I wonder how much it costs them a year to throw away the ones they break.

Not very much. I was there this summer, they don't break many hosels.

That's why they have the little cut out in the hosel. It lets them bend easier than, say, the eye 2's.

Very cool.

I'd hate to think so much fine material would go to waste, haha!
