I also don't understand why a lot of amateur golfers use forged player irons (blades). In my opinion, you really shouldn't be using forged irons unless you're a 4 handicap or lower.

It's funny...when I ask my friends (handicap > 4) why they use forged irons, they usually reply, "yeah, I know they're harder to hit, but when you hit it pure, it feels really good". Well, when I pure my thick-soled Nike slingshots, it feels really good too. And when I chunk or blade my shots, they feel pretty good too.

WHY? WHY? WHY???

these are probably the same people that think they can hit the ball 300 yards but can't. on a side note i have a friend named eugene chang in new york.

Forged has nothing to do with it; it's just the process by which the club is made. They have forged game imrovement irons. I play forged cavity backs and I am not a 4 or better. All forged clubs are not blades, but why someone would play a blade without having to is beyond me.
