  1. Interesting one Mark. How about repeating the video for us but without the
    gloves but identical grips? Would this then show if the “feel” is through
    the hands and if you could feel the difference between forged/cast,
    blades/cavity etc

  2. Respect and awe – damned if i could hit the ball if i couldn’t see it –
    love the hat – absolutely love the video – no you won’t feel the difference
    as its all in the micro grain structure – the forged club is tougher, think
    forged samurai sword versus cast railings but, i cant see many golfers
    imparting enough force to initiate brittle fracture in a small casting –
    something I am sure Ping researched very carefully before marketing :-)

  3. Great “scientific” test. When you hit it in the sweet spot it will “feel”
    soft whether it’s forged or cast. When you hit off the heel or toe, it
    feels less solid because there is less material in that part of the club
    head and will feel equally bad whether it’s cast or forged. However golf is
    a mental game so plays whatever’s gives you more confidence, even if it’s
    just a placebo effect

  4. Mark I remember reading Ping did something similar when they brought out
    clubs in the past. They reckoned even Tour pros couldn’t tell the
    difference between cast and forged. Although try telling that to the
    average 24 handicapper on GolfWRX who has to have forged blades with no
    offset so he can “work the ball”.

  5. the gloves would kill any feel i imagine. wonder if you would suss 2 makes
    with similar grips? then again i dont think i wanna hear you squealing
    anymore!

  6. great videos mark! I have a question for you about my swing. i kind of have
    a driver swing with my irons where i lower my right shoulder when i start
    my downswing, also i tend to come a lot from the inside. i push my hips
    forward and left which i think causes this. do you have a dill with which i
    can stabilize my hips in the downswing to hit more consistent shots? love
    the videos, keep it up!!

  7. I used to have Burner 2.0 and now have RBZ’s The RBZ’s while still a cast
    club feel/sound a lot less outrageously like a cast club. The RBZ sound is
    a lot duller than the Burner 2.0’s were. I think if you used the 2.0’s up
    against the titleist you might have found a difference.
