"I don't watch the market closely, but my impression is that companies that had virtually abandoned this market segment are coming back to it with new offerings.'

I thought my disclaimer implied that I didn't have imperical data, just my impression. However, Adams for sure didn't have a players iron until this year, Callaway didn't offer (or at least advertise) that they had any forged clubs, Wilson just brought back their forged blade, Cobra never advertised their forged version of the S2 until this year's catalogs... those are all impressions from my browsing through the number of catalogs I get from different outlets.

I think you and I can just agree to disagree on the virtues of playing GI/SGI versus the advantages of playing a less forgiving club. That falls to personal preference. I am just heartened to see the club manufacturers finally trying to serve my segment of the market.
I agree that we disagree on the pros and cons of playing them, but I also think that Callaway, etc advertised their players irons just as much before as they do now. There are just many more "media" outlets now and more are paying attention to the different styles via forums and the internet.
