You can feel anything you want. I can feel anything i want. I can feel that the earth is flat, the sun will not set, etc... It does not make it right, but I can feel that way. You did not say YOU can feel it. Your words were, forged has grain and that is what you feel.

No, my words were: "...it's that grain that makes the difference" (I guess your "Quote" feature doesn't work) and it's that grain which allows vibration to travel more efficiently, thus telegraphing a more precise feel throughout the clubhead.

If this is not true, then why did I not care for either the Vokey or the Cleveland wedges?

When I was using them, I had no idea that either were made from castings, I thought that they were forged because all of the hype I was hearing about "soft feel" and all that jazz. But after using both for about half a season, I still couldn't get the feel I was after and the "clicky-ness" was driving me crazy, so I shopped around for some different heads and ended up with some Golfsmith forged heads (not the ones I have now) and they felt great.

It wasn't until a few months later that I found out that both the Vokey and the Cleveland were cast clubs and then I thought to myself, "No wonder they felt different!"...now it all made sense.

So how do you suppose that the only two cast clubs I bought turned out to be the only two clubs that didn't feel right to me? How do you think I came to abandon both of them if not for noticing a difference between them and what I was used to?

Gee, could it be that I could feel the difference?

Hmmm...

How do you think I came to abandon both of them if not for noticing a difference between them and what I was used to? Gee, could it be that I could *feel* the difference? Hmmm... -JP
