Golf Iron Myth You Cant Feel

Golfers spend thousands chasing that elusive "buttery soft" forged iron feel, but are you just falling for a massive golf equipment myth? In this video, we strip away the big-brand marketing to find out whether there is actually a difference between forged blades and cavity-back irons, or if you are paying for an illusion.

We took 30 golfers, from 20+ handicappers to scratch pros, and put them through a strict blind test with no vision or sound to isolate the true feel of a golf club. The results are eye-opening and might completely change how you buy golf clubs.
