Golfware Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Holy smokes. Just can't decide which two of these beauties is the best looking. If only TM would release the Burner Forged in Japan!! Well thankfully Callaway finally release the Diablo Forged to us!! Yahoo! 2010 will be the year of the Forged iron! Current bag: Some Callaway, some Cleveland. Down to 2 OEM's!

Everyone is hoping they will be done in one of the forging houses in Japan, but more than likely they will come out of China since that is where their heads are manufactured today.

It's really tough to understand the emotion behind the comment and if one is just playing or joking so Pleas don't think I'm picking on anyone at all. I just don't get it when people rip other OEM's when pretty much their all pretty good and it's all just opinions, As we can see from week to week on the PGA Tour these guys can play with any OEM and be successful.

jamo Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 VERY insightful. Care to elaborate? It's quite simple: I've had good experience with Taylor Made clubs, and not so good experiences with Ping. I like how Taylor Made pushes the envelope with technology, while Ping seems content to make each club just a tiny but different than the last. I'm not saying that is bad, just not what I prefer.
