1468.3They're all doing it!!LUDWIG::TREMBLAYThu Mar 05 1992 02:365
    Most major golf companies have come out with a forged cavity back
    (perimeter weighted) club.  Tom Watson does an ad for the Ram version
    and I've been seeing more and more of them in component catalogs as
    well.

1468.4Is it a soft cast?DPDMAI::VENEZIOPerfect Practice Makes PerfectThu Mar 05 1992 12:2910
    Re: -1
    
    I'd like to know more about the component catalogs that offer a forged
    cavity back iron head. I've only seen "soft cast" as an option. I'd be
    interested in seeing how expensive they are.
    
    Don't be fooled in thinking soft cast is a forging. Forging is a far
    cry from casting and generally in the $25/head range.

1468.5Techni-Forge nice looking club!JUPITR::TODDThu Mar 05 1992 12:539
    
    	Golfworks offers a cavity backed, forged head, toe & heel 
    	weighted.  Its called the "techni-forge", however, they have 
    	been delayed until the end of July for whatever reasons.  I 
    	was intending to order these 2-9, at $29.95 per head, tack on a 
    	decent shaft and nice grip it came to $31.80 ($254.00) per club 
    	constructed.
    
    	back to the drawing board...

Ken,

	Also the Roby-Toski line has forged perimeter weighted heads.  I tried
to get a distributorship when Iwas in Vermont, but a friend of mine got there
first.

BTW I posted this in "the other conference", how come I haven't heard from you
