     Golf clubs are eye-candy for gearheads……. eye-candy for real men is girlheads.

     Gearheads only fall in love with the fancy backs of the irons and the pretty graphics on the shafts. Even grips are getting fancy treatment with multi-colors. Golf clubs are so eye-catching nowadays and make one proud to own a set of beautiful weapons.

   Love the wicked channels on the back of the Miura irons. I bet they work wonders for off center impact and looks great for WITB.
   Only thing that bothers me is the hosels being welded to the club body for Miura irons. Obviously cheaper to forge the body and weld on the hosel with a messy weld bead filled with strange grain patterns.
   Oh well… sell the Miura, not the steak …..

     Spin welding leaves no weld beads in addition spin welding by design is the most accurate way to have absolutely precise offset, alignment and hosel placement across an entire production run. Why do you need uniform grain structure in a hosel? Spin welding layers metal on metal and the metal is bonded via high pressure friction. You should look into the process, Miura has released alot of media about the process itself.

       But that forged ‘buttery feeel’ of impact must be transmitted through the hosel into the shaft and into the golfer’s hands.
       Does that mean a discontinuous grain welding bead can effectively transmit that ‘feeel’….. and if so what’s the use of having a forged clubhead when it is disconnected by a ‘spin weld’ from the hosel and shaft?
       Isn’t it Mizuno who brag about their “grain flow” forging process from the toe to the heel to the end of the hosel?
       So which is superior… a complete and uniform forging or a no-hosel forging with a welded steel tube for the hosel?

         Good point….. and are golf clubs “hot” forged or only cast steel given a “cold forged” nominal stamping so they can be labelled “forged”? There is a world of difference between hot and cold forging with the latter being much cheaper because it does not “form” forge the club head; it only affects the surface of the club head.
         Ignorant golfers can be so easily scammed to believe they have something special in their clubs.

           And then there are ‘fake-forged’ clubs like TMs P-790 with a thin ‘roll’ forged faceplate and the rest of the clubhead is a cheap steel casting.
