Cavity-back or Forged?

photo credit: Brian J. McDermott Cavity-back clubs, in the scheme of golf's long and illustrious history, are a relatively new invention. The weight is distributed around the perimeter of the clubhead, which is more forgiving for off-center hits. What this means is, if you don't hit all your shots on the “sweet spot,” you should be using Cavity-back irons.
A Forged club has all of the clubhead mass centered, they are more suitable for better players who are able to shape their shots. More distance is another important consideration when forged clubs are used. In general, forged clubs are much more difficult to use for the average player. Before cavity-back clubs were invented, everyone used forged clubs which were all that was available.
