Why doesn't Titleist manufacture any forged wedges anymore? Other than price? And before anyone tells me you can't tell the difference between forged and cast, you're wrong, because you can.

We asked Bob Vokey the question regarding forged vs cast and this was his reply:
We use 8620 carbon steel that can be used in forged clubs and we cast it because we can build the wedge more precisely. It allows us to produce complex features and grinds, and we can control the weight better. Vokey wedges are number one on Tour and as Pros, they can play any wedge they choose. The fact that they choose Vokey wedges is a pretty good recommendation.
