The transition from cast cavity-backs to forged blades
I was swapping over golf-bags at the weekend and picked up some irons from my previous set (Callaway X16s). When I bought the forged set, 18 months ago, I remember thinking, “Blimey, these have really small/thin heads, I’m not sure I’m good enough to be able to hit a ball with these”. After picking up the X16s at the weekend, I was thinking, “Blimey, these are huge – how could I ever hit a ball with these!”.
Chalk and cheese.

I'm in the same boat, I currently have a set of Mizuno MP60's and a set of Callaway x14 pro series. Love the MP60's but been using the x14's recently as I'm working on some changes and my ball striking has been pitiful until I get used to what I'm working on.

I've only ever changed from forged to cast once... I learnt to play golf with a set of Wilson forged blades, then When I was about 17/18 I decided to move from playing Mizuno TP-9s to a set of Titleist DCI 962s. That experiment lasted about 3 weeks!

I have never got used to the larger heads; give me small anyday. TBH, a mishit is a mishit is a mishit; I don't see much merit in (maybe) fooling myself with a GI head that I'm actually hitting it OK.

I haven't switched back to c-b, D4S. I just picked one up as I was swapping golf-bags. I don't think I'll go back to c-bs before I'm 70.
