I'll add the 2009 Tour Preferred...even though to my eye the head size was perhaps a tad larger than "player" it looked good and performed nicely. Great evolution of the RAC LT/R7 TP.

 

S56 also a good looker and performer.

 

Played the 09' TP Irons they felt nice for a cast club.

Wanted to spark some opinions on the 'best cast not forged players club". 

 

My bias and favorite is the Ping iBlade.  

IIRC, this is the third season on my iBlades.  KBS Tour 120 shafts from Ping.  Picked them up used, but pristine.  They were in the bag for most of the 200+ rounds last year.  Have played quite a few sets of forged clubs over they years.  The iBlades, for me, perform as good or better than most of them.

Titleist 962b

[Stinger83]

I'd vote iblade. i play it as a forgiving 4i and it's very easy to hit for it's shape 

[rockhound100bopd]

I played the taylormade rocketblazes tour for 5 years, really like them.

[rxk9fan]

i210 of course.

My first was the Tommy Armour Silver Scott 845's...Really a solid club!

[Mookie91]

Love my Hot Metal Pros even though the lofts put it in the player’s distance category.  But the I210s do come in power spec as well

Thanks for the comments.  I'm still gaming my iblades, but wanted to see other's comments. Thanks a bunch. 

[tobiasjd]

Love the iBlades.

BGD series 1 are cast and $325 for 4-PW.

The i210 probably... i also thought the callaway mavrik pro were not that bad... the lofts are strong but they can be weakened.

I picked up a set of RBZ Tour "F" heads last year at the start of COVID and really like them.  I recently "satinized' them and they look amazing. Because of their SS construction, they still look almost new and I have easily 30 rounds on them.

[Yuck]

Still gaming S55’s.  Pretty darn forgiving, but profile is not huge.

[jplroper]

Took the 845's out for a round yesterday, they where working well. I like the Tour Step shaft that comes with them, little lighter than DG s300's.

Titleist 962b, Ping s55, Taylormade R9 TP B, Cleveland CG16 tour are all great choices. Considering my avatar, shouldn’t be difficult to surmise which one I favor 😀

Yeah, hard to beat those in your avatar 

[nikeblades00]

Taylormade p770s feel damn good, might have forged face but overall cast,  also the Rogue pro irons are very underated.

Something that I’ve always wondered is why so many pros play Vokey wedges that are cast when there are forged irons out there? Does cast get a bad rap?

 Cast feel is far less noticeable at higher lofts due to the glancing, high-spin face interaction.

There is no such thing as "cast feel"; it is all about sound. If you put noise cancelling headphones on the greatest golfers in the world, they could not discern the hardest casting from the softest forging.

Regardless, sound is “feel”, and it matters to many, MANY a golfer. Also, just between you and I, most folks play without earplugs, lol!

My votes are TM R7 tp and Ping S55. Both awesome

Not to play Debbie Downer, but it looks like a  Chinese P7TW clone that skipped the counterfeiting process in favor of “new” branding.

How is that being a Debbie Downer? It says right in the description that it's taken from the P7TW. Not like they are trying to pass them off as revolutionary or anything.

 

They are a nice cast blade for $500.

I meant the molds may have started out life as a counterfeit Chinese P7TW, and are now being repurposed, sans TMAG logo.
