benedict the club brand at end of video is a Vega and not KZG.. I saw this video before and think its the Kyoei Forging House see http://www.golftoimpress.com/kyoei-zestaim-the-japanese-art-of-forging-irons/
Are Vegas and KZG irons forged from this same company that made the video?

KZG and Vega are separate companies with different designs, processes, etc. However, they do come out of the same foundry (the foundry made this video). There are only so many foundries vs. a lot of golf companies so almost all foundries produce for mulitiple companies (even for the big OEMs).

Understand most top jap brands are forged in Japan by Kyoei Forging Co ie Vegas, Zestaims, Gauge, Yururi, JL, Kyoei Golf and Golds as per above vid; other JDM brands like Scratch are forged in Ishihara-Shoten in Hemiji Japan , Mizunos in the Chuo forging house , Miuras by Miura itself...
Hv seen the KZG website no indication on where their forgings are done ... alot of heresay that KZG was reputed to be using Kyoei – though they never revealed their sources even when googled extensively...
I followed a thread on Golf WRX on ppl checking on where KZGs are forged but also non conclusive... http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/550745-kzg-forged-in-japan/
BroSlicer51, where did u get info that KZGs are forged at Kyoei, Japan (the video attached on first post) Can share?

Do not need to be humble. I am more afraid from those humble player than those whom claimed to be good player hahaha
KZG as same as all brand that come with different type of model.The most forgiving model to better player irons.
If you like to try, pm me.
