Hey everyone, saw this great video by Mizuno Golf, they went to the forging factory in Japan and gave us a behind the scenes look at how their grain flow forged clubs are manufactured, very cool. as if we don't appreciate mizuno iron's enough, this is an awesome video!

Yup! very cool, it's called YORO Japan Crafted and it's pure Mizuno iron customization.. but from the looks of it, it's very $$$$$$

Thanks for sharing this interesting video. The steps looks to be still very manually run. Maybe some of the sword making heritage is there.
