Takomisesta:
A clubhead manufacturing process that involves heating the metal and hammering (forging) it into the shape of the desired clubhead. Forged irons are usually made of soft carbon steel and, therefore, will provide more “feel” to the player and will usually generate more spin on the ball.
Valamisesta:
Most cast irons and woods are produced of 17-4 and 4-31 stainless steel; common investment cast alloys that have been used in aerospace applications for years. ’These alloys’ principal benefit is high strength in a stainless composition,’ said Raymond Monroe, executive director, Steel Founders’ Society of America, Barrington, Illinois. ’In golf equipment, high strength gives high hardness, which transmits the maximum energy from the club to the ball, making the ball go further.’
