Forged irons provide a good hitting feel, which is one of their characteristics. Because the head is made of soft iron, the ball sticks to the face during impact, extending the impact time and enhancing mobility, and cast irons are known for their long flight distance and great straightness. Casting has a greater flight distance than soft iron forging because it is constructed of hard materials like stainless steel and stainless alloys and has a high coefficient of restitution.
