gave it some thought.... can''t think of anything cast that could be forged being better as cast.....

Hmmmm...........cast metal can often have a course grain structure and stress that can make it difficult to work and makes its mechanical properties less homogeneous.

Forging takes a piece of metal (which has already been cast and possibly rolled), heats it, and beats it. The more work that goes into the metal, the better......to I say forged is better.

Whe it comes to golf irons cast is definitely more forgiving.

Forgings are always more expensive and not always required. For example in pistons below 5500 rpm casting are just fine and wheels? Unless you are racing castings are just fine too. Unless, of course you have more money to blow then you could get titanium, magnesium or even unobtainium or whatever your budget will allow.

forged material can be be machined to a more precise tolerance.

right in my wheelhouse. Forged is harder but lots of uses for casting as well.
