r7 Superquad Wear and Tear?

[MasterOfTheBogey]

I have the r7 425 now, but havent played in two years and am looking to re-vitalize my bag.

Was wondering if anyone has had problems with the bottoms of the driver wearing out. Its a great looking club, but that black finish on the bottom gets me nervous.

Was wondering how fast the finish fades or if it even does at all. I am a range rat aswell, and we all know that those mats arent as forgiving as Kentucky Blue. Any information about this I would certainly be grateful.

At this point its a toss up between the Cobra Speed Pro and the Superquad, only question in the equation is the wear on the bottom of the club.

I had the same concern. I've had my SQ for about 3 months now and it's in excellent shape. The bottom and face are holding up nicely, but I'm not one to take practice swings and hit the ground (only accidentally). It has never hit a mat although I've used it off the mats (I use a tee adapter instead of the white rubber tees).

I've seen many in the 'used' barrel that were not in good shape. Some of those clubs took a beating, so I suppose it's really up to you. If you hit your driver fat, take divots during your practice swings then, yes, you can expect it'll scratch.
