Bag Wear?

[Davie81]

I wipe my clubs down after every round and I’ve noticed today that I’ve got some what appears to be scratches or rub marks on a few or my iron shafts. I’ve been carrying in a ping hoofer bag.

Does this appear to just be rub marks and wear and tear from taking the clubs in/out or is there something sinister? I don’t want to weaken the shafts but surely a stand bag can’t cause that much damage?

It looks like the chrome finish just got worn off a bit. I would just put a piece of tap around it and call it day 😉. 

I highly doubt that this would be an issue outside of lacking protection from rust.

Thanks, any idea what can cause this? There’s a few bits like this going up the shaft with maybe 3 marks like this. It’s the same on maybe 3 other clubs.

No idea. 

The wear marks look like the club was rotating against something. It doesn't look like it is caused by pulling the club out. It might be more from them in the bag, and the clubs being moved around, which they tend to rotate because the clubhead's mass gets moving. You could take all the clubs out and try to shine a light in the bag to see if anything is sticking out that causes this?

I’ve checked the other irons and it’s got it on 3 or 4 other clubs. I’m assuming it’s because they’re rotating in the bag and moving around. I’ll just put it down to wear and tear if it won’t affect anything.
