Got my new irons (Wilson d9 forged) and had the first round yesterday with them. Noticed after there’s a weird light coloured mark on the corner of my pw face. Anyone know what this could be and if it’s just cosmetic? It doesn’t seem to want to wipe off. Wasn’t sure if it’s just a mark from the factory bending the lie angle etc?

That’s what I’m hoping to do. Just wondered if there’s any reason or explanation what it could be?

I mean it could be so many different things.

It could be from a small pebble.

Could be from some grains of sand.

Could be from it hitting another club in your bag as it bounced in the cart. 

Could be a blemish from the factory.

I say don't worry about it and enjoy the clubs. They're going to get dinged up.

There's a small scratch to the right of your circle too. I'm sure if you looked at your other clubs under bright lighting you'd see blemishes already too.

I have those irons. In fact they are back in the bag as we speak. I sent my brand new Titleist's back, the back of the 9 and 7 irons were peeling, like a poor job at the electro-platers or something. I don't mind if I bang up a set of 1000 dollar irons but I'll be damned if they come out of the box dinged up. Those are nice irons you have there, I have had zero complaints from them KBS Max Lite shafts for my smooth and easy old man swing. I only bought the Titleist's because I wanted them. Also sent the bag, Vokey's back as well. F-them. 3-SW Wilson Staff. I should update my signature thing.

Yeah they’re lovely irons! I’m assuming that marks just been a blemish and it’s nothing to worry about or peeling like you say.

Looks like a manufacturing defect. If you care about it you can probably send it back. Even if you don’t care, they might want to know about it.

I wouldn’t bother sending it back but I’d just like peace of mind that the clubs ok and it’s just a factory scuff etc.

On that I’m sure it’s fine. Looks cosmetic to me.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
