I just bought a set of R7 draw irons to replace my RAC OS's. These R7's are scratching ridiculously easy. I have only used them 3 times. And its not just from hitting shots, but from bouncing around and hitting each other in my bag as well. They already look much worse than my RAC OS's that are over a year old.

Anyone else notice this? An recommendations on buffing the scratches out? I think I might sell them and get some non-draw clubs. They only have a few uses and look like crap. I don't wanna lose out on some essentially brand new irons.

I dont know if u should blame it all on tmade, they make excellent clubs that last long, maybe you have not been taking care of them or hit each other harder than you thought

I'm not blaming anything on Taylor made. I don't know where you got that from. I currently have 2 sent of irons, both Taylor Made. The ones that have countless uses look better than the ones that have been used 3 times. It doesnt make any sense.

Call Tmade and ask them about it, it may be just a flaw in the clubs.

If they have wonderful customer service, maybe they will do something about it.

Yea, I've decided that too. Thats why I want to sell the R7's.

Thats good to hear. I will give it a shot.

Oh for heaven's sake. As if.....

In case you didn't know, irons bash against each other and scratch. after 3 rounds most of them look 5 years old. So what? Who cares? Wrap them up in bubble wrap and put a sock over them.

I know that irons aren't going to look brand new for very long. All that I'm trying to get across (for the 3rd time) is that my TM RAC OS irons that are a year old look better than than the R7's that barely have 1 full round on them. It doesn't make much sense.

And for you information, I care. I want to resell them and they look like crap with almost no use.

I have played both sets of TM...my son has my old OS set now...I agree the OS irons seam to hold up better...but they also weigh near twice as much....I like the R7's because of their feel, I hit the OS farther, but my miss hits were more offline with the OS irons. Stick with what you like!

Always wondered about that. I have old dull Pings and they look the same all the time no matter how much they're hit and bounced around.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
