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.

    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
