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.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • 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
