Hey guys,

I've been chatting with a few members on here about the new McGregor ProM irons and gunmetal clubs in general. The clubs are probably three months old and have held up well and I am enjoying them. I am only curious about one thing... there appears to be a strange white finish on the clubhead grooves. It doesn't affect the playability in any way but at times I can notice the white "residue" before hitting shots, especially with my shorter irons. Has anyone experienced this reaction in the finish in any of their gunmetal finished clubs or the actual McGregors. Also, any suggestions for clearing this up...

So far I have tried a food grade silicone lubricant but it has not cleared up.

I have attached a detailed shot of the clubface to show everyone exactly what it is I am talking about

Zero experience with this on clubs. I however have seen this on weapons. It is either the silicone or a packing grease, (ie. cosmoline) I use a dry release that contains Teflon and it causes the same result. The product is oxygenating in use and causing the build up. If it keeps up switch to some WD40 or the like, it will clear it up.

I used the silicone spray after the clubface started to "cloud" up... hmm, this is strange

Have you tried using scotch brite pads and cleaning it off? or is it a stain of some sort?

I'm not entirely sure what it is... when I clean my clubs they look perfect but as soon as they dry the white finish comes through again.

I dont have your irons but could the white residue be something that rubs of golf balls because after I gp to the range my irons look just like that.

Have you tried Mr. Clean's Magic Erasers? Those things work freaky good on all sorts of stuff. Like Scotch Brite pads, but without the scratching. I'm pretty sure they use alien technology . . . or are made from aliens. One or the other.
