Hey guys and gals,
I have Nike Forged Blade irons and have had them for a few years. All of a sudden, the black paint for the nike swoosh on the back of the club head is coming off. There is still and indentation where it used to be, but it is silver to mach the rest of the club. I have tried a number of different paints and markers to fill the spot in, but everything wears off fairly quickly. Has anyone ever had experience touching up worn lettering or something similar? I could really use some help to try and fix the problem. Thanks for the help.

I read in a thread here somewhere that a high quality paint used for model airplanes and cars works well - something you can get in a hobby shop. Never tried it though

Yeah, go to a hobby shop and get a quality paint. I've had good luck w/the Tamiya paints (rumor has it this is the same paint used by Scotty Cameron and others, not sure if I buy that though). Be sure to prep the area well before painting. Clean it real good with alcohol or, better yet, acetone (fingernail polish remover) and let it sit until thoroughly dry (5-10 minutes). Fill the impression with paint and let dry. Go back later w/more acetone on a cloth and clean up any excess. If you really want to do a great job, get a #2 needle applicator as well.

I use model paint and apply it with a toothpick... works nicely. I've got the same irons and don't worry about spilling paint on them... just fill the swoosh and later take the toothpick and scratch off the excess paint from the back of the blade.

Cool tips. The black paint from the engraved Titleist logo on my irons has chipped away over the years. Nothing vital, I'm just picky about the way my stuff looks. Glad I can admit that here and not get mocked hahah

Anyone who has used the Tamiya Black, would you recommend the flat black or the semi-gloss?

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
