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 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
