Wear....

[Titleist Man]

Ok so iv had my irons since late march.... couldn't play them till mid april cause of th snow....ALREADY the 8 and PW hav spots on the face worn down to the bare metal about th size of a nickel..... (other irons(9,7,6) have spots th size of a dime) right where i hit all my shots.... this happened to my old irons as well.... isnt <6 months a little bit early for this type of wear?? Any idea how to stop it? thanks

ur saying the grooves of your PW and 8 iron are already worn down...?

Sounds unlikely. Entertain us with a picture if true

I think many (?most) "specialty" finishes such as gunmetal, oil-can, etc will wear off the face quickly, esp if you practice a lot at the range -- it has nothing to do with the groove performance, just cosmetics. My Cleveland CG14 wedges and my Oil Can Vokey gap wedge all show this -- I just wish my spots were only dime-sized like yours, as my swing is obviously more sloppy because i'm looking at a quarter or half-dollar spot!

i'm not sure what finish your wegdes are though, and your Mizuno's are probably shiny chrome i'd imagine....so i may be way off base...

My clubs have the same spots. It's nothing big, just wear on the finish from the ball.
