I was really excited, as I'm going golfing for the first time this year tomorrow. Upon unpacking the club I noticed 2 fairly big chips on the white paint, as-well as a few other black dots/chips.

It's not a huge issue, but I'm the type of person who takes pride in keeping things I have in tip top shape. I dunno what to do. I live in Canada up north, so if I sent it back I would be out of a club for at least a month.

Do you think I'm making a mountain out if a mole hill? Or should I just bite the bullet and send it back? I mean the club was not cheap @ $200US.

Was the head and grip still wrapped when you received it?  If not, I'd send it back, as it was probably used and returned.  If you're paying for a new club you should receive a new club.

Not at all. I have bought several used clubs that had no chips on them and If i got a new club that was dinged up Id be on the phone yelling at someone demanding they pay for an overnite of a new one.

Secondly paint for a club is kind of like a buffer. When it is intact it does a very good job keeping water and humidity out. When there is a hole, id does the opposite and can actually trap moisture and humidity under the paint causing rust. You dont want a $200 dollar club to only last you a few seasons so send her back and get one that aint broke.

You paid good $$ for the product (assuming that it was supposed to be new as it was not stated); if the defects you describe fall short of your expectations, then you need to call Golfsmith.  Perhaps a few pics could be sent to bolster your claim, and together with your explanation of wanting to use it very soon plus your concern of a lengthy exchange process, you might able to receive a credit adjustment and just keep the club.

You can always ask...

Yeah, good point

It never hurts to ask

Thanks for all the replies,as I think I will be sending it back. As it was NEW, not USED.

      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.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
