Hello!

I am new to golf so please forgive my ignorance! I recently purchased a new set of golf clubs, Nike Vapor Flys, and hit them for the first time today. As I was running through the irons I noticed the club was "peeling" shown in the picture below. I am hoping someone here can tell me if this is a common occurrence with new clubs. Again I am new to golf and this is the first set of clubs I have owned. If its not common, should I take them back to the store or contact Nike? Thank you in advance for all your help!

Looks like a film protecting the clubhead is what's peeling. You should remove that before you start using your clubs.

Most range mats do that to the bottom of your clubs.  Nothing to worry about, just scrub it off.

PS - see if there's an area with grass instead.  Might as well practice hitting off what you'll be playing on (I.e. Grass).  A little easier on the joints/wrists as well (to me anyway)

Yup! Looks like he left a protective film on the club! Heck, I have a buddy who leaves the "wraparound" price stickers on his clubs. Never takes them off. We call him Minnie Pearl! The older folks among us will understand the reference!

I have a couple of clubs I never bothered to take the stickers off of. :whistle:

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
