Don't get too used to that beautiful finish; it won't last. I had only finished my first bucket at the range when I noticed the finish being worn on the sole and face of each iron. Now that I have played 10 rounds with them the faces are bare of the original finish as are the soles. Taylormade Rocketballz RBZ Driver This does not affect play at all. You cannot see the marks at address; only when the irons are upright in the bag. It is just a shame that Callaway didn't follow in the footsteps of other makers and assure that this finish lasted.In addition these irons are a real challenge to dial in.

Go into them knowing that they are going to be MUCH longer. This will mean rethinking things, believe me. I was hitting my X-20 7 iron about 145 to 150. I hit the new 7 iron solidly 155 with ease and can push it up to 160. On my first par 3 with the new irons, a 148 yarder with a slight wind in my face, out of habit I pulled the 7.
