ukok Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I have been playing the Titleist VG3 irons for a few months (A1+ condition when purchased) and have noticed that the amount of dings and marks on the club head are significantly more than my previous irons at such an early stage of use. My previous irons which were all one piece forgings and in in no particular order, Miura MB 5003, Epon AF-501, Yamaha Inpress Tour and Fourteen TC-770 all looked relatively unmarked after such a short period of use. If i was to compare the VG3's against my very old and used Fourteen's and well used Yamaha's, I would say the VG3's are the most used. As my previous irons were all soft forged, I would have thought the opposite to be the case. I would stress that, I am only refering to the dings and pings associated with using the clubs, the manufacture and finish of the clubs is top notch. Any thoughts?

gocchin Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Where are the dings exactky? I have a set as well and they keep as well as my V forged did. They body and face and neck of the VG3 are also forged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They body and face and neck of the VG3 are also forged. Mainly where you would expect, bottom of face edge and sole but significantly more than usual. I was thinking maybe the density of the forging but then again, I just may be unlucky on this occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 If it's on the body, it has nothing to do with it being made of multi parts. If it's on the face It has to do with what the face material is made from. Your finding is interesting because both myself and T have the VG3's and I personally haven't noticed a difference.

My VG3's have performed and held up and look pristine after 10 rounds. No difference...much better with the nippon 1050s than the stock DG200's. But no difference to other forgings.
