There is a line on the custom section on 'craftsmans marks' - which is the wrinkling that can happen when you bend clubs. It didn't occur to me that it applied to the Fli-Hi as well as the irons.....just had to educate myself. Was aware of it on irons. Unfortunately because we bend at the point of assembly, any painting / plating has already happened at that point - hence the disclaimer.
So by letter of law it most likely wouldn't have been exchanged. Has created a discussion here.

Loft and Lie adjustment
Mizuno irons can be adjusted to varying degrees depending on model and material type. In some cases “craftsman’s” marks on the hosels may result from bending them to the required loft / lie.
Any adjustment to loft will alter the bounce angle on the sole. Making the loft stronger will increase the offset and reduce the bounce angle.
Iron lofts can be bent up to 2 degrees stronger than standard (note: making the loft stronger will increase the offset and reduce the bounce angle of the sole).
No loft or lie adjustments can be made to drivers or fairway woods.
No loft angle adjustment is possible for JPX919 Hot Metal, JPX919 Hot Metal Pro, JPX Fli-Hi and Hybrid models.
