Question for those playing JPX919 tour irons. Is the paintwork on your irons flaking off like it is in this picture?

The attached picture is my 8 iron 1 month after purchase. I’ve sent them back to Mizuno and they have deemed this to be normal and acceptable wear and tear damage.

I’m just curious if everyone else’s look like this?

If so, it comes off easy if you clean the clubs with a hard brush. I brushed all mine off in a few weeks using a wire wool brush because I hate paint!!!

Thanks for the reply. Yes I think we are talking about the same thing here. I’m struggling to upload the photo. Trying again now.

Mine are the same....not sure how to describe the area other than in your photo to the left of the “Tour” text. Portion below across the clubs is okay (for now) I think. Won’t look great when I come to sell them! Not sure what’s caused it....bag chatter/clatter maybe?

Maybe I’ll try scrubbing it off....but worried I could easily make it worse!

Hi Dan ... My 919 set came off the Tour Van - They never had the paint finish that the retail version had & look much nicer "au naturel" imho (?)

yes. I’m worried about that too. Also worried about scrubbing the word “tour” off in the process. I do think it was a mistake putting that paint on that would flake off so quickly. It could be bag chatter but I really didn’t play that many rounds. I bought them in winter, not playing many rounds and this happened 30 days after purchasing them. I do think I would like them better though if that paint could be taken off and I didn’t make it worse.

It comes off if you brush it with a bristle brush in warm water when cleaning them. I scrubbed it off using fine wire wool polisher attachment. TBF I did same with MP25s. Like I said, hate paint

Did the word “tour” also come off or did that stay when you did this? I don’t suppose you have a photo you could upload? Thanks

Certainly better than mine Paul which look like they have a disease!
