I understand, that the paint will eventually wear off due to use but I wouldn't expect it to happen this soon. Also, I've never had this happen to any of my other irons I have owned. I take very good care of my clubs. I clean them after every round and keep club covers on them and this irritates me to no end to have the paint coming off.

What's you guys' take on this? and Mizuno's stance as to not doing anything about it?

I tried finding an email contact to their USA corporate, but was unable to find anything.

Thanks,

Robert
It's not Mizuno's fault the paint is coming off.

That works pretty good, FYI, I've noticed that some paint from a company called Games Workshop works well.

Well your friend is incorrect, and needs to take better care of his irons. I've played about...100 rounds, at least, with my 33s, and almost no perceivable change. Before I owned them, Sling had them, as well as Rock.

The paint is a fluke, as the paint in my irons is still pristine. Just gotta take care of your stuff, when it comes to wear and tear.
