    scratches on driver face? normal?
    Is it normal to have scratches on the face of the driver? I have a cleveland launcher comp and noticed a lot of small scratches on it's face ... have been using it for about 15 rounds of golf now. I thought titanium was hard!

    Thanks!

    i dont know if it is normal, but i would like to know the answer too because i have played about 20 rounds with my new tm r580 xd and have 2 or 3 quite large scratches on the face. i also seem to have one scratch on the face of my wilson staff fws 3 wood, someone please tell me if its normal!

    Very normal if you are hitting balls that have any sand on them...even miniscule specks of sand will scrape the face. Titanium is hard, but if you are hitting sand with it at 100+ mph you are going to scratch it. I avoid range balls like the plague after torturing the face of my old Titleist with it...they are the worst.

    sucks i have a few scratches on my r5 dual driver, but my old dunlop no problem with a titanium face which i beat like a dead horse has no flaws whatsoever.

    Titanium scratches. I have a titanium watch. The band has a broad clasp at the bottom and I got a lot of scratches on that watch clasp.
