Subject: Rusty irons
hi
Had to return a three month old set of irons that went rusty on the
blades[previous message about two months ago]
Now replaced I need to remember how to prevent it forming again.
I dry the clubs and stand them out of the damp but I have in the past
left the iron covers on!
Ihis was probably a mistake but need the do's and don'ts re club
caring.
Can you wipe a thin film of grease on the blade in the winter to
protect it? I guess you can,just wondered if anyone had done
it.Cheers.

I've bought a set of Mizuno MP-32s and rust spots began to appear in about a
month. I DID put iron covers on them and later I found out the covers were
the cause for the rust.

Don't use covers on forged irons!

If you have properly manufactured clubs, they won't rust.
If they are forged blades, they'll only rust if you wear the chrome off,
which should take a lot of time to do.If clubs rust after 3 months, you
bought some low quality clubs.
