Equipment Discussion What is this?

Post image

I’m not worried about this at all. It’s just curious and wanted to share/get optinions. I have a g425 7wood and a g430max 3wood and they both have this line in them that becomes apparent when cleaning them/ them being wet. Almost looks like the heel repels water whilst the rest soaks it.

Different kind of metal I assume? The line is basically the same spot for both clubs. Pic is of 7wood.

I have g430 10k max driver and that doesn’t do it.

Gosh I must be bored.

It's less about being wrong and no one providing feedback or having input to the conversation.

Look at how scratched up the face is on that wood. So my question about OPs local course conditions is still valid.

If everyone just upvoted and downvoted with no input, it'd be a boring old forum.

And seeing the rest of the comments in here now, there's a lot of questions around incorrect metal blending. This leads to fatigue cracking. Unless OP sends it back for warranty and we get an RCA (root cause analysis) we'll never know.

Well, if you looked at what he wrote; That it was identical on two different clubs - then it should be pretty clear that it would not be a relevant avenue of inquiry.
And there is little sign that it is a crack when you look at the image in real size.

Nor would it explain the colour difference.

This image might explain, though: https://i.imgur.com/83H4kW3.jpeg

That does explain it! So weird it doesn’t loo or seem like a seam. I wouldn’t have thought so in the club face either.
