GB13 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I like the PING Hydropearl finish best but otherwise, just a satin finish for me. No unwanted distractions!

cnosil Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I lean toward chrome finishes with just some black badging. Plain, basic, simple......classic looking. I think that is why I like the look of the Wilson C300s so much.

txgolfjunkie Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Give me Cobra's DBM coating on my Ping i210s and I'll never need another set.

TR1PTIK Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I like a DBM or Satin finish. The PING Hydropearl is really good. As much as I love to look at high-polish chrome irons, I don't ever want to play with them. Too much glare and too pretty for me to want to mess up. I'd be interested in trying a raw finish sometime too. I've had wedges in the past that were raw and liked it okay.

PMookie Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 If black, I want the PVD finish that are on my Hogans. If “plain”, give me the finish on the i210 irons, and the one on MP-18 SC.

Har in the Hat Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I prefer the Chrome finish with just a simple badge. But for wedges, my interest is piqued with the Titlest SM 7 with a black finish ( but will no be able to get it as it is not available for lefties.

fixyurdivot Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Something that lasts is my top like. My PE2's look darn near like they did when purchased in 1988. I'm hearing that some of Ping's new finishes don't hold up as well. I've also seen some pictures of irons in classifieds that look splotchy. The old school look of chrome and some of the darker/matte finishes are appealing too. I'd have tough decision, but again, a proven, enduring one would be important.

Indeed I am not 100% sold on PING's hydropearl either after seeing several used sets that look like they have razor burn. My GMax's finish holds up nicely though they wont win any beauty contests. IMO, if PING came out with a line of irons with the same finish as the Stealth wedges, they'd have an instant winner. I use the snot out of all of mine (especially the 58*) and so far they have held up beautifully. With the darker CB shafts I have on them, they really do look great.

GregB135 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Chrome finish for looks, but my favorite for play was the satin finish on my Ping i20s. Sometimes the glare or flash of the chrome finish can be distracting at setup. Of course the other answer is 'close to the pin'.
