Any long term reviews for the finish? Looking to get some for my wedge

Wondering the same- especially without a 14 way bag?

Definitely not going to hold up unless you have a 14way bag IMHO. For my 921F Mizzy’s I opted for the LZ blackouts and they still got a little marked from using a Sun Mountain 4-5 14way. One time i did use my carry K1Lo 5 way and most of the marks came from that one day. Anyway, they look amazing in the mantle but for function tough to keep pristine.

I have 3 sets of 6.5 blackouts and have zero issues with wear,  Ping Hoofer and I walk every round.

Ping Hoofer sounds like magic compared to my K1Lo for these shafts...one round walking and all several shafts required a swirl remove/polish/ and wax service to get them almost back to 95%...needless to say never put them in that bag again for the rest fo the season and only used the 14way which did much better.  Any type of shaft thats painted or powder coated vs PVD or Polished or Anodized will mare with enough force and regularity.  

 

They look so good, just need to be mindful IMHO

Makes me regret my recent purchase of the 6.5's in steel. These are niceeee

Just got these for my wedges, and I’m sure then butt of grips will leave rubber marks, but the finish seems very durable. Based on tip prep it was a significant amount of finish on the shaft, and Keenan from TT messaged me saying these are their most durable finish to date. I’m used to rubber marks on my graphite shafts so these should be no different, chrome steel just shows it less.
