Matte club heads

[Imurg]

Specifically Drivers, woods and hybrids.
I've had a few down the years and I've finally come to the conclusion that...

I simply don't like them
They don't look right, to me anyway...
I like a nice gloss finish and how a club looks matters to me.
Are you a glossy or a matte?
Or don't you mind one way or the other....?

Oh no, I much prefer the matte look, just looks better behind the ball to me. I think it makes the head look a little tidier and maybe more compact, which I like.

Gloss. Though I did have some raw wedges that I really liked the look of.

Wedges I can live with...I like the satin chrome finishes on irons and wedges but matte just doesn't work for me on woods...

 

[tsped83]

Not overly bothered. My woods are both gloss but could easily be matte and I wouldn't give a toss.

Gloss is boss

No the matte blackmis as dull as the feel of a Ping driver,mso a match made i heaven

Love matte finish. Got JPX EZ hybrids that are matte, used to have the driver to. Would be delighted if I could get the 850 driver and 5w I have done in a blue matte.

You obviously aren't hitting the sweet spot

Wouldnt know if i did

Ill tell you what i will do, go and hit the new G driver tomorrow and it feels better than when i hit my R15(which gives me some feedback).

I will honestly come on here a say so.

but Matte black is as boring as the ridiculous sound of the G30

 

[JT77]

I guess that's open to opinion, I like the look of matte clubs, since I had an i20 3 wood, great club by the way, imo, I also like the look of my g30, sits great at address, and it gives me forgiveness which is what I want from my driver, goes great, I have a ls tec and you def get feed back from it, I have tried tm drivers and they don't suit me, I liked my titleist 910, but the 915 when I tried it, along with the m1 didn't match the numbers of the ping. Good luck with the g I've not tried it but I'm sure it will be more consistent than a tm, well for me it would.

Gloss , and while we are at it bring back silver faces. The black faces wear too easy especially on hybrids and fairways

 

[Pin-seeker]

It's more to do with the quality of the club that gets me.
Most Modern drivers & fairway woods tend to look well used pretty quickly compared to older models.
My old G10 is still in great condition.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

A ball, being addressed by a club which has a matte finish suddenly develops the characteristics of a stealth bomber, in that the clubs radar totally manages to evade detection of the ball.

Or could be pilot error

Prefer shiny shinies

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Never really thought about it and bought on the performance. I do like a shiny set of irons which isn't something Ping are renowned for but I do like the quieter look of their woods. Not a fan of a busy (M1 type) driver head

 

[Sats]

Couldn't care less - how it performs is the really issue. I'll leave the pretty talk to men who love men.
