I'm talking about dings that affect playablity...not bag chatter that some worry about...these three clubs met with some serious underground geology and are missing a bit from each...two of the three needed smoothing as there was a "hanger" for lack of a better word that if passed over carpet (indoor practice swing) would snag and twist the head...

I'm with you with the clubs as tools thought...that's why I could care less about the finish while filing away and soon to be rubbed with a sharpening stone...just wondering if there was another way...
