I've bent/adjusted a lot of clubheads in the past and when the face of the iron is located
in the clamping part of the loft/lie machine,a face that wasn't flat would easily be noticed.
Don't recall ever seeing the face on a quality iron that wasn't flush with the holding
jig part of the machine.

Par4QC I'm good with +/- 1 for loft and lie, +/-3g for weight, that seems to be the standard🤔. I weigh and measure (length), but I can't measure loft/lie. No matter how good the build is, if I get the same set @colej got, forget it. And at those prices, forget about it!

Golf after the C word has gone mad. I won't order from a company that has that sloppy of specs. I guess the good news is, if they have enough stock, they will be able accommodate most special orders!

      You guys are going to make me nuts. Now I’m going to have to check the faces of all my irons. May take months.

      As far as weight goes, Golfworks is always within 3 grams. As far as lie goes, they’re usually within 1* and it’s usually flat, if it’s off. You’ll have a outlier here and there at 2* but it’s not common and if you’d contact them and tell them they’d send you another. Every golfworks iron head I’ve measured has been flat.

      All of the above would also go for any wishon head Ive got as well.

        ode I'd like the guys with a decent guage/s to chime in re specs and which brands are tight, etc. I wouldn't doubt that some OEMs are way off like posted above, but ??

        I would chime in on this topic but it would likely lead to me be being lynched. 🙃

            He will send a call tag or make arrangements to get that product back and take care of you.

              SMT Mike, You need to post some insight as to what may have happened, if you would/could. No one here wants to stop purchasing SMT products, they've been in our lives too long to give up, lol.

              And, inform, if you can, on these 'injected' heads, not just SMT but all/any. Should there be that slight bulge?

              TIA

                  🤣...I think those fellas are long gone from this site.

                  We do already know that hardly anyone here has the proper set ups for measuring. 😉

                    Anyone can make mistakes. I work for a company that mfrs precision measurement sensors and we recently sent a shipment with like 45 out of 60 parts built incorrectly. Our quality is great, but no one is perfect. The product was actually fine but a mounting thread wasn't deep enough. Now if many customers are complaining then you have issues.

                    colej I'd bet all companies have had a problem, here/there, with these thin faced iron heads. There has been/always will be, cracked driver faces, and they've changed the metals a few times over. Iron heads will also have problems. You figure the R & D teams would have everything set, but it may just be an impossibility to get 'perfect', and they are going with 'percentages'.

                    Why they all did not just use Flubber, is beyond me. It's been around for decades, and works quite well. It's true....I saw the movies about it. 😉

                        I went and was reading about the heads. Sounds like they are just hollow, not injected.
