What is causing this wear?

[Mach2]

Only started sing these TM Stealth HD irons a couple weeks ago and have noticed most hits are toward the toe of the irons. The 2 pic's are of the PW wear. What might be causing this wear pattern? Too upright? Too flat? Too long? Probably a bad swing............................ugghhhh.

Sand on the ball while hitting out of a bunker?

Poorly finished irons combined with sand and debris between golf balls and club head at impact.

Agree on the sand/dirt particles causing the scratches. But what might be the cause of the wear on the toe area and not the center of the iron?

Like others have mentioned sand and grit are scratching the faces. I get those toe side shots if I’m standing too tall and not over the ball enough

Your lie angle related to your contact.

length, lie or swing

Handsy or outside in.

Strictly speaking to the blemishes - you hitting off mats? I always find nasty debris on the ones at my local range.

Cheap ink on the range balls?
