So as discussed in other threads on here I have decided to send my trusty Srixon Z765's off to Tiger Nick Golf in Ohio to get a Black Nitride coating put on them. I love black weges with a white bottom score line on them and have had better luck aiming that color combination so I figured I would give it a try with my current iron set.

I'd have went with DLC personally. It'll last a lot longer. Tiger Nick's stuff does come back looking nice though

I have seen varying accounts of how well DLC holds up. Saw a WITB for Horschel when he still had the black PXG irons and they looked really rough. I know each coating has it's + and - though. Hope I chose the right one.

One of the main reasons I started this thread was to catalog how well (or not) that the finish wears. Lots of threads on other sites about finishes but not many pictures. They get forgotten after one or two rounds or maybe one long range session, but I want to catalog how well these wear.
