How do you know when the faces on your irons are shot?
Can they be fixed, refinished, or re tooled? When do you scrap them for new sticks? Mine have a worn spot about a ball wide in the sweet spot of the face on my PW, 9i 8i and 7i. They are forged irons(Mizuno MX-23's with four years of constant play) with a rust colored spot in the face now. Sure enough i dont hit the center enough on the 6-3i, but when should i get new irons?

Practice is what shortens the lifespan of your clubs. From what you describe it sounds like the marks are more superficial than ingrained. They should still be ok. It won't stop you spinning the ball.

having the faces worn out is really more of a wedge thing than an iron thing. i replace my wedges when i notice a considerable lack of spin. if you love your irons and want to get them polished up you can send them to the iron factory, they will come back looking like new.

No joke-you can always use Lime-Away.
Don't buy club re-groovers. They will hurt more than help very quickly.
Re-grooving is available, but like Charlie says, it costs nearly as much as trading in your clubs for some new sticks!
