Better players tend to prefer the non-chrome finishes, as it reflects less in the sun. Other than that I'm not sure if one wearsusts quicker than the other....

It also might have to do with a softer feeling when hitting shots...not 100% sure though.

From there the downswing is easy because everything...

Haven't tried the i15's yet and probably won't because I really like my i10's. What do you mean in terms of difference between the i10s, G10s,...
