Titleist Iron Clubhead Damage: Is a Small Chip a Concern?

Question
Hello,
I recently purchased a new set of titleist irons and my 7iron came with a relatively deep but small chip on the club head located on the heel on the right bottom corner just a 1/2 centimter under the groove. It is not exactly on the face but is just under it.  Since these clubs were expensive, I wanted to know if this was any real cause for concern for the future as it does not currently affect ball contact ?  (thank you for taking the time to answer my question)

Answer
Dan,

It may not affect ball flight but I would certainly have the Pro Shop or retailer have Titleist send you a replacement. If it's not replaced, it may lead to a rusting issue down the road. You paid good money for new clubs that you want to last a long time.
