My issues came from wet chains and the wet overmold (when it's raining/snowing, it's gonna get wet no matter how much you keep it dry in your hand). I had a lot of putts that would hit solid and then slide through the wet chains. Just happened way too much for my liking where the same putt with a Wizard or Magnet would hit chains and drop. Was kind of hoping the overmold could be made in a grippier material. (visions of a premium core with Pro D/DX overmold but I'm sure that could get into the consistency thing). So back to base plastic for putters into the chains. I still love it for driving and will continue to build a stack of them. Maybe eventually the overmold will break in.
I putt on rusty chains in my backyard and this roughs up the overmold for sure...I've never really thought about this issue, but now that you mention it I've always felt like brand new Ions spit out for me a bit more than my broken in ones. I just though this was something what I was doing, but maybe it has a little to do with the overmold being new and smooth. In terms of using two different plastics in an Ion...They have to be the same to have a strong chemical bond.
