Hi there, to give a little background to my problem i will start with why it is cracked and then ask the question.

I've cracked a driver below the heel. It didn't really affect the performance. I think you have some problem because there is water in the driver head?
nykfan4life
I'm no expert, but If there is a crack anywhere on it (a crack, not a hairline scratch), It probably is hindering the performance of the club.
choran
A crack will certainly hinder the performance of the club due to the fact that the club is made of such thin metal, any crack will likely propagate (get larger) the more you hit the club.

Thanks guys, i'm fairly sure there isn't water in the club as once i had washed it i left it grip down and no water came out of the end of the grip as one would expect. I am making a trip to the national custom fit centre next week and will have to see what they think.

Well to report back, i have actually played 2 sets of 9 holes over two days, one shooting a 36 and the other a 40, both of them i used the driver quite a lot, and to be honest, it felt ok, on the first hole a 315 yard par 4 i was pin high with my drive. I do however feel that it may start to feel worse as time goes on and the crack gets worse!

It sounds to me like the "Saudi-tour" is getting supported from the guys who may be at the end of their careers and the guys who are outside the top 100. I think I would be real careful if I was a young guy thinking of going to that league when...

My new driver arrived yesterday, I went to the range this morning. Once I got good and warmed up I pulled out new driver. At first it was long and straight, then the next hit was straight but not so long. I looked at my point of impact on the face and it was just slightly toeward of center, but still more center than toeward.

I had a driver cave in on the top of the club above the face. I sent it back to the company and they sent me a replacement. It was a Daiwa driver, back in 1992.

Two guys in my 4some had early Nicklaus drivers. 360 with the hot face. After about three years they developed crack along the bottom of the face. Nicklaus replaced with the 440 model. That must have 5 or 6 years ago now. BTW both are very loyal to Nicklaus because of the customer service!

I've never seen it with my own eyes but in the long drive competitons don't they crack their drivers all the time. I guess that because of their power and speed it is much more likely.

I've cracked a driver...look to the right of the "M", not so much as a sky mark on the top of that club (since I only had it 4 months and never sky'd it), but it still cracked a straight line along the top.

I was on the course with my uncle and his driver head was cracked yet he didnt care too much, I believe it was the 7-8 hole, swing with his driver and bang the head was in multiple piecesI was a cheap driver, but I didnt expect that to happen, and obviously neither did he. A little more unrelated but I have broken shafts before, not because I hit the ground or an obstacle, the shaft just snaped at the tip and the 3-wood head went about 150 yards down range.

I've cracked a persimmon (back in the day) and two graphite headed drivers back in the 1990's. The technology has changed quite a bit since the early 1990's and I haven't had a problem since. Good luck getting yours resolved.

Hey all, new to the forum and relatively new to golf as well so thanks in advance for any replies/advise. Several friends and I decided within the last few months we'd take up the sport inline with disc golf, giving us a lot of options for outdoor activities here in TX.

I've had it happen twice. Once on a brand new club, the other on a 15 year old. Both graphite shafts.

I had (still sometimes have) a bad habit of leaving my clubs in my car for most of the Summer. I have had club heads fly off but never had a driver head snap off. Do you leave your clubs in extreme heat?

Poor shaft tip prepping or poor countersink creating a sharp edge to cut shaft...Take your pick
bones75
I knew a guy who did this when he first started golf, but he knew exactly what was happening. He was hitting the ball w/ the shaft on some of his misses. It wasn't one strike that did it, but a series of misses would weaken/damage his shaft right near the hozzle...
SupaR6
You sure you're hitting them solidly and not catching them really far into the heel or hosel?
