Damage to driver!

mikey4644 · May 25, 2008

Hey everyone,

I recently went to a new driving range with my driver, and over swung my follow through and hit a giant beam behind me. I seem to have damaged the head of my driver right under the toe. Now I know usually anything that's not on the face is usually just cosmedic, and won't affect your game. However with the position of this (the scuff is at the very bottom of the face, and a giant lip has seemed to form) I am concerned about it.
Take a look at the photo and let me know what you guys think:

Thanks,

That is a pretty unique dent there, I'm not a golf club expert so can't really tell you if it will effect the entire face of the club. If it has done damage to the entire face I would think you would soon find out...however I think it should probably only immediately effect that specific little area where the lip has formed. So if you need to keep using that driver for a little while or whatever...my advice would be to hit the sweet spot.

Judging by the picture, I doubt it will affect the perfomance that much, if any at all.

That sucks, I know from experience. I broke my alltime favorite 3w in the same manner. Your club fared better than mine, mine split open around the equator. Have been looking for the same model and haven't found it yet.

I have a bigger hobby that golf and it is photography, you miss focused on the beam behind =) hehe for pictures like that put it into macro mode, and if it's an slr you're using then i'd guess you'd know you need a macro lens.

anyway, golf is a game where if something's on your mind it can affect your play. See if you have insurance on your credit card that covers it or something, or use it as a practice driver if it'll help you play better.

of course i hope you can still play with it, from the looks of it, it should help your play if you accidently hit the ball bottom toe and otherwise won't affect you much at all...
