I have a huge problem. I have a Taylor Made 320, I was on the driving range and after a drive, it sounded like a loose piece of metal inside the head. It sounds like the tip of the shaft broke off. My question is : can it be taken out of the head? What do I do? This is like the end of the world for me....pls help!!!

Probably not the shaft.  Could be some metal within the head broke off.  Could be a problem if it is part of the internal structure of the head.  If it's a new club, TaylorMade will replace it. Take it back to where you bought it.

Thanks for the reply, fortunately we have pro shops and the guys are 100% sure the can fix it. They say its the glue that hardens on the tip of the shaft when we replaced the shaft and when hitting the ball,the shock of that losened\broke off the glue, but well soon find out tomorrow. Thanks again for the replies

Removing the shaft so that it can be re-used requires a bit of skill, but that's the only way to get loose material out of a head. You have to apply heat to the hosel to break down the epoxy. Too much heat may break down the epoxy that binds the graphite in the shaft. It's a skill.

Worse case is they have to replace the shaft, How expensive was it to replace the shaft originally?

I've got some clubs that rattle like that. Not a big deal. It's just loose epoxy residue,

Actually, in my world, No. This is normal. I feel that without my 320, my bag is half empty. So "Hyperbolize" for u maybe,  for me its being normal. You either live golf or you go play bowls bro, there is no other way.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
