So I was hitting some drives to relieve some stress and I think I may have stressed a little too much.  ha.  Split my Razr Hawk.  First time I ever broke a driver.  Had this one for a year lets see what Callaway says about it.

Gonna find out in a week or so.  Not too worried about it didn't have a skymark on the ol girl but she did get a pounding. The driver was pretty sweet so I hope I can get another.  If not I think PING is in my future. Will see.

That's not too bad. At least it doesn't throw the earth slightly out of it's natural orbit because or your momentum on the follow through.

You must have been rocks or something. Today's balls are so soft, relatively speaking, that's it obviously a defect in that club. I used to regularly split the inserts in my old wooden drivers- but that hitting the rock hard two pieces of the day.

Wow.  I've always hit it pretty hard and I've only done this once from hitting the ground when I was a beginner.  Where did you make contact?

Odd, since MOST range balls are derelicts, rejects and refurbs that don't generally fly as far or as true. Unless your range paints rocks! remember, I said MOST... and I mean public ranges or muni courses with ranges.

Hahaha....nice Callaway driver!

I can relate..........

The above is probably the last Callaway I will ever buy...........

They said that because it was over 1yr old, the best they would do is sell me the newest model at a discount for $270.  I declined their offer and bought a Taylor Made replacement.  IMO.....they could have easily shipped just a replacement head!

They sell these composite clubs destined to fail, and then don't back up their product when it does............

You got a new Callaway driver in 2 days? Amazing shipping.

Took them about 2 weeks just for me to get mine.

Yeah if they tried to sell me another driver I probably wouldnt buy their product either. Looks like the composite material gets destroyed on the inside of the club. The new driver hit way better. I wonder if they're purposely making products that dont last long so you'll have to buy one sooner?

Razr Hawk or the better sounding Razr Fit?

No, they don't build them to break. I mean, they build them in China, what do ya' expect? Quality depends on the factory and the supervision.

It kills their reputation to make breakable drivers, although you hear more about breakage over the last couple of years.

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
