Taylormade R15 TP driver question....fml

So as of recent almost two months now, I have gotten really serious into golf, well something I really want to strive to get decent at......recently I went to my local pro am shop to pick up the taylormade R15 driver after using an R11 a co worker let me try. I figure the adjustable weights could help with my slice that im dreading to figure out how to cure....so long story short, I ended up buying a TP R15 without knowing what it really meant......yes I know its my own fault for not asking.........went to the driving range n tried smacking the last ball with everything I had only to end up topping the ball and denting my driver underneath on the left side of the loft adjuster screw.

so question, how does this affect my driver? and how much could I possibly sell the driver head for?

tho I doubt anyone would want to buy a dented driver head

Taylormade generally gives you a one year warranty. Call them.

And bring up the fit issue too. Callaway gives you a playability guarantee and lets you switch between the Big Bertha range if you don't like it. Taylormade may do something similar.

even if I bought it from a pro shop and not from taylormade?

Well the playability thing I don't even know if they offer, but the warranty claim you make to them directly, not the pro shop. In any event, talk to their customer service and see what they'll do for you. They're generally pretty great. I mean, you bought literally their most expensive product.

They'll probably have you send them your driver, and since in likelihood they can't fix it, they'll replace the head. Seriously, call them.

i gave them a call and they said that kind of issue can't be covered under warranty.......then they said to go to my local pro shop where I purchased the driver and have them look at it and if they think I can file a warranty then we can go ahead and do that.

so when I go golfing on Friday im gonna head to the pro shop and see what they have to say

so....dents don't come under warranty......pro shop told my friend if had a crack on the face of it i could and that it shouldn't affect my driver much, but the fact that i know having a tour preffered driver ain't gonna benefit me makes me not wannna have it at all anymore.

how much you think i could actually sell it for?

that dent looks like it came from bringing the club directly down onto the ball, like an overhead tomahawk slam straight down.

You get a guy with about a 10 degree outside to in swing path, and a very negative attack angle and I can see that happening. It is amazing that he missed the SLDR slot there. You'd think that the ball would catch that channel.

Possibly, but if the ball was teed up there's no way it makes that dent. If the ball was on the ground, maybe, but the dent would've been longer, front to back, as the clubhead traveled over the ball.
