Obviously, yes. You're a monster 😜

What brand is it? Have you been storing them in your car in the cold? Did this happen in the bitter cold?

You need to back off on the Wheaties.  I have the same problem with coffee.  If I have too many cups of coffee; I just kind of piss the round away.

This is why I hit it all over the face. Less likely to wear one spot and cave it in there.

It's Titleist H1 and yes, it was like 30 degrees that morning..

I'd like to  know more about what happened and more about what club that is. 

Not much to tell.  It was cold outside and I was warming up and hit a couple of shots with it and the club made a weird sound so I looked and was like, "F**************ck."

I took it to the country club where I purchased it and they sent it to Titleist who is going to evaluate the club and make a determination on how to proceed which from what I understand, should happen within a couple of weeks.

Glad to see someone out there feels my pain. :dance:

I sure hope they take care of you with a free replacement. 

Should be hearing back within the next week.

Got the call yesterday that Titleist did the right hing, which I expected, and sent to the country club where I bought the club a new club head. 👍

Going to pick it up tomorrow. :banana:

I bought the club at a country club that was doing the Titleist Thursday's a couple of years ago so, when I broke, I brought it back there and they helped facilitate a replacement club. :-)

That club face didn't look like it had a lot of use. Glad Titleist looked after it. My clubs have a lot more wear on them than that. maybe I will show your pic to the wife as an excuse to replace a few clubs, lol

Dooo it! 😂

Yeah, I carry two hybrids and because I'm not very comfortable with my 3W, I usually use the other one for longer shots because it's loft is 21°.

As an aside, picked up what Titleist sent me.  Very happy indeed.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
