Hi everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster.  What is the accepted technique to repair an iron when the head is coming off?  I sent back my M6 PW and 7i to TM for such a repair. After less than two months the PW head was coming off again.  And I noticed the 7i was hitting short, now I know why.  The shaft was cut down to the length of a PW or 9i.  

Am I crazy or nit-picky? But this doesn't seem to be the way to repair a head coming off???

Picture below shows 6i, short 7i, 8i 9i

Where did you send these?

They screwed up, big time, and you should get a refund. Particularly for the 7-iron at wedge length.

Also, how did you not notice the 7-iron was a wedge length?

That is not being nit picky at all. That is a huge mistake that I really cannot believe TM would make. I would contact TM. They have great customer service and will make it right. Especially with such a silly mistake

Let me be clear too: I read that you sent them to TaylorMade, but I have such a hard time believing they goofed this badly.

Contact them and I’m sure they’ll take care of you if it was TaylorMade.

My only question is where these clubs custom built for you and are perhaps an inch and a half longer than standard? Then when you sent the 7 iron back is it possible they put a standard length 7 iron shaft in it? 

Because that's the only way I can see this sort of thing happening. Even then it's a major screw up which they need to correct. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

The set was bought a 1/2inch short from TM and was "repaired" by TM.  Really kicking myself I didn't see the shorty 7i post repair sooner.  Just crazy

Send them the photo. They should fix it for you. It looks like they grabbed the wrong golf shaft off the shelf. Not sure if they reused the ones you had or had to replace one due to damage.

They will still take care of it. They replaced a whole set of irons for me one time that I bought used.

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
