Ive got a mizuno mx 500 driver.

The shaft it a mizuno exsar 50 regular.

I was on the 12th tee, and i hit the floor whilst taking my shot.

It split from where the head joins the shaft, and up by 2inches.

Is it a fault?

how do i get it sorted?

can i send it back to mizuno and get it fixed FAST and CHEAP?

Fast Replysss!

Thank you!

You either need to contact mizuno directly or go back to where you bought it and see if they will replace it. How badly did you hit the ground? How long have you had it for?

I bought it 2nd hand form golfbidder, a pga certified website auction.

The ball went about 290 and off the the right slightly, so a fairly good hit, but i went for it quite a bit, and i hit the floor at impact quite hard, enough to make a largeish divot.

Seeming i bought the club of an auction site, i dont think i could send it to them, although i need to know from anyone with this experience, and how long it takes if i send it off to the manufacturer, and if it costs.

Thanks again,

Nick

Ditto. You're probably out of luck since you bought it used.

I'd just contact a local club repairman. That'll be the fastest turnaround time for you.

    • Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?
