Fractors in driver shaft

[Deep Stuff]

I noticed 2 small fractors in my driver shaft. It is a stock M.A.S. 2 on a Taylormade R 580 XD.

Because I am a bit out of my mind, I tried to see how deep they are but could not. I used the only magnifying glass I had but could not tell. I do not think they are breaking all the way through but am concerned that it may break on the course because of the weekened shaft and it may possibly causing my shots to be off (Well maybe that is a hopeful thought ).

But seriously, the little fractors or chips, should they be a concern? They are 8 and 9 1/2 cenitmeters from the end of the hossel (sorry could not find a american ruler). Both of them are in line with each other the closer slightly towards the face size.

Should I go out and buy an new Cleveland HiBore because of it? Maybe a G5? R7? FT-3? My fiance would have a fit but it was be cool to buy a new driver - lol.

How old is your driver? you should be able to take it back to a pro shop and get a new one, they will call taylor made or talk to the local rep to ok the swap.

Alternatively, you could have it re-shafted for probably around a hundred bucks or so, depending on what shaft you chose.

Cheaper than buying a new driver, though not nearly as much fun...

I would take it back to where you bought it and let them know about it and they should honor it, or theyll send it back to Taylor Made and they will honor it. Did you just buy it?

Ive had a 454Ti from Callaway for about a year, just starting rattling in the head (maybe some epoxy came loose, who knows), anyway took it back to where I bought it and a week later Callaway sent me a brand new driver. I must have played 50 rounds with the other one. The point is even if its a bit old they still may honor it, doesnt hurt to try.

They all like happy customers, if the club is not abused even if you've had it three or four years they will make it right.

3 times I`ve taken my driver back in as many years for broken faces . it is always replaced with a new one and a smile . good pr for them
