Whenever I clean my driver, I notice small cracks with bubbles coming up through the top of it. There is one on the top of the driver, and one near the hosel. It kinda reminds me of when replacing bike tubes, and trying to find the hole in it. Will this affect my driver at all?

In the bag:

Driver: R9 460
Fairway Woods:FT 3 Wood, Burner 5 Wood
Irons: R7 DrawWedges: 56 sand, Bob Vokey Spin-Milled 60 LobPutter: DetourBall: NXT Extreme

Yeah, it will probably effect it I'd have to assume. You should post some pics so we can see.

I would definitely take it to a golf store like austad's or golf USA and have them send it in. If they determine the cracks are from normal play they will usually send you a new one.

yes it will effect it. I cracked my cleveland. If your seeing bubbles then that means water is getting in. Water in there could obviously effect the swing of the club. I was able to send my driver into cleveland and they put a new head on and sent it back with no charge within days

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
