So tonight i went to the range for the last time until i get home for christmas vacation. i was hitting pretty well and just as i was putting my headcover back on my driver, i noticed a gigantic crack along the face.

now i wont feel guilty about spending $300+ on a new driver in the winter :D

I did that to a Tour Edge driver a while back. It came with a lifetime warranty, so I got it replaced for free. (I then turned around and sold it, because I couldn't trust it anymore...)

Maybe check into the warranty and see if the manufacturer can do anything for you.

that's too bad. 975 is a solid driver. only replaced mine about a month ago. Not sure what you're looking at as far as drivers go, but the 983 is still a solid club. for a little more the 905 series is definately worth a look; and neither should set you back $300 :)

My 983E had a stress on the top line of the face in the same spot as yours but not as much, I took it to my local golf speciality store and they sent it back to Titleist for free, week and half later I was they replace the broken head with a new head of the same shaft and grip I sent in. I was told at the golf store their was a chance of getting the new 905T the equivelent of the 983E if they wasn't any more of those heads aviable.

Your titleist head is really over done in my opinion, I would assume the stress start out much like mine but you did not catch it soon enough. I would also be willing to bet they don't replace it with that much damage, but it is still worth a shot.

Good Luck

    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe. 
    • What's the rest of that story? Where was the ball going?
    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.
