So this is kind of a little story time. So on Monday I was at the range and noticed my 7 iron was a bit loose. I was thinking, that seems odd so I kind of play with the head (sorry this sounds sexual) and the 7 iron head came completely detached from the shaft. Hmm, so I took it over to the local pro golf shop around here and they are fixing the 7 iron up- re-epoxy, sand the works.

Anyways, so I have my golf lesson yesterday and am hitting some PW shots and all of a sudden I crank a nice looking shot except it felt really odd. Well that's because the PW shaft broke right at the hosel as the club head flew down range. So now when I pick up my 7 iron tonight I'm going to have to get my PW reshafted. I am playing golf tonight with some buddies and am a bit nervous something bad will happen to another one of my golf clubs since bad things happen in 3s.

Anyone else have any stories about their golf clubs breaking down? I take great care of my clubs, no throwing clubs, beating them into the ground etc. Just freak accidents I suppose.

My first real set of irons were PGA concept blades that my dad gave me. They had dg S300 shafts. Sweet clubs. Played them from shooting in the 100s down to the high 70s in high school. I broke 3 irons in the same round! The shafts had rusted from the inside out and they all snapped at the hosel. I had been playing them for 10 years and my dad had played them for close to 20. I just replaced the whole set at that point...went with lynx parallax irons...if anyone remembers those. Just replaced those after a 3 year break from the game!

I had a set of extremely cheap, no name clubs in college. Didn't really play at the time, but would hit balls at the range from time to time. I actually snapped the clubhead in half on my 3iron, right through the middle of the blade of the iron. Did the same thing with the 4iron basically as well, it didn't snap off but cracked and bent about 20* (the ultimate Draw biased club). Sometimes it doesn't pay to be cheap.

Just start playing golf about 2 weeks ago and on my first trip to the range the head of my dads driver flew off as I hit the ball. The next day I went with my friend and he had a really old driver, sure enough on my second or third swing the shaft broke almost at the half way point and I did not even hit the ground. I never broke a third one though....yet.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
