The face just blew apart, unbelievable. I was swinging normal(normal is still a very fast swing speed) and I guess this thing just couldn't handle it. Sucks because they are nice clubs to hit, I shape the ball nicely and put it anywhere I want to. This was off a low tee, so no rock came into contact, just pure ball.

It was a very weird sound and the ball went a total of  20 yards max hahah I wondered what happened, then as I brought down the club I heard the big chunk of metal inside the head.

You can clearly see where the weak points were too. It broke right on the top like and bottom line and on the same angle on the two sides, almost like it was just a welded insert.

are the faces welded? I'm sure not that far into the clubface but I thought all the faces of woods were welded to the body of the club. call tmade. maybe they will replace it. for free?

it was out of one of our rental sets at work that's never been hit yet, I was just testing the bad boys out. My boss is good friends with our TM rep so we got a bunch of sets to rent out for the summer at the course. It shouldn't be an issue to get it replaced.

someone else on here was smashing burner 3w's, too.  I think they have a defective product.

I golfed with a guy a few years ago that had the same issue. He swung so hard he caved in a driver and 3-wood almost every year. Crazy. FWIW, I have nothing but great luck with TM customer service with a couple of drivers in the past. They should be able to help you out.

Been lurking a bit, but this piqued my interest.  I noticed what looks like a circular "explosion" of scratches on my Burner 2.0 faces on my driver, 3w, 3 and 4 rescues when cleaning them after my last round.  They weren't there before the round and I tried a new type of ball for probably 12 or 13 holes.  (same ball for first nine)  I was experiencing back spasms and my back was tight to start with so I wasn't swinging my fastest, that's for sure.  (Doubt I had a drive over 260, so not much speed that day.  Definitely, this wasn't a case of some big bomber going at it.

Anyhow, are some types of balls incompatable with these clubs?  It doesn't make sense to me, but I thought I would ask in the event that others have found this to be the case.

Sandy/dirty golf ball. Clean your ball as best you can before hitting woods to avoid this.

also, hitting woods fat off a tee box with a lot of sand raked in will do the same.

You did buy it from a reputable shop and not a crazy eBay discount by chance....the most popular clubs like the new TM's are the ones that the Chinese companies make fakes!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
