I had a question as to what theories there are to why my clubs keep breaking? I bought a set of barely used burner 2.0 irons from a golf store and i've snapped of 3 clubheads in a month. Two of them the club didnt even touch the ground it was off a tee. The shafts breaks off right at the hozel.

I get some good distances like 175-185 yards carry with a 7 iron here in Seattle. So i think i strike it pure not sure if the clubs are messed up or if its my swing

It's the stock stiff 85gram shatf

It sounds like the clubs were left in a humid environment and were either stored clubhead down or they have the sensicore shaft material in them to absorb vibtation (which also absorbs moisture).  This can casue the shaft to rust right next to the hozel where the  moisture gathers.  This weakens the metal and the clubheads break.  The fact that it has happened to 3 heads makes me think that is the case.  I had a buddy with a brand new set of Wilson Fat Shafts that this kept happening to.  Those shafts were thin and it didn't take long in his basement for them to rust and start breaking.  If you like the clubs, have them all re-shafted...may be more economical to just buy new irons.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

Where did you get the clubs from? Hopefully it was a reputable dealer or they could be counterfeit. There is a lot of counterfeit golf stuff nowadays. Just a thought.

Thanks Bugdude. I think you might be right since I bought them slightly used. Probably left in the trunk of the previous guy's car and rusted.

kcgolfa1 - I bought them from "pro golf" so they should be legit...

Storing in the trunk shouldn't make clubs fail....

The clubs are either faulty, or you are bad luck............LOL

I had a new set of TM 2.0s. First year broke 3 shafts off at the hosel. Finally, after breaking my SW I called TM and they said they would send me a replacement set of Rocketballz. I used the Rocketballz all of 2013 with no issues. This spring, 2014 i played 1 round and was at the range and the head broke off my 8 iron. ??? wth...... I am so perplexed. Stiff shaft stock steel shafts. I dont think my swing is that hard but could that be whats causing the problems?

It sounds like you may be hitting the hosel, or way too far on the heel. There's no way on earth you should have broken 5 clubs combined between two different sets. The flex of the shaft is not even important here. I honestly think you should investigate the hosel of one of the club heads and make sure there's no sign of ball impact on it. If there's not, then I have no clue.

I am also 99.9999% sure this is not related to your swing speed.

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      By SG11118 · Posted

      I'm more talking about maintenance schedules.  There are fertile times in the year where our rough probably grows close to an inch a day.  It is pretty easy to find your golf ball in 2" rough.  It becomes a little more questionable to find it in 4" + rough.  One guy at our course typically is on the rough mower and is able to make it through the course in maybe 2 1/2 days.  If I catch a spot where he hasn't mowed it in 2 1/2 days, it is going to be tricker to find my ball.

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      The Rules of Golf are not simple and whoever said they are is being disingenuous. Here are some examples: If a ball is "not found" in a penalty area but it is known or "virtually certain" that it is in a penalty area, is it not lost therefore penalty relief may be taken, which means either drop in the penalty area, or within two club lengths or take back on the line relief (if red penalty area) and it's a one stroke penalty?? Yet, the rough is not a penalty area, so even if you know it's somewhere in the rough it's just rough and not a penalty area so it's two strokes??  Is that logical? Now here's another thing. We have a lot of woods at our course and there are red stakes at most of the borders. So, the woods are therefore a penalty area, no? If you slice a banana-ball deep into the woods and it's not found, it's not just virtually certain it's in the woods, it's sure as shit it's in the woods, so again, you drop at the edge of the woods and it's a one stroke penalty. Yes? No? Maybe?  There's also a rule somewhere, I believe, that says if a penalty area doesn't have a color marker, then it's considered a red penalty area. Again, what about the rough? The logic isn't quite there. It's hard to argue with those who just throw down a ball regardless of where the hell it went missing and they give themselves a one-stroke penalty. (Except for Out of Bounds...that's pretty clear-cut. with the new "Local Rule.")

      Day 253 - 2025-06-10 Got some good work done due to a cancellation from someone's kid getting hoof and mouth disease. Like it's the 1710s. (I kid, it's quite common among younger kids, somehow.)
