dent in driver

[hebethekid]

I have a Adams speedline driver, and i hit a really bad shot and put a dent on the toe of the driver, inbetween 12o'clock and the face. (but not on the face), how much will it affect my drive(if any), and is the driver shot? (this is not my driver just pointing out where the dent is  it is about dime size) any help?

I doubt it will make any change. A ding is cosmetic. It most likely has not changed the structure or the wind drag on the club. I have a driver I let my wife use and she dented. I hit it just as I did before she dented it.  I wouldn't worry about it.

Please show us a clear pic of the dent.......

A dented driver is a ruined driver!  A dent isn't just cosmetic!! The structural integrity of the club and it's response may be....and is probably compromised/ruined.  If my driver had a dent....I'd replace it immediately without giving it a 2nd thought.  The only way a ding is only cosmetic is if your swing speed is that of an 80yr old.

How on earth did you dent it there?  Did you throw it in anger?

I use a driver, several years old now,  with a small dent (much smaller than a dime in diameter) on the top of the driver (my grandson).  I can't tell the difference between when it dented and before I noticed the dent.  Maybe just my lousy swing but I don't think so.

I should add, if it bothers you and you believe it will affect performance, it will affect performance for sure.
