hit a rock with my driver....

hey guys. sorry for posting so many times about my driver but i need help one more time. i was practice swinging my razr hawk yesterday in the yard when i hit a rock i didnt see. it hit the sole of the driver and gave a nasty scratch to it. here are pics. should i be worried about it compromising the performance of the driver, or leading to potential damage? to get an idea of the depth if i put the corner of a piece of paper into the scratch, the very tip of the corner cannot be seen. it doesnt seem very deep, but im not sure how thick the material is in that part of the driver. thanks for the help!

Mine has more damage then that and it still pumps it out with the best of them. Quit worrying and start playing. Only damage i hate is on the crown messing with my eyes.

I'd be almost certain this is nothing to worry about.  The sole is likely thick here to achieve COG, and I'd imagine this type of thing would be a "failure mode" consideration during the design phase if the engineers wanted to reduce thickness in this area to begin with.

awesome thanks guys. i brought it to the guy at the range and he said as long as the hot melt wasnt ratling around then it should be fine. then he promptly hit it against he ground and said "no problem" :P
