Hi there, i was wondering about a few things regarding some dents on my driver.

I have 2 small dents, 1 right on the toe and another on the side/underbelly of the club.... This club has only ever hit 15 balls and is 2 days old....

I wanted to know a few things...

1) Could this be a design fault in the club from the club buckling... the reason i ask is that the dents both sit just behind the titanium face.

2) Is there any way to get the dents pushed out??

3) Is there any point going back to the golf store to argue my case as the clubs are only 2 days old??

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Many thanks
Andrew

Hi there, i was wondering about a few things regarding some dents on my driver.

What kind of driver? I have a Taylormade R7 425 and I put a nice little ding on the toe (underside). As long as its on the soft black painted metal of the club it has absolutely no effect on the driver. So if its on the softer black metal, enjoy your one-of-a-kind design driver :).

Hi its a full titanium top flite tour edition driver... 2 days old!! Im a bit of a beginner....

The dents are on the painted sections of the club although on one of the dents (circular), the very very edge of the dent has made a ever so slight dent on the titanium... do you think this would be a problem??

Considering the brand of the club (no offense as you are a beginner) and the fact you're still a 36 handicap, it will be no noticeable difference to you. From the sounds of it, its the same kind of dent I have, which is just cosmetic.

Assuming the titanium to be the club face, I think it would be a problem, even if it was on the edge. It could mean the difference between a skyball and possibly making the dent even worse or the club unplayable in the future.

If it was only two days, to be honest, reguardless of your handicap, and you've still got the receipt, take it back, try to get store credit towards another driver. I've never heard of the Top Flite Tour Edition, so I'm going to wager it's a pretty cheap driver--cheaper drivers dent more easily (I had an Acuity which has about five or six dents in it - mercifully none on the club face but everywhere else).

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
