I bought this Taylormade R1 driver brand new on March 18, 2014 and today, while cleaning my clubs, I noticed what appears to be either a chip in the paint or a crack on my club head. Now, I am a new golfer, so my swing and accuracy are not the best, and maybe this is caused by user error (if it is even a problem rather than a blemish), but I would think a $300 club would not be cracking within a month of play. Can anyone tell me whether this is an issue or just cosmetic? If it is a crack, is Taylormade good about warrantying their product? Thanks for the help.

Could be just a crack in the paint. If there is a crack in the metal the sound from the club will be very different. I don't see any marks on the face near the paint cracks.

In any case, TM is pretty good about replacing heads. You can check it where you bought it.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      I found it odd that both Drs. (Raymond Prior and Greg Rose) in their separate videos gave the same exact math problem (23 x 12), and both made the point of comparing block practice to solving the same exact math problem (23 x 12) over and over again. But I've made the point that when you are learning your multiplication tables… you do a bunch of similar multiplications over and over again. You do 7 x 8, then 9 x 4, then 3 x 5, then 2 x 6, and so on. So, I think when golf instructors talk about block practice, they're really not understanding what it actually is, and they're assuming that someone trying to kinda do the same thing is block practice, but when Dr. Raymond Prior said on my podcast that what I was describing was variable practice… then… well, that changes things. It changes the results of everything you've heard about how "block" practice is bad (or ineffective).
