My friend was trying with my fairwaywood and hit the ball on the head (where the PT is printed on the 906F2) and created a dent. I don't know how he hit it there but the dent is very noticeable. Is there a way to restore it to normal condition? Thanks.

man sorry to hear that. i wish i had good news for you, but with a sharp dent in the top like that, there's just not a lot you can do.

i had this happen on a Ping Zing 2 driver when i was just learning how to play and i was so disappointed. the problem is, the surface area of a head is so small that there's virtually no way to use some sort of suction to pop the dent out like you would on the hood of a car. the only way you could do it would be to get inside the clubhead somehow and by the time you do that...well, you might as well have spent the money on a new one. depending on how good of a friend it is, i might actually "offer" to sell him the club so you can get a new one. of course, you don't want to go damaging any friendships, so if it was an old club anyway, it might not be worth it. kind of a tough call. but good luck and sorry again about your club.

Yeah... He did it right infront of me... Swung the club and bang!!! The ball flew 90 degrees towards my direction missing me by a few inches... And the result is as shown in the picture... Oh well... I guess I will have to use it for a while and ask him to replace it with 906F4 if that is better and with same price...

i just had a similar experience: i almost dinged my brand new superquad while practicing on the shop's hitting mat, which was surrounded by concrete flooring. in the end, i scratched a part close to the hitting face .

sigh, i'm sure your friend feels as bad, if not worse than me. if it was me, i would have offered to replace the club. good luck

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
