The problem with genuine clubs

[Shorty]

Imagine if these clubs did not belong to famous professional players.

You could start a thread about counterfeit  clubs you are aware of breaking "just this week" and make a very convincing case for staying with genuine OEM equipment.

They make the faces hotter (read: thinner), this kind of nonsense is bound to happen. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. Callaway's iron faces are hovering over a gap, Taylormade is cutting holes all over their clubs. I'm curious to see how these hold up after 5 years.

Phil busting a 2013 Callaway X-Forged 8-iron, with KBS Tour-V 125x shaft, while Troy Merritt shattered the face of a Wilson Staff FG Tour V4 utility 2-iron.

But clearly this is due to playing secondary brands like Wilson and Callaway, when they should have been playing Titleist.

I have the MP H4 irons and the mid and long irons have some hollow space inside like a hybrid. I guess when I get the same swing speed as Phil I'll be concerned about this. LOL

Note sure about the iron with the broken face. Phil is a lefty and the iron it right handed

The iron was apparently Troy Merritt... Not Phil

You must have missed the term "these clubs" and the words "these" and "players". The point was that it happened twice in one tournament.

I don't get the point of this thread. Some clubs broke? Big deal. One of the members here broke two Callaway fairway woods just this past winter.

It was a joke designed to address the issue of people whining about non OEM clubs.
