That is a lot of wear and tear on a club you've had for only 2 years. It is possible you've just hit it so much that the face caved in? I've never seen it happen in person, but I know tour pros will crack the faces of their fairway woods and drivers occasionally.

Yes I think the face was weak already though. I got it coming into college and really just used it off the tee. Never had or seen it before.

I called customer service again told me to go to Dicks for help but if I did not have a receipt I would be SOL. Who saves receipts from clubs? I am starting now. So, I browsed the intrawebs and found the key accounts rep email and emailed him. He has been very helpful especially after I voiced my displeasure. He wanted to know a course near me to go through and I gave him the name of the club I work at. He said he would call them tomorrow and organize a replacement through them if possible. I'm looking forward to what comes of this. After multiple calls I'm excited someone will help.

If you bought it on Dick's rewards program, they may have a record of the purchase against your rewards account.

Cracked clubs like yours are something that engineers would like to see.  I worked with Adams as a customer of my company and they want to see any and every club that a customer viewed as 'failed' in any way.  Helps them with design.

I think if you take your 3-wood to any retailer who handles the line, they'd ship it back and get you a new one.  I've done it a few times with clubs that weren't purchased from the retailer I approached.  They gladly took the clubs, shipped them back and called me when replacements arrived.

One guy on my league crushed the face on Ping drivers twice.  After the second was replaced, no questions asked, he sold the brand new replacement driver and went back to TM.

Send 'er back!

Absolutely! It is very hard to diagnose a failure from a picture. We always plead to the customer to send back the product and even provide shipping cost.

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
