So lately I have been hitting my driver allllll over the place. And noticed my grip was moving figured it was the grip it self. Well that isn't the case.  Found out that the shaft is moving on the head! Most of my shots are in the middle of the driver which was so wierd to me I have a fairly nice swing (swing coach told me that) and I tried to move the grip and I herd a POP and the whole shaft moved on the head just a little bit. And I sharpied the head to shaft and grip to shaft yes it was the head to shaft moving with a little force (Or the force of a swing hitting a ball).  Got it from budget golf in April I think.  So I finished off my round with a 4hybrid I have in my bag and managed to bomb a few 244 yard drives off the grass no tee.  On a 516y par 5 made my second birdie after 2 4hybris shots and a 50 yard pitch to a 10'put.  Then 2 pars and a bogey the holes after.

 

anyone else have any problems with your edge like I have. 

Or is it because it came from budget golf and I think they buy blemished or mis printed stuff?

can it be fixed even tho it isn't an adjustable driver? 

 

Thanks guys and gals

You got lucky! The epoxy failure involved a shaft loosening that had a hosel bead which kept the head from flying off. When I first noticed trouble with my irons, the 7i head flew about 50 yds. down the fairway after I hit a shot. I was thankful no one was in front of me who might have gotten hit.

Over the winter, I had a 4, 5, 7, and 9 iron which needed to have the epoxy redone. (The set previously had been reshafted).

I don't know what Tour Edge will say, but give them a call. They guarantee the club as long as you own it. (I don't know if that applies to second-hand clubs or not).

When you get the shaft re-set, see if the shop will use the 24-hour cure exoxy. It will withstand higher head without breaking the seal.

Focus, connect and follow through!

John, I do believe this falls under the warranty if he registered it. 

Budget Golf sells new clubs.... And if it's TE it's typically from the manufacturer.

@Gfleck067 Did you register your driver? If you didn't you might as well take it to your local shop. If you did call Tour Edge and get an RA# I think they pay shipping both ways I'm not sure.

No I this was my first driver I really ever bough. My old clubs had a driver in the set and used that.  I wasn't Informed about registering or any type of warranty when I purchased it.  I did buy it new and I will try to contact tour  edge and see what can be done. 

 

Thank you for the insight

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
