I am having the same problem. I have Taylor made Sim driver. I got fitted for less than 1 year ago. I have broken 3 shafts ( Hzrdus xstiff). I am really not sure what to do going foward. I have never had a driver shaft break until I got a new driver? I am wondering should I get a steel Shaft or heavier graphite shaft?

Just had a less than month old Ventus do the same thing. Snapped off at hosel, no abuse, and while I tend to hit toward the toe my misses are not that extreme. Waiting to hear back from Fujikura on that one.

I just snapped my 2nd shaft within a year yesterday. 1st shaft I snapped was a Stiff Tour AD and the second was a Hazardous X Stiff shaft. Both snaps occured on my Mizuno ST200G. I am a big hitter that swings in the of 120 and I tend to carry the ball about 300 yards average. I am not most consistent ball striker with my driver and 3 out of 10 shots can be slightly heel-ly. That being said, I have never struck the hosel before.

 

I used to have a callaway big bertha driver and it had never snapped throughout the 6 years I used it. Not sure if its a club issue or I am just a bad ball stricker with the driver.

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
