I'm a younger golfer and I typically carry the ball around 265ish. Me and a couple of guys were playing 18 holes and I hit a solid drive but it sounded weird.... As the round progessed my accuracy and didstance worsened and I noticed 2 small cracks at the base of the shaft could this be the reason why or am I just horrible at golf?

Cracks in a shaft, be it irons or woods; is never a good thing, especially on a driver. I would have it re-shafted quickly before I used it again. Is it a new club, i.e., still under warranty? If so I would bring it back to the store, they should re-shaft it under the warranty. If you're driving it 265 yards that means you have a good swing speed, (unlike us older guys), and a crack will definitely impact your drive.

    • Lemme guess….’ We don’t want any confrontation so nobody says anything.’ Sheesh…..Call him out and fix the problem.
    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
    • This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
