On a similar note, I purchased a used TaylorMade R9 off Ebay the other day, and took it out to the range for the first time last night. I tend to slice, so I tried a couple of the "left" settings which straightened out my shot very well, however, the distance was poor, and the sound it made was not good. It had a very hollow sound, and even when I was hitting the sweet spot and hitting it very straight, I was getting at most 200 yards. I was easily out-driving it with my previous driver (TaylorMade R5) and my Adams 2 Hybrid. This got me thinking there was a crack or something in the head, but there is nothing visible. Has anyone ever experienced a "dead club" that did not show any kind of cracks or issues other than normal wear and tear?
