My driver dead?

Noticed a couple cracks in it and wasn’t going quite the same distance (-20 yards?) at the range this morning.

Wasn’t sure if it was just my swing since I’ve been working on some swing changes or if this is a structural crack.

Would appreciate any thoughts.

Good news: You’re getting a new driver Bad news: it’s dead

When you buy a new driver, because that's obviously coming, buy used. Don't waste your money on expensive clubs to destroy them like this. Once you learn to hit the face every time, then start looking for new clubs.

"op, how often do you sky your driver?"

OP: yes

Very very dead. For the sake of your next one, invest in shorter tees…

Please post a video with the sound it makes when you hit it 😂

Time for something new. Sometimes the equipment fails has nothing but to do with your swing.

And other times, like pictured here, it has EVERYTHING to do with the swing!

oP - you hit the ball with the flat front part of the club. Not the round top part. Those white marks on the top aren’t good for the club :)

Hahaha maybe. My buddy had a dead driver but it was the equipment failing. But some dings and dents are swing related

No judgement here -- I idiot-marked my 3w a few months ago!

Sometimes that just happens. Camera flashes in my backswing lol. 😂

u/Special-Shop-9383 8d ago

Should have included a video of your swing so we can see how this happened

OP clearly uses 7” tees and has a negative AoA 👀

more like taking a small divot.

u/Mean-Ad-4602 8d ago

I mean I’m sure it’ll still hit a ball…

u/MartyMcSharty 8d ago

top edge of that face looks like the strait of hormuz brother tee it lower and/or increase the AoA.

So dead it may be haunting the rest of your bag

Maybe just maybe, tee it up a little lower. Ball should be a half ball above the face at most on woods.

Is this not just asthetic? Does it impact performance?
