Head of golf driver keeps flying off. Time to scrap it?
A friend gave me a used Ping driver last year, and on my 10th swing with it, the head of the club flew off into the range. The shaft was cracked at the bottom, so over the winter I had it re-shafted with a mid-grade shaft. My first time at the range this year, the head flew off again; this time the glue had merely failed with no damage to the shaft. I took it back to the golf store, where they re-glued it for free. I let it sit for a couple weeks, then took it out to the course this past weekend. While warming up at the range, the head flew off yet again on only my second swing. I’ve heard so much about how difficult it is to break a club, even if you occasionally clip the ground in your swing, yet I’ve apparently gotten pretty good at it.
Should I just scrap this driver and get a new one, or is this an issue of repeatedly poor repair jobs? I’m very reluctant to hit the driver anymore, and I don’t have the same problems with my 3 and 5 woods.
Honestly, if it were me I would ask for a refund of any money paid to have the driver repaired.
Then I would go out and find a new driver. I couldn’t play with a driver that I couldn’t trust to stay in one piece. Golf has too many things to think about as it is without the added distraction of wondering if the head of your driver is going to fly off at any time and possibly hurt someone.
