ant Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 man, that sux! tho i guess if you are after that much performance you gotta pay the price and not just sticker price. the pic posted it looks shattered, breakage in several places, that must have been very fragile to begin with. either that or its manufacturing/materials defects but its unlikely since i dont believe those guys have any serious volumes to get that sloppy. My colleague broke his LY01 just by leaning on it to tee his ball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just really unlucky...... can you imagine if you leaned to place your ball and the tee than snap.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 well folks i broke one today as well :( UST shaft, tip section, very close to drivers head, breakage looks similar to broken Crazy in that picture posted just in a single place not four. practicing on the range, off tall rubber tee, little if any contact with the mat, came out as nice shot actually then once the shaft went to the neck/shoulders and stopped i hear this sound similar to walking on thin ice, kinda like glass being fractured slowly, behind me so i bring that driver back in front of me and its head is basically hanging on very thin outer layer of the shaft and shaft core is broken like glass, snapped in two. stupid thing is that shaft never seen any abuse, never lean on it or anything so its not like i have seen this one coming. funny thing is that its far from being high end shaft but the sound it made and how that broken shaft core looks inside i'd say there is plenty of glass or similar in it. must have been a manufacturing or materials defect in my case tho, been playing it for awhile, out of warranty of course. good excuse to get a new driver i guess ;) i dint like it much anyway, too high and closed for my liking but i got used to it and it worked reasonably well.

I actually experienced first hand with my golf buddy's 3 FW , similar to your case. The shaft was Diamana Alisei. Well i guess you really have to get a new driver. "or shaft" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 i'm thinking new driver, was eying new RC model and upcoming MP Craft anyway. like i said didnt like the old one much anyway, it way kinda one trick pony. was going too high and while the shaft itself was a wee bit too soft for me i think the head had CG more at the back and even tho it claimed 9.5 i dunno what the real angle was, could have been 10.5 or 11 or who knows what plus i wanna deeper face coz my misses are vertical plus it should let me play some with ball placement too. maybe the old one sensed my thoughts and committed seppuku so to speak.

ant Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 :) need to find time to go get on a monitor and figure out what my numbers are right now. hopefully after that i can get some opinions and advise on this forum regarding shafts currently on the market to help me narrow down my shaft choice to go well with particular head before pulling the trigger on a new driver. coz getting right shaft is tough and it probably has the biggest influence on how that driver will perform for me. LOL, enjoy your new driver to be ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
