Luc_Van_Daele for the average golfer, true. For guys at 115+, it absolutely can. I have caved several driver faces and gave up completely on composite crown drivers back in the early 2000’s because they broke too. In LD, drivers go through a “break in” period, where you need to hit it about 100-150 times to get to optimal performance, then you get extra hot faces right before they break.
With a guy hitting hundreds of drives a day at 120MPH, I have no doubt that face has more rebound than it did new. If it was a hand selected head at the limits off the line, I bet Rory is right, it’s not going to pass. I have a DB455 I bet wouldn’t pass, that thing is hotttt, it’s hit a couple thousand balls at 115-125mph, it’s a miracle it hasn’t given up… and I bought it used. Once it cracks it’s game over, but fatigued metal has more rebound until it does.
