garyt1957 It's rare that a company will replace a shaft if it breaks at the hosel. They know how it happens. They will replace if it snaps higher, and some require at least 5" up.
It is hard, when watching anyone swing a club, to actually see the club hit the ground, unless dirt/grass flies. Drivers won't dig like an iron so you really will never see it. Need to look at bottom of face and sole. Tale of the tape.😉
Even Steve's suggestion of steel won't help. He will bend the tips.
He must have a hellish dig after hitting an iron.
