My second to youngest brother just sent me this picture from his Simulator league…
So I respond with “WTF over??…are you hitting the damn mat behind the ball???” He proceeds to reply with “Nope”
He is full of 
Ummm…WTF

Consistent heel strikes can lead to shaft breakage

It looks like the shaft disintegrated below the ferrule.
Typhoon Looks like he hits it everywhere BUT the heel

Exactly…crazy…dunno if I have seen a shaft explode like this before…pile of soft fibers is what it looks like

Even with bad cataracts, I see more than 1 heel strike....why doesn't anyone else?
I'd like to see how many toe hits there are.
Weak-assed, soft tipped, OEM shaft.
Is that the stock Ping shaft.....never used or pulled from another head/adapter? Looks to me like it's been 'cooked', before being put in the adapter.
Par4QC Is that the stock Ping shaft.....never used or pulled
Yup…it is the stock Alta CB 55 stiff that came with it…don’t ask me how he “smoked” the damn thing to end up looking like this…gawd damn kids…

Well…at least now I have a buyer for the brand new Tensei AV Raw Orange stiff that is out in my shop…
Eguller Looks like it was cooked somehow.
Damn weird if you ask me…
ode Consistent heel strikes can lead to shaft breakage
Maybe he did hit it off the heel so damn hard that it exploded? He does swing fairly fast… I dunno man…
VigilanteTrail Is he ARMY?
I don't know that Ping or any OEM would replace that shaft. I think their consensus is much the same as here....abuse....if it's at the hosel/in the adapter. Would probably need to be 6" above to get a new one. (In The Rex driver company...it would be those rules.
