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.
)
VigilanteTrail He does swing fairly fast…
Jake hit a drive yesterday, and I told him to look at the face, and see where he hit the ball. It went, but I knew from the flight where he hit it. Dead on the heel, almost missed the whole ball, but no paint mark. Warned him about shaft breakage.
After further thought…what about unintentional (or intentional 
) twisting of the head as the causal factor?
Does it matter why or how it broke? I'm going with a 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll.
sdandrea1 Does it matter why or how it broke?
Yes it matters ya crabby bastage! 
I want the truth dammit!! 
VigilanteTrail jmo, but those shafts are weak. I've 'waggled' the drivers in stores and the S flex seems whippy for even my miniscule biceps.
I sold a set of Ping irons last summer to a fella that proceeded to break 3 shafts, at the hosel....those TFC. I did get to play in a tourney with him last Fall and could see that it was not from hitting the ground. Hard, fast swing....wrong flex/wrong shaft.
Your bro may just be a beast and you won't admit it.
Par4QC Your bro may just be a beast and you won't admit it.
This is in complete violation of the sibling bylaws…never will that admission be communicated…
He is a beast alright…a beast that doesn’t know how to consistently hit a damn driver!
Like that, do you??
