  1. Here's what I have planned.  I just learned that one of my golf buddies has a trackman in his garage.  I am going to work up an analysis of my swing and try to figure out what I am doing to break all these darn shafts.  I will get back to you guys to let you know how that goes. 

     

    BTW thanks for all the input.  I am going to look at every possibility in order to stop breaking all this expensive equipment. 

     

    Cheers!

  2. Here's my Dilemma:

    Standing at the tee box, I wind up and connect very well. Now the only problem is that I am standing over the top of my driver in pieces.  This was not the only time or last time I would break my shaft on a golf club. 

    Let me begin with the first occasion.  I was just learning how to play golf around the age of 24.  I was at the driving range with my buddy.  He had a full set of clone clubs.  I was hitting his driver, and I swung and connected and the head only flew off.  Ok, we originally thought...these clubs were 10 years old (circa 1997), and the "glue" broke down and then I gave that clone driver it's farwell swing. 

    Fast forward to the ages of 29-31.  In that span I have broke 3 steel iron club shafts, 2 Driver Shafts, and most recently a 3-wood shaft.  I believe that I have a fast swing speed, but I haven't tested it yet.  With my iron shots I always take huge chunks 'o dirt, real nice pelts that a taxidermist would love to use :-P   Below are the clubs that I have broken the shafts:

     

    -Ping G10, Black Dot, True Temper zz65 shafts

       A-wedge, 8-iron, and 6-iron

     

    -Adams Speedline 4G Ultra-Lite 12 degree Driver,  55g Grafalloy Blue ProLaunch Regular Shaft

     

    -Callaway Diablo Edge Tour  15 Degree 3-Wood, Aldilla Voodoo SVS7 Shaft

     

    - Adams Fast 12 Driver, Stiff Stock Shaft (TESTER at local pro shop)

     

    Here's the cherry on top....Every shaft has broken over my shoulder/back on my follow-through.  The obvious comes to mind...

     

    Control your follow-through. Everything I read says that it's incredibly difficult to do such a thing. 

     

    I leave this to you.  Attached here a couple of photos that I have of the carnage...

     

    Has anyone heard or seen this happen before?
