Not that I'm happy about it, but I broke 4 clubs this year. It was the first time in a long time that I had done so. All were just shafts and easily replaced. But I should work on anger management on the course. Drive Did a Bo Jackson over the knee, Pw threw straight down hard ground wasn't expecting to break, 52 hit a tree a couple times, 56 still broke I'm not sure what I did, I don't remember. My excuse I didn't buy any of these clubs so cost of the shaft is I small investment.

I have never broken a club, but a friend had the epoxy fail on three of his irons in 9 holes. Also, in a tourney this summer, a guy I was playing with had his 4 iron break about a 1/4 of the way up the shaft. It was a good shot too, 230 in the middle of the fairway!

In high school, I bought a set of Hogan Edges with graphite Aldila shafts the day before a district tourney. Warming up on POS range mats prior to my tourney tee time, heads on the 5-7 iron sheared off and flew down the range. Turns out the DIY guy I bought them from neglected to bevel out the hosels before installing the graphite shafts. Trying not to take divots while playing around the 4i to 8i gap definitely made for an interesting loop.

I've broken four clubs in my life and only one was my fault. When I played in high school and would hit a bad approach, the offending club was whacked against the leg of my golf bag. Eventually my PW had enough and, mid swing one day, the shaft broke about 4 inches down inside my grip.

The second time I was hitting range balls on a cold day under the heaters and I caved in the face on my Cleveland Hibore hybrid.

Third time I was at the range hitting balls and a kid who worked there asked if I wanted to hit the new Tour Edge driver. I saw that it was an R flex and I said that I probably shouldn't. He said I would be fine after watching me hit a few more balls so I agreed. First swing with it, the head went farther than the ball (center contact) and he had to stop everyone from hitting so he could grab it.

Last time was at the end of this year. Hit a drive on the first tee that sounded funny, looked down and I think the picture says it all. Luckily, Wilson replaced it at no cost.

None to rage, one to my driver head just snapped off the shaft

I have only ever broken one club before but it was due to getting damaged during a flight. 3 wood Head flew off on the first swing.

Yeah it's about 10 years old or so. It went from that nice tink sound to a wack , it sound like a plastic bottle being hit by a softball bat. Now I have to find a new driver, wife told me I have to hold off till next spring. Good thing season is about over here in Colorado.

I have thrown a club across a stream and gotten it stuck in a tree and a putter into quick sand?

 

Does that count?

 

Both were when I was in college and there may have been some alcohol involved.

 

I've grown up and clubs are too expense plus too dangerous if ever they would break from being thrown.

 

I have had a club break while swinging it a couple of times. That's a scary feeling.

I was 16 when I broke my last club.  Broke the shaft of my driver over a bench after a bad drive.  I went home and told my father what happened and that I needed my driver re-shafted.  He asked if I had the money to fix it.  The answer was no.  His comment: "you'd better practice hitting your 3 wood a long way".

 

That was the last club I broke in anger..over 50 years ago!

My thoughts on breaking clubs...

 

1. You look like a child throwing a tantrum, it's a bad shot. Get over it.

2. Instead of breaking the club why not rip a $100 bill in half. It's the same thing throwing money away

3. This isn't the PGA tour and you aren't playing for millions

 

and most important

 

4. We aren't good enough at golf to get that upset over a bad shot.

Took me a long time to learn these rules, but I got there. Better late than never, I suppose. I've only ever broken one; tossed (threw?) it and it hit the cart and broke the shaft.

Now, I just toss them disgustedly a few feet away from me. Let's them know how disappointed I am in them... 🤣

Just one this year!! 2016 M1 caved in on my and cracked on the crown! Hoping TM steps up and sends me a new one! Only used it for one season, but I've read that they had some issues.

Keep us posted on that one. Curious how they handle it. Only warranty stuff I've ever had was with Callaway, and they were really good.

Had a driver snap right across the crown but it was an older driver. No rage breaks
