Cracked Graphite shaft under the grip


Recommended Posts

Hello,

  When I tap my T 200 4 iron with a graphite shaft on the ground, it sounds like a wooden baseball bat that has a crack in it or is broken.  If you ever used wooden bats you know what I mean.  I have examined the shaft, no signs.  When I hold the grip tight or a certain way it doesn't make that sound.  Should I be concerned?  I plan on pulling the grip, thinking I can coat it with epoxy and stop the noise.  And I have not noticed any difference in performance.  What do you think?

      Thanks,

                      Matt

Wow, I’d replace it. You could hurt yourself or someone else. Not that expensive considering what golf costs.

Get something new. As others have said injury and more could await the next swing which is terrifying.

another consideration is that you have foreign material in the shaft that is causing the sound. In either case taking off the grip will let you know there is know and do
