Anyone seen anything like this before. I have emailed Ping in America and I will call American golf in Sydney tomorrow.

What are my chances ?

I nearly drove the 17th at Reddie Bay, was about 30m off the front, then got to the 18th tee and noticed it. Its my pride and joy:cry:

Been telling everyone you're a flusher for ages, this finally proves it.

I have dealt with Ping Aus with US clubs, and they generally aren't interested. Ping US is your best bet.

Ok I heard back from Ping. Reason it cracked is the constant hitting out of the middle of the club face.

Did you loan it to Lagerlover?

That is right in his sweetspot.

This seems more like the reason than middle clubface :)

So are they going to replace it?

Seen a few G30 drivers on golfwrx cracked in the hosel like that, shouldn't have any issues getting a replacement.

Just hope for your sake you get a replacement with serial number because the replacement head I got from Titleist when I cracked the face/leading edge didn't have one and it's now worthless except as as a spare!

No I was just joking with peppas. I will call them tomorrow.

That adapter may be what caused it to crack, doesn't look like the original one or any other after market ones I have had, pretty sure that they only adjust 1/2 degree and that says 3/4 maybe it didn't match up with the hosel correctly.

It's a billy bobs adapter. Have used them before without any issues, so not really sure. It fits the same as the other tips I have here.

If they're going to be pricks about replacement they will use the non genuine adaptor as an out.
Do you have an original/shaft to put in there?

Yeah I have 2 here. There are 2 threads on golfwrx, one about the g30 and one about i25 drivers both doing this.

A friendly courier driver has just dropped off a box containing a brand new 9.5 head wrapped in plastic, with a serial number.

Well done Ping. Great service.

Now what do I do with the $750 bucks worth of SLDR gear I bought while waiting for this to come back?

Ping wrench. The latest one for the I25. Probably only changed the shaft about 4 times. Went kiyoshi purple, bb6, purple, bb6 over about 2 months.
