Well, the front fell off.
Happened to me with my 2-iron from 240 out. Ended up at 8 feet.
In summation, Rory and I are the same.
Taylormade 🙄
All joking aside, little embarrassing for the club sponsors when this happens. Even though it has nothing to do with it, was just the sealant.
Clearly, he needs a new caddie.
Happened to me in a US open qualifier a couple years ago. Missed it by a couple shots. I got short sided in a bunker from that swing, took a double.
Mossad strikes again
Something similar happened to a friend of mine at the driving range a few weeks ago. Except it was a shitty top flight iron.. and the ball went 30 yards.. embarrassing for TaylorMade tbh
Looks like epoxy failure – shaft is still fully intact
Rory’s acting like it not two pieces of metal glued together. And explodes to a bit much, I’m sure some epoxy and that club is playable.
TAYLOR MADE = Quality 🤢
Happened to me playing PGA west on a par three. 6 iron head went down the line and the shot ended up 10-15 feet. That I then missed.
Was because I had my clubs in the trunk all day and the desert heat wanted to play oven with my trunk.
It’s a cool video, but It’s actually not surprising that it was a good shot.
Rory is one of the best ball strikers in the world. He always hits ball first and then ground. The club failure seems to be an epoxy issue, which only comes into play at hard contact (mostly ground contact). Though it’s fractions of a second apart, the ball is already in flight when his equipment failed.
He still goes for the club twirl after a bit.
Recently reshafted some of my clubs. This is in the back of my mind every time I swing one of them and it’s been months.
The guys in that Taylor made tour truck are gonna get a bollocking for that hahahaha
Ive duffed my driver and the ball hasnt gone as far as Rorys club head did there
I had that happen to my 3i at the driving range one time. I think I still have it around someplace now that I think about it
We got no majors, we got no wives, our club’s heads are falling off?!
It provided a longer follow through, thus better accuracy. We should all strive to explode our clubs on every shot
This happened to my newly re shafted 3 iron the other day except the head of my iron went further than my ball 🥲
HIS HEAD FELL OFF!
Rules official be like: There’s nothing wrong with that club.
He just like me! (my stealth 8i had the head fly off at the driving range and it was very embarrassing)
This happened to my old 8 iron, and the ball ended up about 15 feet from the pin. I didn’t see the ball at all, just my club head flying about 50 yards down the fairway.
To be ready in Lloyd Christmas’ voice:
We almost got divorced, I blew up at yet another major, my clubs HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!!!
“That’s what happens with cheap clubs”
What some Karen bitch yelled at 13-year-old me when my driver head flew off at a driving range.
~~The club went further than the ball!~~
Nvm
Done this many times in the last few years, thanks KBS. Everytime the hall goes straight and is a great shot. My witnesses agree. Super weird.
“Explodes”
Can’t wait for Rors to post on here about TM’s lack of QA on their products and the eventual free replacement to the latest model.
