Sadly, the face developed a tiny crack right in the center after a year of thousands of range balls and a number of rounds. The owner of the driving range where I bought it sent it back to Taylormade and they sent me a brand new one that was as good as the first one. I was playing in an NFL Alumni Pro Am in Philadelphia in 1985 and the shaft snapped just north of the hosel on a par 4 which was the long drive hole. The head carried about 100 yards but we never found the ball. There was a pond about 315 yards out and I saw my ball take off hot, low and straight down the middle but the fairway sloped down about 250 out so you couldn’t see the pond from the tee. I never played the course before so didn’t know about the pond. I figure the ball must have rolled into pond the way it felt and looked off the face when I hit it. The shaft snapped during the follow-through so the impact wasn’t compromised. I had the head re-shafted but it was never the same.
