I don't think you can repair it, but depending on how bad it is, you still could be able to play it...... I had a big bertha that I hit it off a sand wedge ( was using it for an aim club ) and put a small dent in it and she worked just fine.
But if I had the money at the time, I would of had an excuse to get a new one.

I don't know about done for, as the performance hasn't changed a bit..guess I'm lucky huh? It' not bad, just a ding, but it is an eye sore, if nothing else. That's the last time I let someone else hit my driver!! I should've known better..but hey, stuff happens right? Anyway thanks.

I ment the dent was done for, not the club....It should be just fine, but I can't stand a scratch let alone a dent!

Where was the dent at? The toe, I assume? I know my old Hammer was extremely tough..one time I broke a chair leg in half with it, (accidentally, it was raining, and I couldn't go outside, so I swung it inside, not realizing I was slowly creeping towards the kitchen..) and it didn't even leave so much as a scratch!

Sorry for being off topic....but it reminded me of that! I'll play with it anyway...as long as I don't look at it, it doesn't really bother me too much.

Yeah, luckily it's on the hosel side..so it's not easily seen. I think I can pop it out with one of those "pops a dent" things for cars..but I dunno, that metal is stronger than sheet metal...

Fill it in with some putty and then paint over it (or use a marker).






j/k!

There isn't enough surface area for the pops a dent suction puller and the one that uses screws is not a real good idea...that must have been a mighty mis hit!!!

Yeah, I think your right..but I think I could modify to make it work, but I'm not too concerned...as long as it hits good,(which it does)I'm not not going to stress out over it. I'll just have to pick up a new head on Ebay! Actually, the mishit wasn't even that bad..it looked to me like the club hit something, on the way to the ball, which made the club turn just enough..that's one bad thing about those 400+ CC heads, even the slightist mishit can cause a bit of damage. Oh well, could be worse! I seen a guy smash his face in on the course once. He was swinging as hard as he could, and he caught ground, and hit the middle of the ball, smashing the bottom portion of the face in, and breaking his shaft...he didn't have a driver for the rest of his game. I hope he had a good 3 wood!

You might want to just send it off to the manufacturer, you might be pleasantly surprised... Probably best to call first though.

pops a dent ya right not a chance in ****. take it to a body shop they have a stug gun that will tack a small stud on it and they can pop it out, all it will do is leave a little mark, but you can just pain over it. ive done 2 now and ya never know they were dented.

Will that work for sky ball dents as well? I had a terrible habit of skyballing my hybrids when I first got them, and they both have dents on top of the head from that....

It's not a problem, anymore, manufacturer replaced for free, I had it taken care of a week and a half ago...Wildwilly: I will keep that in mind, but in that case, I got a welder in my garage...and I know how to use it.
