I wonder if anyone else has had this experience. Back in winter I got a set of ping g2 irons used but in like new condition. Shortly afterwards while on a par 3 I hit it big and fat and into the drink. While teeing up another ball i was leaning on the 7 iron and ...the head just snapped off. Being new to graphite I wondered if this was going to be a regular occurance ? I had the club repaired locally and was pleased. Yesterday...I was teeing up a ball leaning on the 8 iron as I bent over and...yep.. the head snapped off that too. Now I am not a huge guy laying all my wieght on the club as I bend over but...I am beginning to wonder ?..did a fat shot from a prior round weaken that ?..or can they snap off at just the right angle and pressure ?..I try to be cautious since the first one broke, but you know how it goes..leaning over using that club for support.Was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to then? ...Thanks

either that shafts are pull-outs from another set and the heat effected them, or they are a cheap shaft that's too thin at the hosel.

They from the factory Pings TFC regulars.........this isnt a mickey moused set.
I'd go to Ping but they only waranty for a year.

Ping makes the club head, but they don't make the shaft. there are different types of graphite which some are thicker at the tip while others are thinner and usually very durable, in your case, they are thinner, but the material is more brittle, therefore, when you leaned on it, it snapped, not once, which could be given the benefit of a doubt, but twice, which tells me that the shaft quality is not up to par.

Well I guess thats why they only stand behind the shaft for a year.
