Graphite Shaft Breakage ?

Hello,

Have a new set of Adams Tight Lies Clubs.

The graphite shaft on the 5 wood broke right at the club head; I guess it's
truly a weak point and if it is going to break, that's where you would
expect it to.

Nothing unusual caused it.
At the driving range, hit a ball, and snap.

Haven't started arguing with them yet whether it's covered by their warr.
Purchased at TGW.

Would like to ask:

a. how "common" is it for these Graphite type material shaft woods and drivers to break ?

b. I remember on a visit to GolfersWarehouse they had a sort of custom
fitting shop in the back.

Is it possible, or even a good idea, for them to drill out out the insert
that still remains in the head, and install and glue in a new shaft ?

The reason I ask if it is a practical approach, as even if it is covered by
warr., my guess is the whole season will be over before any replacement
arrives.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
B.

Re: Graphite Shaft Breakage ?

The shafts break in that spot from time to time. They will probably replace it under warranty. I can't speak for Adams Golf; but, Ping and Callaway are very responsive on warranty items. Call them and find out. They will tell you they have to look at it but odds are they will replace it. You certainly can reshaft locally if you prefer but might have an issue getting the exact same replacement shaft and of course it would not be free.
Good luck,
Bob
