If the club is broken or damaged enough that it could cause problems in its proper functioning during the normal course of play you're allowed to replace it. Like if the head flies off when you take a normal swing. However, if you snap it over your knee in anger or slam it on a tree trunk or something like that, you're not allowed to replace it. At least that's how I've thought of that rule.
What if it was to accidentally slip out of your hand and fly into, say a pond or something? Not that I would have any firsthand experience with this or anything. Just posing a question
Why was Chris Dimarco allowed to exchange drivers when the driver head became loose???
I thought if you broke a club like a putter for example you could not replace it.
USGA Rule 4-3 covers this situation. I'd post it verbatim but Stlcard_25 gave us the general idea. If your club is broken, damaged, or altered in the normal course of play you may replace it. You may not replace it if you intentionally break, damage, or alter the playing characteristics.
If your knee gets in the way of your normal swing, then you've got some serious problems on your hands...not only swing and broken club-related, but I don't think your knee would feel too swell after getting hit with a driver head.

LOL..just the thought of that is hurting my knee right now!
