Had a strange thing happen to me on the course Saturday. On a regular swing from the fairway, the head broke off my new Nike Mach Speed 6-iron -- it just flew off with a high-pitched "ping" sound. There was no divot, and it felt like a whiff, so I think the clubhead came off just BEFORE impact. The club-head "flew" about 40 yards and the ball went about 150.
The steel shaft broke about 1/4-inch above the top of the hosel., i.e., inside the ferrule.
When I took the club into the shop where I bought it, the pro noticed that the shaft was paper-thin at the break point. We compared it to another TT steel shaft, which was about 4X thicker at the tip.
Anyway, now I'm waiting for Nike to replace it.
