I'll ask.
Probably not a good idea to hit below 45 degrees. Balls are rock hard and the materials on these clubs are paper thin these days.

He said that it made an "Hell of a noise" when it happened. Can you imagine?

This worries me now. Got a new GBB and went golfing today with the temperature in the mid 30s. Club still looks good.

If I had to guess, I would say there was something structurally compromised with that head prior to this happening...
Oh no!

That's no bueno. I normally don't hit balls below 40*. I have never seen a head break like that but have seen the face cave in

I may hit W/S Duo's exclusively until the temps get above 50*, but that could be a while since it's about 18* in the middle of the day today. That's a crazy break on that head though, never seen anything like that.

Ouch! I play pretty much year round, in some real cold - luckily haven't run into that before!

That hurts. R9 with an otherwise clean crown, that was someone's baby...
OUCH! That is painful to look at!

hacking away everyday.
Wow. Never seen a head destroyed that bad.
I would tend to agree with that.

Fat b4 the shafts were
Gotta be a flaw in the head. We hold scrambles until there's too much snow down to play at all, often in temperatures below freezing. I can't recall anyone having a failure like that, and I'd imagine that story would get around the clubhouse pretty quickly.
