What would you have done ?

[AllyLodge]

After not getting on with my tmwoods ever since I got them, I decided to check some other clubs out. The Nike vr pro were brilliant, great ball flight and felt great off the face.
Was going to flog them when I get back from hols.
Went to the range tonight with my twin brother. He is a complete novice, but fairly enjoys the game. (you can see where this is going)

Takes out my rbz 3 wood and gives it a few shanks.
He then turns to me and says "you know this club has a dent in it ?

The tee was too high, and he dented it. I was fairly angry at first, but when it all set in I realised he didn't do it on purpose.
But when I asked him to pay me for it, he obviously declined.
I am still fairly peeved but I guess I shouldn't have given it to him in the first place.

What would you have done ?

Was he swinging correctly? How could it get a dent there from a ball?

 

[Hobbit]

I've roofed plenty of balls down the years and never seen anything more than a scratch on the paint work. I'd be inclined to think something else has happened to that.

I literally have no idea ! He was swinging correctly, not messing about as I told him not to. But one or two went 90 degrees right and that's when I decided to stop him.
But the tee was very high, and I should have noticed that
But I do know that it wasn't there when we went out, I cleaned them yesterday and there was no dent. :/

I smell some porkies somewhere along the line.

 

[AllyLodge]

Frankly I did start to think afterwards that it couldn't have been him, but he has admitted to it.
But, and I should have made this clearer, I'm not sure whether it was the ball or the structure of the driving range he hit.
Would be a pretty hard ball !

 

[bobmac]

No way thats a ball mark.
That hit something on the range

 

[CMAC]

its the range!

However, he is your twin bother so move on and let him use a £5 job from the second hand bag next time

 

[AllyLodge]

Sorry for the confusion everyone.
Have just found it was my sisters boyfriend when he shoved my golf club in the car without any consideration and it smacked against something.
He was my sisters boyfriend. Not anymore

She dumped him because he dented your golf club?

Dent my club and I dent you - simples

 

[swanny32]

Ouch, that's going to leave a sour taste in your mouth for sure. I'd have probably wrapped it round his head.....act first then ask questions later!

As you appear to have found out who the culprit was I'd ask him nicely to buy you a new stick, if you don't get anywhere with that then get yourself down the shop and buy a new one. Someone will still give you some money for that on eBay so stick it on there to recoup some of the cost.

 

[tarmac]

doesnt matter how he did it.."sky it you buy it"

 

[Deke]

I agree with Homer and tarmac,crush him,dumped or not I would be after his blood!

A good answer to that "no i dumped him for her"

Kevin Costner style?

If I remember rightly from Wentworth, the TM guys mentioned that the RBZ tooling was quite exacting as the crown was very very thin and they had to design it in such a way that it was less susceptible to knocks as the thicker, heavier materials were used on the sole of the club to keep the CG where they wanted it.

In fact found this, the crown is especially thin away from the front of the crown though. Id say it wa possible to dent it, especially when there is a lack of broken paint from a harder surface.

Have you tried hitting with it ? The dent might just have cured your problems.
