Cracked RBZ Driver Head

[backNine29]

My RBZ driver head cracked this morning. Never had this happen with any other drivers I have used. Is this unusual for TaylorMade? Curious. Driver is under warranty and will be replaced at no cost.

I've never seen it happen personally. That's cool that TM is going to give you a new one.

I had a cobra driver that the face caved on, there was a thin crack along the top if the face just like that. It's the one and only time I have seen it happen.

It happens though. Most companies are good about replacing though.

Wow, I've never seen it before either.

I've heard if it happening before. Probably a microscopic imperfection that caused the fail over time.

No way. Dude is just a stud.

Imperfection? No, I crush it...

It happens all the time with every manufacturer. It sucks, but TM will take care of you. And if they don't have the model you have, they'll likely give you a SLDR for no charge.

Made in China. Me so solly. Me make new one. You see.

Wait. What? Don't have my model? A stock RBZ. If they send me a SLDR something would be seriously wrong in their warehouse. I won't hold my breathe over the next couple of weeks.

Let me know if they don't take care of you (which I'm sure they will).

 

[backNine29]

Yes, I will post an update.

I've got a cracked R540. can I get a new SLDR as well?

RBZ S2
SLDR x 5 different models at least
R1 models
Jetspeed models

That's a ton of models since the RBZ was released. Who knows what they're still carrying for older versions...and in the TM world, your driver is archaic. LOL.

It's not uncommon for OEM's to substitute models for new releases. It wouldn't shock me if they did. I"m not saying they will, but it happens routinely.

No, because they know you were hitting rocks with yours and there's no way you could break one under normal circumstances.
