I recently bought a new nike VR tour driver (9.5 loft) with a project X 6.0 shaft.
I've been noticing some problems with it, and I'm wondering if this particular situation has happened to anyone else.
After a couple driving range sessions with it, I noticed the shaft rotated 90 degrees. When I got the club, the "Golf Pride" on my grip, as well as the "Project X" writing on the shaft were lined up and directly facing down to the ground at address. If you were to think of it like a clock, the writing was at the 6'o clock position. After hitting it at the range, it went to the 3 'o clock position.
So I went to my local golf repair shop, and they said the head was loose and they needed to redo the epoxy. Fine. It was only a 4$ fix.
I got the club back today, and went to the driving range again. 10 hits in, I notice that the shaft was slowly rotating to the left this time. I was definitely getting frustrated, since I just supposedly got it fixed, it was doing it again! However, the rotation was not as drastic this time around. I decided to keep hitting the driver a couple more times, and the most interesting part is that it slowly rotated back to where it was originally.
This is definitely odd, can anyone shed some light on this situation, or have any experiences with this you could share? I'm not a bad golfer (15 handicap), so I'm definitely not mis-hitting the club terribly or hitting the mat before the ball. Just normal contact is causing the shaft to rotate and twist.
