Is a dent in my driver a cause for concern?

Question

I am new to golf. Just started about 6 months ago and love it. I was playing today and about half the way trough our round a buddy asked me how I dented my driver. I had no idea, but its about the size of a quarter on the side of the club head.

Is this a big issue? Will it cause problems hitting the ball? Does it have to be replaced?

Answer 1

If the dent is not on the striking surface of the club( the club face proper) you have no problem with the continuing use of the club. You will get a lot of dents during your playing career. some which can be repaired and some which render a club useless.

Answer 2

Club have all sorts of wear and tear. But if the dent is on the club face then it could cause issues. Make sure the dent does not become a crack, because a crack on the club head could cause the club to have defective performance.

Answer 3

As long as it is not on the club face your probably ok.
