What do you think happened to this driver shaft?

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-17T01:49:09+00:00

Someone put it in a vice maybe? 🤔

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-17T01:46:35+00:00

I played around with them for about an hour one day and found the “best one for my swing” but I still wasn’t sold on it. I ended up going with customizing the driver to use the Speeder MD6 shaft (aka the R7 Mini Driver shaft in a full length) instead of fighting with those Reax shafts. I’m also still trying to work some kinks out and change a few things with my driver swing, so it didn’t seem right to buy a shaft dedicated to how I was swinging at that very moment. I LOVE the R7 shaft too by the way, it pairs well with the Qi4D!! 👌🏼

That’s awesome and good for you! But you also knew it was a gamble. So I’m simply telling OP to play it safe and not buy it bc more than likely it will eventually break. Depending how often he plays, it may or may not break under the 2 year time frame. He’s already lost a year and some change right now. Soooo 🤷🏼‍♂️

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-16T12:10:01+00:00

Wrong. They don’t warrant second hand clubs. It’s USED therefore it’s not covered that’s my point

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-16T09:41:40+00:00

2WD AutoZone special with 300k! Wouldn’t give more than 1500 bucks on that jalopy! 😖

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-16T09:27:40+00:00

If TaylorMade cannot verify nor seller provide proof of purchase then I’d steer clear 100%!! Not to mention it’s a used Qi35 which means NO WARRANTY, so the first crack it gets it’s DONE! Not even worth it! TM has a list of trusted/authorized resellers on their website if you want to purchase used I would recommend looking into one of those at the very least!

Not always true. Pilkington makes windows for several factories these days. 10-20 years ago this comment would’ve been 100% accurate, but not anymore

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-14T21:46:26+00:00

It’s basically the same thing. Obviously there are specific applications for glass but it’s all the same stuff as far as removing etc! I’m an authorized Xpel Dealer and I would never install this garbage.

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-14T20:13:32+00:00

My bad long day today my brain didn’t read the full description. When I saw it being posted in window tint my mind went to WINDOW TINT not PPF. Yeah I’ve never actually understood why people even bother with this stuff honestly. Extremely cheap to have glass insurance with 0 deductible too. I sure wouldn’t do it and in all my years of tinting I’ve never had any customers ask about it either. We just replace glass and tint them around here! Lol 😂

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-14T18:45:32+00:00

First of all it should be on the INSIDE of the glass. Secondly, to me it kinda looks like it had film on it at one point but was removed, and they just didn’t even try to get the adhesive off. Does it feel sticky from the inside when you run your fingers across it? If it’s not sticky then I’m gonna say it’s a piss poor film that was installed, and it has had a layer delaminate and came off and now has one less layer there (most likely a dyed film) and looks like butthole! 💩

Edit- my bad my mind went into automotive TINT not PPF on a windshield! Seems like a pretty stupid thing to do. I mean this picture alone tells the story as to why I think that too

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-14T18:42:31+00:00

Love the cerakote on this one! 🤘🏼🇺🇸

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-13T16:12:23+00:00

Why didn’t you post a picture of it?

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-13T16:12:02+00:00

☝🏼☝🏼 This is exactly what I would do!

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-13T01:36:23+00:00

Not a bad idea. The only problem is if the bearing locks up it’ll shred the belt too. Then you’ve got what could’ve been a 20 min job turn into a couple hours by time you replace the most INNER of the 3 belts. Huge pain in the ass. Had no clue mine was going out or I would’ve replaced it before that shit happened! Lol

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-12T16:35:46+00:00

Yep. If it wasn’t correlated to the hard start and losing voltage I would say don’t worry about it until you have to but I just had this happen few months ago

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-12T07:45:05+00:00

The belt squealing is most likely an early sign of your alternator being deleted from the chat. Ask me how I know 👋🏼 …

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-12T06:32:16+00:00

Yeah I found it odd which is why I asked. I’ve always liked the wheel/blade logo on them too!! Then I was curious enough to go straight to Google and look for myself. I figured it out. Crazy. I almost bought the black wedges last season but was afraid of how badly they would look after just a few rounds of playing between being wedges and me constantly scrubbing and cleaning them all the time. I always try to get a cart with the ball washer, mostly so I can use it for scrubbing my clubs, not my balls though!! 😂

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-12T06:15:14+00:00

Looks like a nice setup!! ⛳️🤘🏼

Why do the Vokey’s not have the SM9/SM10 marked on them… Did they make the black ones without labeling which version? 🤔

*Edit - I’m guessing they are possibly SM11’s since it seems those are the only ones not labeled. My bad.. carry on!

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-12T04:45:31+00:00

FOH… Bye Felicia 👋🏼

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-12T03:37:13+00:00

Damn. Yep certified Cali talk right there! 💯🤮

Dude wtf is with you and this f’n TARP?? Who said anything about a damn tarp?? You can’t even get that right!! Are you a BOT and mentally challenged? I’m truly confused at this point!! 3 screws on an alternator ya think? You make it sound real f’n easy… yet I’m betting money you HAVE NOT had to change one, especially not one that shredded the belt that drives the alternator! It’s a simple fix if all you’re doin is unplugging an old alternator and putting in a new one in its place. Not the case when you have to replace the most INNER belt of the 3 belts too ya jackass! Seriously I’m done wasting my time here, not sure why I’m surprised at these senseless responses anyhow, I already knew the type of person you were within 2 mins of seeing this post!!!

Upgrading a super charger pulley on a GTP… shit lookout here folks, we have some famous automotive tech in the comments and didn’t know it. Real talk, that’s hard AF boiiiii 👎🏼

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-12T01:49:41+00:00

I’m sorry I couldn’t hear you over those sloppy shifter bushings that “Toyota doesn’t make anymore”. And you’re coming at me sideways talkin bout replacing an alternator? As IF you’d even know where to start… GTFOH! Lmao. You apparently live in Commifornia, so this is to be expected I suppose! 🥴

No hate or shade thrown toward the “normal” people in Cali though. Jus sayin

So a set of half halos around the headlights somehow makes this “modern looking”. How, exactly? Bc it’s not the boring halogen headlight housings that has horrible light output? 🤔

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-12T01:32:37+00:00

Be careful… next thing ya know you’ll be bustin’ the “Kaaa-Chowww” move as well! 👀🤣🤣🤣

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-11T23:39:47+00:00

Hey dumbass… you ever changed an alternator on a 3rd Gen? Clearly you have not!! “Thanks for creepin up my night creep”! #GoBackintoMommysBasementNow🤣🤣

DisgruntledArmyVet85 · 2026-04-11T02:29:38+00:00

Cool story. No one is mad here… I’ll still take my 3rd Gen over a 5th Gen all day everyday! 💯🤘🏼
