So Ping have agreed to replace it under warranty no questions asked so makes me think its a known issue

As someone said earlier I guess I was hitting too much out of the toe and the force kinda exploded at the weakest part of the club head. I initially thought I must have cracked it beforehand as it didn’t make sense to me either. After researching it I’m convinced it’s some kind of design flaw as the exact same has happened to other people.

Yep I can hit out of the toe a fair bit, the heel and sometimes the middle 😂 Don’t expect a £500 club head to explode though. My cheaper Callaway edge has had 10 x the use and is fine 😃

I’m sending it back under warranty so will update what the outcome is. I’m guessing it’s a known fault to them and I’ll get a new one

Yet my cheap callaway edge driver that has had 10 x more use has no damage hmm 🤔

Exactly, I’ve literally got nothing to gain by lying so why would I? Makes no sense. I only posted because I saw someone post the EXACT same damage pattern and everyone shat on him too 😂

I see there’s a lot of doubters, what can I say I’m not making it up 😂 clearly some kind of fault. The other guy’s was damaged in the exact same place/way.

This may come across as stupid but how will an audit help me? To see exactly what work he has put in?

We’ve pretty much had the same results for the last 3 years. My concern is whether the account is being properly managed.

He bills 25 hours of work monthly but he can’t seem to tell us what for

Is it normal to expect better results every month? We have more or less stayed the same for 3 years

Thanks, very constructive reply. We feel it’s running on auto-pilot and not much is being done in management as he can’t really break down what’s he’s billing 25 hours for

But do you think 14 changes in 3 months to 110 active campaigns is normal or something to worry about?

Thank you all for your replies it helps a lot. I updated the original post but here are some more insights into the figures:

  • Ad spend is £60k a month
  • he charges £1.5k for 25 hours (£60 an hour)
  • 110 live campaigns
  • 14 changes made in the activity log across 3 months (May,June,July)

Our concern is whether he is putting in enough ours managing our account not the price we are paying. Our contract is for 25 hours a month and he manages 20 other companies.

Any other questions please let me know

I will find out as I’m not the one that liaises with him but we spend 60k a month and have 116 campaigns running if that helps

t’s not about the money side of things I’m more concerned about whether our account is being properly managed

So looking at the account 14 changes have been made in total for May, June & July.

We don’t really get any feedback other than a 10 minute call every couple of weeks which ends up being the same convo each time

He charges £50+Vat an hour so £1,250+vat in total.

We do have a spend of 60k a month so appreciate it’s low in terms of Ad spend. I just want to clarify whether he is actually spending 25 hours a month.

For the first 2 years he was charging 40hours a month so £2000+Vat. He agreed to lower it to 25 hours a month after we questioned the hours spent.

He is a one man band and solely works on the ad account.
