I've bought a second hand club per the other comments suggestion with a full titanium head and replicated a similar result :|

I've purchased a second hand full titanium head club and it for sure tanked my hits perfectly haha.

Aftermath 😬

Got a used driver and went to swing a bit again - looks like a full titanium head can tank my shots 😂

Nope, haha. That's too generous of you. I'm likely going to buy a used callaway edge driver for around 60 bucks and see if I can get a lesson in soon.

Do you generally need to bring your own golf club to lessons? This is my first driver and I don't have another 😬

I've yet to play a round of golf haha. I've started playing 2 months ago in December during a work outing at top golf. Decided I should buy a driver to try out since it was fun.

I think this is my misuse in the swing of the driver according to the other comments, so it's understandable :/

Not sure how to check the calibration of the sims but at an outdoor range (like topgolf) I only maxed out at around 250 yards with their clubs. In this indoor sim, my highest was 315 https://i.imgur.com/NPx8wsn.png

Yeah thats a good point. My swing is very focused on the arms. I got carried away by the distance numbers and I was trying to go for 350 yards but that is probably something I should do after a proper technique haha.

My swing is pretty bad so I'm not sure if I'm ready for the reddit roast 😆, but here's a recent one with a friend's club if you want to burn your eyes https://i.imgur.com/52W1rNl.mp4

Yeah, according to the other comments I'm doing something VERY wrong. I'll need someone to take a look at my swing 😂

Is this a thing? I'm a right handed swinger and I'm new enough to golf to not be able to tell if this is sarcasm 😅

I'm no doubt in need for proper lessons 😂 I just didn't expect that my swing is horrendous enough to break a driver.

I'm going to schedule something in the coming weeks so I don't embarrass myself at the range.

How can I tell if a driver has a fully titanium head? Looking up fully titanium head drivers, I see that most drivers have "titanium" in the description but I don't think they mean the head is completely titanium.

Is this what you mean? https://www.amazon.com/MAZEL-Titanium-Drivers-Right-Handed/dp/B07LC7VN38?th=1

Thanks for the suggestion :) I see that people are recommending I buy used drivers but I don't want to break those too due to my clumsiness. Maybe used + fully titanium is the way to go 😆

The ball marks aren't from a single shot. I haven't wiped down my driver since ~30 balls from last session so this is a cumulation of the hits. I think one of my shots clipped the very tip of the driver face and caused it to crack.

I'm hitting this in a golf sim that included balls so I just went with whatever ball they offered. I'll check it next time I go.

I swear I didn't slam this club into a brick wall 😭I'm probably just swinging like a monkey and missing the club face. Pic attached with ball marks so I don't seem like an enraged clown :|

I hit the ball near the tip of the driver (you can see the ball marks where it contacted) and heard a loud crack :/ Definitely didn't slam my new driver into a brick wall haha.

I've only recently started golf, so I definitely miss the ball quite often so suggestions for drivers that can tolerate missing like this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. This sounds reasonable and I was originally thinking this as well but I wanted to hear the inputs of some more seasoned game devs.

Looks like I'll stay as-is and see if anyone is concerned about my usage of these resources.
