Callaway Replaced my XR driver with an Epic Max when the face cracked. This was outside warranty period as well. They’ll take care of OP. This was also right when the Epic lineup had released so a few years ago now.
Hybrid face split on me. Called callaway and while they won’t replace it, they will give you a deal on a club of your choice if/when you send back the broken one. For the hybrid, the retail is $279 and they would give me a new one for $179. So not ideal, but better than nothing. Good luck OP.
The Stealth 2s have just been having their faces pop off left and right this past year. Lots of posts about it so TM guys have been getting a lot of shit lol
TM has been blowing up since the OG Sim. I cracked 2 M3 three wood faces and I’m not even that fast. Had a buddy that hovers around 120 blow the crown off 2 Sim drivers. Their drivers are hot, but I feel like they push the envelope at the expense of reliability
Also rat glue can be reheated if there’s a head rattle that can’t be fixed through the hosel. Just let the rat glue come up to temp a little then knock the driver on a table into a couple of folded towels, until the debris settles in the rat glue. Obviously never try it with a driver that has carbon sole plates like the stealth 2 or sim 2 as they also use epoxy to assemble the head and you run the risk of compromising the bond with heat.
It's a seven year old driver that looks like it took at least one off the crown in January. That sucks, but it happens. Callaway has amazing customer service, but the best they will do is offer you a discount on a new driver, with that one being way out of warranty. Callaway pre-owned would be the route that I would go. Good luck!
My buddy broke one of these his first time out with it. Granted, he completely smacked it into the ground on the steepest downswing I've ever seen lmao
Anyway, the shop he bought it from was good about it and replaced it for free despite the obvious evidence that he hit the ground.
I’m not surprised by this. As the OEM start mixing materials things are going to happen. How to attach carbon to metal is not easy, and they will get better, but issues will occur. It’s how they stand behind their product is how well they will do in the marketplace
Call Callaway. Hopefully they help you. I broke a brand new Yonex at the range after 100 balls or so, and sent it in on RMA. They denied it was a bad driver and made up a story that I broke the club somehow, not from hitting balls. But Yonex is very small in the golf world, and I'm sure they just don't care about consumer views.
Yep so if they don't replace it, sand back any rough edges so it fits flush, and a two part epoxy to resecure, use a vice if you can but don't over tighten or it'll crack
The epic Flash came out in 2019.
The GBB epic came out in 2017, that's what this is. 7 years old, not 5. Not that it's a huge difference, but 7 years is rather long in the tooth for a carbon crown driver if it experienced even regular use.
Usually the high end manufacturers want to treat you right. It’s worth an ask for sure.

Would you email or call? I have two busted rouge driver heads lol
Either/or. Check their website for repair links I would guess.
I cracked a face of an old titleist back when I had club head speed. They put a new head on it for me. Never felt the same again though. Sadly.

Looks like someone accidentally came inside of it
“accidentally”
Honest mistake. Could happen to anyone
Come again?
I’m going to need about 10…. make that, 15 minutes.
Guy brought his driver to the weekly gang bang
Like you’re not gonna jerk off into a broken driver?
speed jizz? they really are running out of ideas
It wasn’t an accident
"Allegedly"
Is that a penalty? How many strokes?
He did mention Epic Head
TaylorMade guys right now: ![gif](giphy|kd9BlRovbPOykLBMqX)
What I went away from TM lol

You gonna try to buff it out?
Maybe OP should put it in some rice?
Did you jizz inside it too?
Tried "gluing" it back together is my guess. Just cause the Mrs says its sticky, doesnt mean its a substitute for epoxy.
that's rat glue (hot melt), used by the factory to dial in head weights.

Those sky marks
Stop hitting drop kicks off mat covered cement.
Not sure about this one. It looks like the bead of adhesive along the entire back of the head didn’t make it into the seam.

This is why I don’t practice anymore. Well, one of the many reasons 🤣
Was it cold outside?
Put a light in it and use it as a wizard staff.
Why’d you cum in it?

All the TaylorMade Stealth haters please stand up

does this effect performance?
look at the damage on the crown you smacked it on something hard like concreate stop slandering the club for your anger issues
I swear people are just better off buying older drivers on Facebook lol. Better quality, Same yardage.
This driver is 5 years old…

You’re right! OP’s comment makes no sense lol
Look at the materials. New technology is good but it’s fragile.
That’s still newish. I’m talking those indestructible taylormade drivers from the early 2000s.
Technology has come much further since then. Way more forgiveness on off-center hits
Ultralight hack for added club head speed!
Look at all that high tech stuff they added in it that year.
Epic Fail.
Face seems fine.
I see this a lot with the carbon crown drivers
Is that aftermarket hotmelt?
Did you do the hotmelt?
