I love to see a customer arrive with a head in one hand and shaft in the other, sheepish look, and a meek tone asking "can you fix this?" I carefully look at the parts and reply, "this appears to be a temper break in the shaft" adding that or course I can fix it, quote the price and explain that on my work the customer must sign "adoption" papers that forbid abuse!  Sometimes show a picture from a golf magazine of an X-ray of a putter head and shaft through a playing partner's neck. Throwing and bashing clubs is a dangerous game, even for a Kennedy relative who killed a neighbor with a 9 iron!  Gentlemen, choose your weapons. But don't give this game a bad name. Arnie
