Ordinarily, it is very difficult to break a club of any type. Since you qualified the question by stating " driving range " and " borrowed " clubs who can really say what the fault may have been. Often times a driver may have a fracture which is not visible. Go about the game properly and use the driver and every other club. If you break another, you may conclude that it could have been your fault.

Using a normal golf swing you should not be afraid of breaking a driver when hitting the ground. I have hit the ground prior to hitting the ball many times without damaging the club.

Some of the rental clubs are pretty cheap and could possibly break if improperly hitting the ground during a swing. No overhanded swing down to the ground is a golf swing.

Relax, it was a freaky thing, swing away.

It was probably old and not taken care… Dont worry it happens 1/10 000 times i recommend if your worried get a stiffer shaft.. it reduces the chance of braking the club

In my opinion, your "borrowed" club may have already had a problem. I have played golf for about 42 years and have never had this happen.

Ive only seen it happen once. My brother was using my driver that my grandpa made for me. he tried to do the HAPPY GILMORE and sent the head flying. I was soooo mad. It had a Big Bertha head but some crappy shaft. Also, my other brother hit the ball into a little pond like 6 times in a row and slammed the head of his club into the ground and yelled "This sand wedge fuckin sucks!!!!!!!!"

I would not take any caution. Still swing normal with a driver and everything. Rental clubs are normally old and have not been taken good care of and break easier.

During the high school golf season I have between 20-30 golfers hitting a "shag bag" with about 50 balls twice on most days of practice. This past year we had 2 clubs break. The year before we had 4. It’s not normal to break clubs, but it does happen. One of the biggest problems on driving ranges is hitting off the very hard fake grass mats. These mats will bend your shafts if you are hitting the ground while swinging. Without knowing the make and age of the club it’s hard to tell you if the club was bad.

Of the 6 clubs that were broken only 1 of them when the player hit behind the ball and he was using an iron. The rest were drivers and 3 woods. I was watching one of the players who took a normal swing and at impact the head just took off. Don’t worry about the heads coming off – shafts can be replaced if you save the head (and the head is worth fixing). Have fun.

When I got a new bag this year, my main criteria were:

* Price
* Weight
* Ease of use – I usually walk, so I needed a stand bag and wanted the double shoulder strap.
* Padding/Organizer – need my clubs protected, spaced out a little, and easy to get in and out quickly.
* Styling – least important, but everybody wants something that they think looks nice.

A manufacturer or designer should concentrate upon any or all of these areas, in my opinion.
