good thing it was in your transition, ive seen 2 people get hurt when the shaft snapped at impact (both finished their swing automatically but quicker, and as such the remainder of the shaft hurt their necks :S)

normal or custom shaft?

That's just weird. You must have some pretty good torque going on there. This website is not bad as I was checking it out earlier via an email (http://www.globalgolf.com/gallery/golfclub.aspx?ptid=1) The better deals are for Taylormade drivers though.

Fujikura Rombax. I broke a shaft years ago hitting one hard on the heel, but it didn't come all the way apart like this one.

Yeah, it was bizarre.

I'm just sticking a new shaft in it. The head is fine. I was nervous as hell hitting my next tee shot (3-wood) though.

That's smart then. Especially if you liked the driver. I bet you were nervous. I've only seen two people snap drivers off at the head on the range from hitting the head into the ground on the downswing. I can't imagine having it snap off by the grip.

Huh, never thought we'd hear you say you were too tired to bother with ass to mouth before.

Wow that's ridiculous. I would never have thought that a club would snap at that point.

My family has no ******* respect for the deceased. Not even going to describe what I saw/heard at the funeral. My uncle was basically the only person in my family that was nice to me, definitely deserved better.

"airport security"/TSA at LAX airport gave me a migraine...
some huge airport and in my terminal they had ONE security screening area open with ONE lane/xray machine working... the workers were moving like turtles while everyone in line was getting stressed out. waiting in a line for 45 minutes and then they make me wait some more while they freak out and check my bag which had a container of granulated honey inside.

I have too strong a need for closure. One reason I'm finding it difficult to get over my last relationship is because she has never really given me any definitive answers. Not that it would change our standing, but I would at least know if there's anything valid I should address. If you're gonna go through a painful breakup, it helps a little to know if there's reasonably something you should do differently in future relationships.

Edit: Got my closure. Pretty much a carbon copy list of why my first relationship didn't pan out. Ouch.

I can't stand spammers who start threads where people post good responses and then I have to spaminate the whole thing and delete the responses. And, spammers in general. I'm sure whatever lives they lead are punishment enough. But I wish we could find their bosses and put them in some kind of hellish jail.
