I guess it all depends on what level of golf you play.

If you just play for fun with mates and it doesn't appear to have impacted the performance i'd just live with it until you decided to upgrade/change. If however you play tournament golf - either at your home club or open events etc you'd need to check the rules to see if it's even legal to use!

I know there's certain rules about 'modified' clubs in tournament play and that you cant use them

Feel for you Bro.  I did the same thing with my 913D2 about 2 years ago.  While taking a practice swing I hit a rebar sticking out of the ground that I didn't see.  It dented the crown a little.

It hurt a few months, but after playing and time the hurt went away.  I don't think it will hurt you as it is unless you're stare at it at address.  Maybe the dent is why aerodynamically it effects my swing and I get a push fade/slice.  Just kidding of course.

I'm just using the dent as a motivator for me to get much better, then I'll replace it and keep it as a back-up.  I think the replacement is a called a "rehead" and I think its a whole new head because its built as one piece.  It might cost you some.

Anyways, I think the hurt will go away after you use it awhile, and you're still bombing it out there.in the middle of the fairway.  You'll still have some good drives.

Good Luck.

Well I must be the same way cause it's driving me crazy and I called our local rep to have him get me a new head! I do play tournaments and I'm using the " dented club rule" to calm down the wife!! Haha. Hopefully she never reads these

$20 and your secrets safe with me. 

Wow, that's a fair old chunk you've made there.  I wouldn't be able to cope with that, and I be looking at the first opportunity to change.  I did it about 3 years ago with a cally Razr, by knocking my bag over in my garage.  Had to get rid!

I would replace it.   Even though it may not affect the performance of the club, it would bother me and be a constant reminder of how it happened.   So for me, I would have to replace it.  

This may sound like a stretch, but I wonder if you could do paintless dent repair on it like they do for hail on a car.  Maybe you could take it to a body shop and see if they could pull the dent out.  I think they even have some PDR that uses a hot glue like substance to pull the dents out.  May be a cheap cost to repair.

If their is no impact on performance then i would not worry about it, but i understand your dilemma (cosmetics).

That is a freaky accident.  Learn your lesson.   I can see how it would not change your ball flight or how you hit the ball.  But I understand how it drives (sorry) you crazy every time you tee it up.

Wow... This is the third D2 that I've heard had a crown accident!!  

Sorry to hear, but that's all up to you if you want to replace it.  

Replace it. For as long as you own that club, that small, insignificant 'ding' is going to be looking up at you.

Be different and put a band-aid over the dent. Good conversation starter.

Brian, that would be one of my fears, that and dropping a club on a path..

Ah...replace, I couldn't live with the cosmetics.

Thought I would so you guys the damage!! . 

WOW that's a dent...  Yeah I would've replaced it as well..

Dent rule? haha nice..  well played...  But who knows, i'm sure the USGA will think of this and say it's an advantage to the player or something... 

I feel your pain.  I dented my 913 D3 when it was still new. I have no idea how or when.  I loved that club , but every time I used it I saw that dent.  I didn't affect the performance but it was painful to look at.   I wish I could say replace it, but I didn't...   I probably would have still purchased the 915 based on the performance but part of me was just wanting to look down at my driver without seeing the blemish.   

I did the same damn thing!! I was just swinging a iron in my live my room and hit the driver that was sitting in my bag with cover on also. Mine got dented kinda on the front where is says titleist. Not the bottom. I can kinda see it at address. I just got the damn thing and paid full price! There's no way I'm buying a new one again! I wish so bad i didn't do that. First driver I spent that much on and I mess it up. Lol I feel your pain bro! 

If the club performance is not affected, it just depends whether you want to pay for the new one. 

Also, you could get a Club Crown cover just to put over the top of the club head and style it up.

Had a similar discussion with my fitter recently. Also he sais if there is only a hick in it which doesn't efect your drive, there's no problem.

Sure it hurts looking down on it. Maybe you find a good offer round X-mast to replace it. Otherwise just keep it

I do feel a little better knowing I'm not the only guy to do this. It kills me to look at but man the price of these bad boys makes it hard to suck up and get another. I played yesterday and drove it just fine. My buddy is trying to get me a head and we'll see what comes of it.  Not sure the wife is buying the tournament issue but it was worth a shot!! Hahaha

Brian,

Like I said, the hurt will go away after a few good drives,  Use it as motivation to get the 917s.  Maybe you can place a Titleist sticker or some other logo to cover it.

Besides, you'll look at it only about 14 times per round.  The other clubs are more important.

Good luck.
