    Wondering if anyone else is experiencing what I am. I played a Titleist U505 4i for almost a year before the head came completely off the graphite shaft one day. I got it fixed but less than 2 rounds later it happened again and I lost the head. I picked up a T200 2i and have played it maybe 8 months (1-2 hits a round) and always off the tee. Last night while cleaning my clubs, I noticed the head has started to move just like my U505 so I am anticipating it coming off if I play it again. Is this happening to anyone else and has anyone been able to get it re-shafted and had success?

    You may have gotten a club with a bad epoxy job. Do you know if it was assembled by Titleist?
    Another thing is do you keep your clubs anywhere like in the trunk of your car or anywhere they are exposed to excessive heat? The heat can break down the epoxy.

    It was assembled by Titleist. I keep my clubs in my garage where temps in my area barely reach 100 but something to consider. Thanks.

    Do much hitting from mats? Especially if the mat is on concrete or hard clay?

    Agree with Barry. The only epoxy breakdown was with an iron stored in a trunk of a car on blacktop and outside temps over 100 for 3 days. I now keep the bag inside when not in use.

    I agree with the above comments, but wanted to add some additional thoughts.

    1. have all of these issues been with the same shaft? If so, that could be the issue
    2. do you have a tendency to hit really fat shots?

    They are both Hzrdous shafts but both independent of each other. Bought both brand new from the golf store with the shafts on. When I first was practicing with the club, it was hitting more thin shots. It's been such a consistent club where I'm striking middle of club face so just sad to see this one happening like the U505 and wondered if anyone else is seeing this. The last technician when I fixed my U505 said he sees it all the time with a driving iron on a graphite shaft but it was supposed to have been fixed with the T200 (having the shaft go deeper into the hozzle).
