Had a shaft snap at the hosel on a driving iron about 6 years ago on a tee shot in the Saratoga area, a short par 4.

As teenager I missed a short putt in a high school tournament and after the round I threw the ball up and baseballed it. Normally that would be a whiff but somehow I smacked it flush. The clubface was so thin it partially caved in. But I still have that putter in my closet.

My Hogan Apex Grind 7 iron has a bent shaft, actually very well bent, about halfway up. I have no idea how I accomplished that, or when, but I'm confident it was an end over end sling. I had no idea until I was standing over a par 3 tee shot and my brother-in-law pointed it out.
