Cracked Ping Driver. - update added 5/8/20

Goods should last a reasonable amount of time and that is why Ping will probably look after you.

This.

Warranties are largely not worth the paper they are written on.

Everything you buy has a reasonable life expectancy. You wouldn't accept a retailer telling you there was nothing they could do about your telly that had blown up shortly after it's 1 year warranty had expired would you?

No. Because you reasonably expect a telly to work for longer than a year.

Too often retailers use warranties as an excuse to not follow up the "complaints" of their customers. Sometimes it's because they are lazy and just want to hide behind the manufacturers warranty.

Ring Ping. Tell them the retailer has chosen not to assist you with your problem. Ping will either help you or side with the retailer.

I've heard of many examples of Ping helping customers with old products irrespective of the existence of any warranty.
