So I don't really understand the point of this post. If you have contacted the store then you know they will process a warranty claim for it, even if it somehow chipped from hitting the bottom of other fairway woods in your bag. You don't need us to see it or give any feedback as you seem to have already made your conclusions about it. Good luck with the replacement club and make sure you keep the head cover on while not being hit. Many of us have not experienced this with our drivers.

Those definitely look like marks from the other clubs banging into it. My dad ran a body shop for 40 years and they look just like rock chips on the front of a car we had to fix a million times. I'd be surprised if Titleist would warranty that.
