What can you be doing in your golf swing that is causing you to break the club head meaning the club head flies with the ball and you keep the shaft in your hand?

Wow, that sounds like serious damage. Are you repeatedly hitting seriously fat on the driving range mats? Or trying to take divots out of heavy tree roots? That's the only way I can think of that swinging would cause structural damage to a golf club. I would think that that kind of hitting would cause serious structural damage to your hands and wrists before causing failure of a club.

There might be something wrong with your clubs. How are they breaking? Is the shaft breaking off, is the epoxy bond failing, or are the hosels breaking?

The last two are certainly due to manufacturing defects. There might be another explanation for shaft breakage. I left my pitching wedge out all summer to practice with it. Rain came in through the vent hole, leading to internal rusting and eventual shaft failure. Maybe if you left your clubs in a hot car trunk you could be softening the bond between the shaft and hosel.
