Looks like the prop bolts were tightened unevenly which could cause the prop hub to deform. I have had failures over the years with even the most expensive carbon fiber props so price is not a surefire test of quality. With wood props I always check the grain and make sure it looks OK. I have run into some funky wood props that looked like they were cut out cross grained at the hub, those are stir sticks.
