is this fake? help!

[golfstick]

just bought some xft wedges online, they look perfectly fine but you know paranoia has just set in. Although the pictures arnt great, give me your opinions:

The serial numbers are there but that means nothing if u cnt check i suppose

 

[Smithster666]

The 52* picture looks a bit dodgy but like you say pictures arent great, Am sure someone on here will no a little about it.

By the way where did you get it from?

Looks ok to me,not a lover of the removable face idea though, yea its cheaper to replace for a fresh one, but then you might have to do the grip as well, and the rest of the club will look used bar the insert.

You sure my 4 year old daughter didn't paint the numbers on the bottom??

If they aren't fake that's bloody awful!!!!

to tell a fake these days is hard. alot of time and work goes into making them look 100%. the majority of us can't tell by looking at photo's of a club. take it to a pro and he'll tell you straight away.

it's alot easyer to tell a fake when you compare it next to a genuine one. the counterfiters usualy make small mistakes like slightly different font's and mill markings

it was this that made me think! but tbh the rest of the club is spotless. They are factory produced so i guess not everyone is going to be perfect is suppose

 

[brendy]

Actually looking at it again, the word milled seems to be black on other examples, they may be different area/region models though.

Blimey, what an ugly looking wedge! (That's not to say it's fake though, TM just make ugly wedges!)

 

[griffgolf]

Which site online did you buy them from?

 

[Owen_Thomas_14]

Personally i would say this was a fake just because of the numbers on the sole .... HIDEOUS looking club

 

[feary]

Those numbers numbers on the sole really put doubts in my mind

 

[richart]

The 5 and 2 don't look right compared to other clubs on ebay.

 

[Pro_V_wan_kenobi]

Try registering them on line. That should tell you whether they are the real thing or not.

 

[G1BB0]

from experience if something was a right bargain it was usually fake or nicked!

if from a reputable shop/etailer then should be ok but as posted above, try registering, if it was fake why would the sticker say register your club, they know you would and it would come straight back to them!!!

i have just done this but it doesnt really tell me anything

 

[griffgolf]

Why are you so reluctant to say where you got them from as you have been asked this question twice on this thread?

 

[viscount17]

the image of the sole has a lot of distortion which may account for the awful looking 52, the image below shows it to be much better.
have a look at the xft's on golfbidder - a lot of variation, and maybe some poor quality control! some have the lettering filled in black, several others look like yours with the black fading or missing

pretty much becuase im not going to bad mouth places until i know for sure. Where i go it shudnt matter unless i got it from www.fakeclubs.com

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I don't see how naming them is bad mouthing and it would stop other forum members from potentially getting ripped off
