Frightening.
Just shows how careful you have to be.
Been stung a couple of times but not too badly.

Although they may be a bit more expensive, this shows how Golfbidder really sort out the good from the bad so you can be sure you've bought thr real thing.

There are some very good copies there.....You'd want to be on your toes to spot them......
My cousin got caught with two sets already....Callaway x22 and Ping G15......
He eventually went and got fitted for Titleist AP2's

It is indeed very scary and the scumbags that produce and sell these clubs need to be hit very hard. Unfortunately they are often produced in the far east and stopping them is not easy. The profits with some of the more popular clubs is sufficient for them to justify the risks.

I couldnt tell the bad from good on most of the pictures, very good fakes indeed. My mate bought a set of srixons irpns which turned out to be fake, £300 wasted but he still uses them as he cant trade them in. i'm wary of buying now from ebay as even used ones can be duds.

Yes, it is frightening. Someone with 100% feedback puts up a club with good pictures, golf equipment isn't their usual thing and you bid for it. I've bought a few things like this...not any more I think.

The copy clubs are simply incredible. I suspect someone from the factory is passing on kit made on a the same "line" and painting them up at home with fake shafts too.

Horrible, I actually hate these people, get a proper job and stop robbing innocent golfers, you would magine you have to be pretty clever to fake a golf club (to make a convincing fake anyway)why don't they do something real with that intelligence the scumbags.
