I bought some wedges and some other clubs from a guy last night and he threw this driver in for pretty cheap. Their appears to be no serial number on the hosel...the only numbers there is the 7-2 as shown in one of the (poor quality) attached images. The other clubs I bought from him look legitimate he was an older gentlemen, a retired firemen; invited in to his home...etc. I don't think he meant to 'scam' me if this turns out to be a phony.

hate to say it..but it looks fake.

I haven't seen a superquad that didn't have "superquad" written in yellow between the r7 and Taylormade.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

No serial number and missing part of the logo. "Threw" in an expensive driver for a cheap price. I call fake.

Just pulled up some images, as Paradox says, the word Superquad is missing on the driver.

Hmm...this is weird. A guy at the pro shop today said he has seen them with and without the 'superquad' on the sole.

I stand corrected to my post, kind of. My superquad does not say superquad instead it says 425. And my serial number looks nothing like the original either..

another post said his didn't have superquad on the sole either. Like stated earlier the grip , shaft etc look ok, all good signs. And like you said, the guy you bought from doesn't seem like the type who would be knowingly trying to take advantage of people.

It is possible it was a manufacturing fault, and the club was sold at a lower price because of it. It looks JUST like mine, minus the branding and the serial number.

Taylormade can probably give an answer if you contact them. Looks strange to me. Selling a club with manufacturing faults without notifying the buyer also sounds weird.

Well, just got a response from TM...(see below) Apparently they don't get attachments in their email because I attached the same photos I posted in the forum to the email I sent them.

The problem is I've already called two local shops / TM retailer and both told me the same thing: "You could bring it in and we could look at it but we can't really be sure if it's a fake or not. Your best bet is to call or email TM and talk to customer service.".......what gives?

Hello Wayne,

Thanks for the email.

Unfortunately without being able to see the club in question I can not
give you concrete information.

There could be varying reasons as to why the club meets different
specifications.  It could be a tour head, it could be a head from a
different market such as Japan, or it could be counterfeit.

The best way to find out is to take it to a local retailer.

Thank you again and we wish you continued success with your golf game!

Best regards,

John

How does it play? It's a club from several years ago that at least LOOKS brand new-ish. Unless you're looking to cash in and sell it forward- AND it appears that he wasn't trying to scam you- If it performs the way you like, then play it and just tell people it's a one off prototype from TM. IF TM decides that it's fake, they might want to confiscate it. If a dealer says it's fake, they might take it and try and sell you a 'real' one.

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By snapfade ·

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

      This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
