[IMG][IMG] [/IMG][/IMG] Just ordered these then started reading about how there are fake ap 2 irons out there. My biggest concern is the numbers scratched off. Im 16 years old and have no knowledge of fakes so if anybody could help me out it would be greatly appreciated

Thats looks like normal wear for AP2 irons. Find the serial number, they are etched on the hosel of the 6 or 7 iron. Then call Titleist at (800)225-8500. And have them verify the serial number matches those irons.

What did you pay for them? Used right?

Also post a photo of the Titleist emblem on the cavity. If its fake, then you can usually tell right away the emblem doesn't look right.

I bought them for 450 and the serial number cant be made out. Neither can the titleist emblem. Neither are good signs. The irons have a good bit of wear on them which could bring down the price

Thats actually the going price for used AP2 irons.

Post the photo of the emblems, thats really the only way to be sure. Is it bag chatter that scratched off the serial numbers?

Is there a Titleist sticker on the shafts? Near the grip?

What is the sellers feedback? Is it a new member?

Its is a member since 2006 with all postive feedback but only 4 things said. Not much else. The serial number are there but just cant be seen. There is no good view of the emblem though

It sounds like you don't have them yet? Are you referring to the ebay photos they provided?

Surely the seller can give you the serial number off those irons, heck I have Titleist irons from 2005 and the numbers are easy to see. If he's a high rated ebay seller, he should have no problem giving you the numbers to verify them with Titleist. Unless the 6 or 7 irons were played in rocks, or something to wear the numbers down or something, they should be able to see them.

If he refuses, file a claim or ask for your money back.

Well just wait until you receive the clubs. Then post up some close up pics here, and we can tell you if they are fake or not.

If they are fake, don't worry you will be covered by filing a claim with ebay/paypal, and you will get refunded.

I bought some fake AP2s two years ago on ebay. I took them to Golfsmith and they inspected them, and they ended up shipping them to Titleist. Titleist verified they were fake, and they kept and destroyed them. I filed a claim with ebay and got my refund within about 10 days.

Hey Motley, how do you like those Callaway Apex irons? I play Ping G25's....but I'm always..well you know....Lol.

The Callaway Apex irons are absolutely outstanding. Best feeling (and forgiving) set of irons I ever had. I had the 712 AP2s, sold them and just got the Apex this year. They are long too, like 10 yards longer than AP2s. My miss is usually on the toe, and I still don't lose that much distance. Toe shots on the AP2s felt horrible.

Very happy with them, highly recommended. Hey if they are good enough for Phil, their good enough for me. If you didn't know, Phil has the Apex irons in his bag this year.

Take a couple of them down to your Golfsmith-type place or the best course near you. They (or the Pro) will be able to quickly determine if they're fakes.

There are thousands of counterfeits on eBay, especially wedges, and I've even come across a Seller who unbeknownst to him wound up with six dozen fake Pro V1s . Any novice golfer would likely not know the difference.

If any eBay golf club is "brand new" and the Seller has more than one for sale at substantially less than the going price, it's almost always fake. Esp if the Seller is overseas.

Before bidding, always ask the Seller if he can guarantee that the club is authentic. If he doesn't respond in a day or two, it's more often than not a bogus club.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
