I know you used to be able to call most manufacturers and they could confirm if the serial number was good. Of course, that's no guarantee that the club isn't a fake, but it's a good start. Looking at pics like the 2nd poster said is another good option. If you have a golf store nearby, try to go hit it next to one you know is legit.

I bought a TM Burner on ebay that I found out was a fake after taking it to the range. I just knew it didn't feel right. I then called TM and they confirmed the serial number was no good. Luckily, I got my money back, but not everyone is that lucky. I don't think TM even confirms over the phone if your serial number is any good anymore. I think they're trying to cut down on folks buying stuff from unreliable sources.

Although obviously this is no guarantee it's real. Anyone can buy one Ping club and make more with that serial number. And most folks don't register their clubs, so it'd be unlikely for Ping to have multiples registered under the same serial number. Even if Ping did have multiples, there would still be little way to figure out which one was real. The only way to guarantee you're getting a real one nowadays is to buy it new from an authorized retailer.

he sent me a picture and i told him to check the serial number. the club looks a little too orange for me. i guess ill let you all be the judge. i told him to goto my house and compare it with mine because i havnt seen mine yet either but i bought it off an approved dealer. he lives kinda far though. here is the picture. i guess everyone else can be the judge.

I bought a Taylormade Tour Burner on Ebay and I just took it in to a golf shop that is an authorized Taylormade dealer. They called in for me to check if it's was real. I would think you could do the same and take it in to any shop that sells Ping equipment.

I concur with that...As long as the serial number registers with Ping website, you should be good...

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
