I just picked up some 2009 TM Burner irons on craigslist. They were pretty cheap which made me paranoid about counterfeit clubs. They look real though and the seller paid $600 from an internet website (he couldn't remember which one). Most of the counterfeit sites sell clubs in the $200-300 range so I'm hoping what he got was legit. He never played the 3 and 4 iron so it still has the wrapping which says "shaft made in china" "head made in china" "assembled in the USA." So that made me think they are authentic Burners too.

Anyway the one item that's making me wonder is the cavity badge that has the Burner logo on it. I just saw that on the PW the badge is pulling away from the back of the club a slight bit. When i press it back onto the club it is plastic feeling and makes a sticker kind of noise like it's trying to stick via some adhesive but not going on completely. Can someone confirm that this cavity badge is supposed to be plastic-like OR has anyone had a similar issue?

Also, I read on an ebay disclaimer about what to look for in counterfeit TMs that the club head cover should have the "Taylormade" wording in raised fabric. My covers have flush Taylormade writing in grey and it is not raised. Not a big a deal but wondering about that too. Thanks!

The badge is definitely made of a solid material and not just a thin sticker. The backing of the badge has an adhesive that is sticky though.

When you buy counterfeit clubs from China they usually come with wierd headcovers that you don't normally get with the real thing..

Well I took my irons to Dick's to compare side by side. These are definitely imitation Burners, really good ones, but they're the Chinese ones it looks like. I have to say this though....I took them to the driving range and they hit like champs! I'm upgrading from 10 year old Nicklaus Air Bear irons so these are super sweet compared to them even if they're not the real thing. I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying that but a high handicapper like me really won't be affected by the slight difference between the fakes and the real ones. Once I'm hitting in the low 80's consistently then I'll upgrade to clubs that are the real deal. For now though these will really help my game.

P.S. Regarding the title of this thread... I did talk to a pro today and he said that he has seen other badges start to peel off of clubs. He said when it's very hot out and people leave clubs in the car for a long time it can soften the adhesive that holds it to the club. FWIW

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
