I'm looking at buying a set of AP2's from ebay and the set I'm watching has a five digit serial number engraved into each iron. I know standard sets ordered from Titleist have a serial only on the six iron. When every iron has a serial, does this indicate it's a custom ordered set? I've read that this is the case, just trying to double check with all the counterfeits out there.

My understanding is that all custom ordered sets come with a serial number on all the clubs, not just the 6-iron. A custom order can be as small as a "non-standard" grip.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking.

Didn't know you were selling AP2's or I might have bought them.

I've currently got MP32's, so could have worked out a trade or something. lol. Oh well. Yeah, this seller has sold lots of Titleist equipment and has a good feedback rating after selling close to 4000 items, so I'm confident they are not counterfeit. The seller has also told me that he/she is an authorized Titleist dealer, but someone saying that over the net doesn't mean much.

its ok, I was only looking for a brand new set of mp-32's. The market on ebay for slightly used sets of ap2 710 irons was only like 500 bucks for 4-pw. You would be hard pressed to get more, only people getting bids were those with pricing 450 and under and they topped out at around 500, then you have the 9% ebay fee with is about 50 bucks at this price so you end up with only 450 if you are lucky.

I got a good deal on a trade at my local golf shop on some brand new mizuno mp-32 so it all worked out. Good luck man.

Sorry for the delay. Was waiting until I received the irons before giving their ebay name out.

http://myworld.ebay.com/tianna2009/ Here is another listing which is exactly like the listing I just purchased: http://cgi.ebay.com/Titleist-AP2-710...QQcmdZViewItem . I made an offer of $700 which was accepted. Offer them $650 or something and see if they bite. One thing I will say is that I contacted Titleist to confirm the validity of the serial number and they said that the serial belonged to a demo set. So I assume the irons I purchased are demos, but there are zero markings to indicate that they are demos. Grips are exactly what Titleist would ship with non-demo irons, heads and grips still wrapped in plastic and they shipped in original Achusnet/Titleist box.

Thanks. Now I just need to get money in the ball park of $700. Ill probably end up having to pay retail, since I have to have longer shafts and loft/lie adjusted.

Well, typically you're probably right, but it comes down to what the seller has in the item. Being that it looks like they're selling demo sets, which either were given to them or given to them extremely cheap, even at $700 they're making a big profit. I honestly never even thought about them being demos; if I had, I would have offered lower just to see if they accepted. I could always make a second, higher offer if the first was declined.

True.
I just bought a Titleist 909 F2 3-wood that is in mint condition, and just threw out an offer that I was for sure would be laughed at. But the guy took it. He runs a shop, and probably got the club for dirt cheap from Titleist.

Check around your area and see how much places charge to lengthening shafts and adjust loft/lie. Most don't charge much for these types of small alterations and the equipment needed to extend the shaft length is cheap too, so if you can get them $650 or $700, it won't cost you $300 to have them adjusted so you'd still come out ahead.

Very true. Even at $850 tops Im still saving over $200 off retail.

    • Lemme guess….’ We don’t want any confrontation so nobody says anything.’ Sheesh…..Call him out and fix the problem.
    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
    • This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
