So I need to replace my 5 iron (long story) and I figured I would give a peek at ebay for a single club. I came across one and asked the seller for the serial number and he said he looked where it is located on the R9 irons (on the face, near the hosel, right of the TM logo) and all that is there is "11". Is this a sign of a fake club since no serial number is present?

There is some info here that may help you spot a fake...

My experience is exactly the opposite. Got scammed out of $1700 when I bought a Zeiss spotting scope. Thousands of positive previous customers, looked 100% legit. I had shopped there for years and knew what to look for. It was a completely fraudulent account. 100% BS. Ebay did nothing. They admitted there was a scam. Told me I was one of 55 people that were victim to it. They would not do anything. In the end my bank did the right thing. You can believe what you want, but much of the golf gear sold on Ebay is counterfeit. Read up on fake clubs sometime. Sure there are some legit sellers. But there are just as many scam artists selling crap from over seas. There was an article in a current golf magazine about this. Saw it just the other week. Many of the clubs you think are real are fake. Very hard to tell the difference.

Thanks for that info. I have checked those links out prior to this but I was looking for anyone familiar with TM R9s or TM in general.

After reading all the counterfeit storys I am started to think that there is a possibility that my R7 could be a fake. Are worried that your 9 is a pirated version?

cant say for sure, BUT.....

my R9 TP's have the serial number on the 7i and a seperate "31" the rest of the irons have a "31" on them as well too sounds legit to me tho
