I stumbled over an ad on Craigslist for 714 AP2s. They are listed for $700.00 and being sold by a "wife" who bought them for her "husband". I started asking a few questions, "she" said she bought them from Golfsmith and didn't know much about them or where the serial number was. I asked for a build sheet, I got one from my pings, does titleist put that in the box? I also told her where the serial was located and suddenly she is not heard from.... Any input on this? I may report the person.

Tough to tell.  The word "FORGED" looks different than the stock drawing on the Titleist site.

After consulting the titleist website I did notice that the shafts were missing the security sticker. I should have posted the picture of the shafts and the grips. I don't know how these people couldn't get in trouble for this. Maybe the wife bought them and her husband told her that they are fake but I doubt it.

The metal is probably poorly cast as well. The font is often off among other things.

They are forged, not cast and if she bought them off the rack there is no "build sheet". The serial number isn't a tell either. Ask for a receipt or proof of purchase.

New Titleist clubs have stickers on the shafts and I believe hosel now. I know they have security stickers. I know they (real clubs) are forged but the fakes are cast.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By Ty_Webb ·

      How come the marked shots on the picture add up to 366 yards and the label says 325? Are you playing it at 325? In any case, that hole is narrow with a capital NARROW. If those woods are lost ball territory, then I think you hit from the tee whatever club is accurate enough that you'll be able to hit the fairway "most" of the time. That could even be a wedge potentially, especially depending on how restrictive the trees back near the tee are. I might seriously consider playing this hole as 8 iron 6 iron or so. There's more room up by the green than the fairway, so save the longer club for the second shot.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By mdl ·

      I took a big step back last season in terms of scoring. I felt I'd plateaued and committed to another round of lessons and working on meaningful swing changes. Went from a 7.9 to an 11. Back down in the 10s. Just starting to see some of the feel of improvement show up in scores. In fact a few rounds ago I had my best round, both score wise and ball striking and putting, in a while! Shot 79 with a mental breakdown finishing bogey-bogey-bogey on a tough three hole stretch where I go scared of the water blowing up my 70s round and yanked three drivers in a row after pumping it long down the middle all day and then hit two of three approaches scared-yanked away from  water as well. Feeling like I can put some 70s rounds together this season!

      Considering I only played a single round of 9 holes last year and only a handful of rounds of 9 holes in the 6 years before that. Now playing 18 hole on average ever 2 weeks this season. Definitely improved. Not by a drastic amount, but definitely improving. Hitting more pars and bogeys. Driving straighter etc. Practice helps! :D

      And yet, unlike a politician the only one we con are ourselves.😄  Having said that, the stories we tell ourselves are also the most potent, good or bad. So,  for me the answer is always a resounding "Yes!".
