This situation with TM and an eBay seller is REALLY starting to piss me off now. I bought an R7 425 off eBay for my brother only to find out through TM after I called them that the serial number wasn't in their system: a fake.

So GREAT I thought, just a pain in the ass. I contacted the seller, and the seller wanted the serial number so he could call TM himself. Fair enough, I thought.

Well after he called TM he emailed me back stating that TM told him the only way to verify the club is a counterfeit is by mailing it into TM for verification!

Argh!!! I then called TM myself and they said that just because the serial number isn't in their system doesn't necessarily mean it's a fake...

WHAT THE HELL IS THE SYSTEM FOR THEN!!!

wow. Anyways, I'm going to post the pics here for you guys to maybe help me out a bit as I've never seen an R7 425 before this club...




Sorry for the blurry 2 pics there, my good digital camera is getting fixed.

Thanks for your help guys!

Whats in my bag:
Driver: R7 Superquad 10.5 Stiff Stock
Wood: R7 3 wood Stiff Stock, r7 5 wood Stiff Stock
Irons: Command BK 3-PW Stiff TT Black Gold Shafts
Wedges: 52, 56, 60Putter: Dual Force Rossie II or White Hot XG #9 (Haven't had a chance to use both yet.)

It looks very real to me---the colors and the text are the same as any r7 425...there is no variance in color or text in those photos ..

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I bought a superquad and called them to verify and they told me the exact same thing, "it wasn't in the system, but it doesn't mean it's a fake?" Do they not keep track of all the serial numbers they put on their clubs or what? For what it's worth, I'm almost positive the superquad I had was legit, and if it wasn't, well then it performed as well as any superquad I hit. But the fact that they couldn't verify it astounds me.

o yea...for what it's worth your club looks legit from what I can see.

My brother has a r7 425, and this looks the same, I can't tell any differences. I will look at my brother's the next time we play with a little more scrutiny and if I see any descernable difference then I will post again.

I came across a few r7 460 counterfeit drivers last summer. One of the indicators it was indeed fake were the weights. If your driver has a 14 gram weight in it, compare it to the image below


The shaft is another dead giveaway if it has the RE*AX shaft in it as the counterfeiters came close to reproducing the same look but got the colors wrong. From the pictures yours looks legit.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By WillieT ·

      I've played the Tour in both white and yellow.  They play well and seem to hold up pretty good even when running into trees or cart paths.  Right now, I've been trying them against the Bridgestone Tour B RX ball and I really like both.  The Snell 3.0 looks to be a great update to the issues Snell was running into with the previous generation.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By snapfade ·

      Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀

      RIP Peter Oosterhuis

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts.
