So I bought a set for myself marked down, plus a coupon...made it an easy choice ...so I thought. Upon opening and inspection. It seems the chinese regime does not share my passion for equipment being set up correctly.Every club, 5-AW 7 clubs in all....cost 250.00$.  Every grip has excess tape on the shaft, and every grip was installed mis aligned with the club head face....Right now I am in the process of spinning the heads off and aligning the club face with the grips ....A task one shouldn't be doing on clubs originally priced at 499.99

The lofts of the 845’s. The new clubs are not engraved with the degrees like before. Another mark against a once good club for the price. 3FB72008-84D3-48C3-92EC-55BBD0155D21.thumb.jpeg.7f7117883e324873221db7c1cc636cfb.jpeg

That loft on that 5 is is stronger than my 4 iron!  Hopefully you can get out despite the time of year.

not likely ...most courses up here are closed for the season.......err closed for the weather.....

   but yes one of the good things with these clubs are the different degrees to help higher handicappers.......the theory being a longer shot with a club would help with lower scores.

I sent this review to golf galaxy one other vendor for these clubs.......which was rejected and not published, because it did not ''fulfill their review policies''........wow.

[quote]I bought a set listed at 499.99, 60% off at 240.00$ So I figure a bargain right?! Wrong these are cheaply made clubs from china, messy glue where the grip and shaft meet, grips not aligned with the club face these clubs are literally massed produced and slapped together with zero appreciation for how a club should be put together, not too mention the price they sell them for as to what they shell out for this garbage....[/quote]

Sometimes it's just better to pay full price, and get the real deal (60% off can be a red flag). Look closely at the vendor.  Who did you buy yours from?

Only 2 vendors bought the β€œrights” for tommy armour dicks sporting goods and golf galaxy.The wiki makes it look like an American company. But I doubt there is any production done here in the states. 

Dicks sporting goods to answer the question.

Dick’s Sporting Goods owns Golf Galaxy, so only one company is licensed to produce and sell these clubs.

Hopefully Dick's or GG will let you return the clubs for a full refund.

Naw I’m spinning the heads and re epoxying them inline with the grips. Only thing in my way would be the shaft spline but I’m not sweating it. 

I have 2 left to finish the work.

Why not just return them? You're not going not be happy playing and thinking about 'em, right?

That's not going to make them any less counterfeit.

Not saying they are counterfeit. But they’re better now. There’s a lot of china product in our bags. But at least now these are the way they should be. Not haphazardly glued together.

Yes, a lot of our clubs are made in China but assembled in the U.S.   Not sure if that's a good thing or not.  At least the assembler has the option of saying, "These are not up to spec."

    • What technology? There’s not much. Or a spreadsheet. 🀣😜
    • I was thinking about what you suggested on this. And it's very possible its true.  I was also thinking, why wouldn't they have a piece of software that tells them something like: "If you drill the shaft hole at x angle and the shaft is y long, but the weights in A, B and C locations at D, E and F amounts? I mean we aren't modelling anything here that isn't a known relationship?  I've been in the manufacturing world a long time (33 years.) I've worked for and seen tons of manufacturers in the US who can handle one-piece flow with no hiccups what so ever.  I would love to take a plant tour and offer my services to these guys. On a whim, I looked on their webpage and they do have two positions available. A fulfillment associate and a fitting representative. Both at positions are at their plant in OR. Neither of these was a lean manufacturing engineer so I moved on.  I apologize for beating this dead horse.  I'm not sure why the cost adder for custom built from standard parts bothers me so much. It could be because I've worked so many places that just have you build up a nomenclature which relates to a build sheet and end of line test. Which equals no cost adder for standard parts. Maybe it's because I once toured the Roles Royce plant in England and thought "I'd never feakin buy one of these cars." Maybe I've been spoiled by PXG and Mizuno, the last two places I've order custom fit irons from. They customized each club including lie angle tweaks, loft tweaks, length tweaks, weight port tweaks, etc... No cost adder.
