PING i15's. Authentic or counterfeit?

[mcotter]

Does anyone think these look counterfeit? I just ordered MP52's, but the ping i15's were a very, very close second. Thought about picking these up also because I was planning to add two ping hybrids anyway. Could try them and sell off wedges and one of the iron sets.

Just went and grabed my 3 iron and compered to to the pics.
They look real yes, im not saying they are though. Get the seller to provide you with a few of the serial numbers and ring up ping and ask them.

I have a friend wanting to sell his i15's. I know there the real deal. PM if interested. I think he said he wants 350$ for them.

I keep seeing a few sites where they are selling ping g15 irons for $349, Callaway x 22 for 329.. Golfdiscount.com or something. Are these fake? they say they are manufactured by OEM factory. I googled that and it seems there is an OEM chinese factory that makes all sorts of items. Anybody every buy any of this stuff?

Just because Ping says a particular serial number is kosher, it doesn't mean to say that the clubs are legit!

Granted, perhaps an original set of Ping i15s would be authentic, but what about if that set of clubs was copied 10 times with the same serial number - 11 sets of i15, but only one of them real, and seemingly not many folks can tell them apart

That Chinese OEM Factory supply for www.••••••••••••••••••.com is going to NOT be Genuine Callaways, Pings, Mizunos, or Titleists. They are doing a very good job over there making extremely similar items to the original in all industries. The scariest things coming over from the big red machine now are so called OEM auto parts. Many of our replacement parts for the auto industry and even some of our own new assembled cars now have parts from China - land of little restrictions in order to build & promote their economy. Even medicines. Yep, they don't care about the consumer who uses these items, they just keep making the sales and we sucker up. Ingest too much of their product and for certain life is short will be your epitaph. http://www.drsambenjamin.com/blog/lead-in-purses

I wouldn't buy any golf clubs from that site. Pay $100 more from a respectable online site such as TGW, Watts, or Rock Bottom and get closeouts or older models still around at the discounts. You'll get a more solidly built golf club than these imitations and they will last longer. The Chinese must be capitalizing websites such as this above based on the premise that many of the current major golf manufacturers now have made in China stamped on their clubs. (see Taylormade) I long for the days when import items were made in Japan!

At that price you can bet they are going to be fake. Come on guys......common since should tell you if it's to good to be true it probably is. Ping, TM and Callaway are heavily counter fitted. Buyer beware!

^^^^ I concur....

Cant be Golfdiscount.com at that price. I order from there all the time and they are all real. I just checked their site for the G15 irons and they are $699. Must be another site..
