ummm...information, such as, how much they are going for? and who is selling them? would be beneficial here if you want to get opinions.

With that said, Ebay is generally a good place to buy just about anything relatively safely. When I buy I look for at least 99% feedback rating, a seller who has sold a lot of stuff in the past, a seller who has sold clubs before, and does the seller have a return policy.

More than 10 available, with a putter as well? Not to mention the seller has zero feedback....

I guess the more appropriate question is how does this scam work? Do they send fakes or just nothing at all?

With no prior history on ebay I would be wary, but would just wait and see. If a couple other people buy from him and give him positive feedback, I would look into it. He claims to have a 14 day return timeframe, is located in the US, accepts paypal, and is still selling the set for over $1,000. Most scams try to sell a set like this for $5-600, do not take paypal, mis spell a lot of stuff, and are located in china.

You'd get clubs. In most cases they look amazingly real, but aren't. They can even work pretty good. If they didn't send anything at all, Ebay would cover you.

Edit: The question is, do you(or your friend) want Titleist clubs, or do you want people to think you have Titleist clubs?

Well, the guy has like 25 items for sale and NO feedback?? Also, see no mention of the SC putter other than the head cover in the pic. I'd send a inquiry in to ebay as a concern and see what they have to say! I would definitely NOT send a seller a $1000 who has NO feedback!!!!!!

I say this is an easy one. . . . SCAM!!! RUN!!!!

Dont count on ebay refunding your money. I got ripped off several years ago buying a part for a friend, though that was before everyone had paypal. It was just $10 but it really pissed me off. With zero feedback, id steer clear of this person, feedback is important on ebay because its really the only way you know a seller is reputable.

Several months ago we had a stickie that said something like "please don't ask about whether xx or yy is a scam - just use common sense." Please, let's not give reasons to re-instate that stickie notice.

This guy has 31 things for sale and NOT A SINGLE one has a bid, definitely a scam. If I was close to bidding on any item, I'd email ebay and let them check him out first!!

This is typically accomplished by purchases or by giving a good deal, complete with actual photos. Many of the eBay stores started as garage/clearance sales and later, once they gained the reputation, moved up to selling their standard wares too.

True, just a lil "out of the morn" for a guy to "start" with 31 items and yet nothing has a single bid!

      Fair enough, I'll try getting out of the right side of bed tomorrow! Agreed. One of the saddest things about LIV is robbing us of what could have been 15 years of Mickelson in the booth.

      Another good episode. It sounds pretty obvious that social media style golf tips/instruction is not a good way to learn golf. Too many opinions, nothing specific to the golfer, it's basically playing Russian Roulette.  I for one, like to watch online golf instruction. I have found a few I think are pretty good, but I find it interesting. It just takes some front-end mental processing to push it off to the side away from what I am doing.   I think the positives are to this is exposure. It keeps people interested in golf. It is free. It helps golf instructors who have to fix bad habits, 😉.  I rather see the game grow, and social media is not going anywhere anytime soon.  Honestly, some of the online stuff seems a bit better than some of the local instruction around my area. I have been a few stalls away from a golf instructor and you just have to shake your head at how bad it can get.

      Is My Putting Tempo Too Fast?

      By wetzel1592 ·

      I used a metronome to determine my ideal putting tempo. I’ve read most people fall between 66 and 80 bpm. That range felt extremely slow to me. The bpm that felt most natural was 100.  Is that too fast? I definitely side more on a shorter, quicker stroke but being that far outside the average feels a little concerning.
