So I need to replace my 5 iron (long story) and I figured I would give a peek at ebay for a single club. I came across one and asked the seller for the serial number and he said he looked where it is located on the R9 irons (on the face, near the hosel, right of the TM logo) and all that is there is "11". Is this a sign of a fake club since no serial number is present?

There is some info here that may help you spot a fake...

My experience is exactly the opposite. Got scammed out of $1700 when I bought a Zeiss spotting scope. Thousands of positive previous customers, looked 100% legit. I had shopped there for years and knew what to look for. It was a completely fraudulent account. 100% BS. Ebay did nothing. They admitted there was a scam. Told me I was one of 55 people that were victim to it. They would not do anything. In the end my bank did the right thing. You can believe what you want, but much of the golf gear sold on Ebay is counterfeit. Read up on fake clubs sometime. Sure there are some legit sellers. But there are just as many scam artists selling crap from over seas. There was an article in a current golf magazine about this. Saw it just the other week. Many of the clubs you think are real are fake. Very hard to tell the difference.

Thanks for that info. I have checked those links out prior to this but I was looking for anyone familiar with TM R9s or TM in general.

After reading all the counterfeit storys I am started to think that there is a possibility that my R7 could be a fake. Are worried that your 9 is a pirated version?

Call TM and ask them what you should be looking for. Being that you already have the same clubs, this should not be too difficult.

cant say for sure, BUT.....

my R9 TP's have the serial number on the 7i and a seperate "31" the rest of the irons have a "31" on them as well too sounds legit to me tho

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
