Hey Guys,

I was just wondering how to tell if clubs are fake or if they are actually the real deal?  I am going to go look at this and was just wondering how I would be able to tell.   To me this seems like a good deal.

What do you guys think??

Looks like a good deal to me.  The ad you linked to only contains stock pictures so it is really hard to tell from that.  See if there is any way that you can get the serial numbers from the clubs before you buy so that you can verify them with TaylorMade...  I don't see any reason that the seller wouldn't want to give you that information unless they were fakes.

I only ask because it seems like one of those "to good to be true" deals on craigslist.  I did not know if anyone had any experience in fake clubs in knowing how to tell the difference if I go and look at them.  I am still waiting for his reply on sending me actual photos of the clubs.

No easy way to tell, but the pricing isn't so low that I immediately thought they were fake.  I've seen the driver for $150, and the Rescue for $99.  I'd check it out, just looks like a good deal on last years gear.

    • During league night on Wednesday I had a bit of a lightbulb go off and I struck my approaches well all day. But the best one was a Gap Wedge from the fescue on hole 16.   Crossed myself up on a tee shot that requires a fade. Instead I hit a slight draw into the fescue. (The fescue doesn't show up on the shotscope picture, but trust me, it's there.) I was left 109 to the flag. I hit a gap wedge to about 12 feet. Yeah, I missed the birdie putt. But didn't embarrass myself. Took tap in par and happily moved on to hole 17.  In all the time I've been playing this course. I've never played a ball to the left of the little tree shown in the top right corner of the bottom picture. 
    • My game, for a lot of reasons is finally starting to improve.  I darn near completed the no sixes challenge this morning. I snuck out early today and played my home course. I was the first one off and finished in under 2 hours.  I hit 8 fairways and was just off on 4 others. Only 2 tee balls were what I'd consider wild. (I made a GIR from the next fairway over on one of them. 🤷‍♂️) I made 8 GIR's and had 8 NGIR's. I shot my lowest round since 2019 and didn't even putt particularly well. I had four or five really good birdie chances and didn't convert any. I also missed one well inside 3 feet on 13. That one hurt. Oops.  I played really well on Wednesday. Shooting a +1, 37 on the back nine. I birdied 2 of the last 4 holes. My approaches are where I'm seeing the biggest difference. I think the swing I've been working on for the past few months is starting to sink in. Here is Wednesday's strokes gained vs a 5 HCP. I'm excited to play tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if this is this the start of a parade or just a lone drummer passing by?
    • 6700 treelined course (72 rating). It was a good yardage for my distance, not his. It was an official mid am competition. He finished 2nd with 4 under after 36 holes.    
    • Played Sunday at my home course and shot an 83.....with four 3 putts.   So that is at least promising.   Played Men' Night last night (9 holes) and was Even after 7.....but then had a tough bogey and a terrible double to finish +3.   Either way.....I like the way things are trending.
