The other day I purchased a Taylor Made R11 15.5 degree 3 wood on E-bay. The serial number is TF10572. When I received the head it looked good. I called Taylor Made customer service in CA to verify the serial number and they told me they had no records of that numer or the seller being an authorized seller.

I contacted the seller and they told me Taylor Made has no clue what the Tour clubs serial numbers are and they buy all their clubs directly from Taylormade.

Do I have a fake club or is Taylor Made not able to verify the authenticity of one of their heads?

I purchased the head from E-Bayer seller  "niblick-99"

He's scamming you. There is absolutely no reason why Taylormade doesn't have any record of that serial number.

File a claim with paypal immediately.

Why didn't you verify the serial number BEFORE making the purchase? Ebay is littered with fakes. I got scammed last year buying a Titleist 910D driver. Lucky I got my money back fairly quickly. I sent the club to Titleist, and they examined it, and ultimately destroyed it.

My fault for not checking first :-( He offered my money back. The seller already sold to 10,000 E-Bay buyers thinking he was legit the same as I did.

    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
