Was looking at purchasing a 460cc clubs and found this one for $20...I just read that these models do have fakes and if anyone with an expert eye could help me I would greatly appreciate it thanks

Let me think...waste my time going around town to buy a club that disintegrates after a few rips when I could have put a meal on the table for my family or had a few pints on monday night football with some friends...Sorry we cannot all burn currency like its the holocaust...fool

Actually I had enough of this forum...over-saturated with grumpy folks...no class. This will be my last post.

Can't really tell from the photos, it does look to be a several years old model and that is probably why it was only $20. If you hit it good and enjoy having it in your bag then you should keep it, thats my opinion anyway. Good luck.

Probably best. If you’re gonna have concern that spending $20 on golf may have robbed your family of food or beer with your friends ...golf ain’t for you.

It’s 10-11 years old. Came out in 2007 roughly but assuming original shaft is on it....Callaway or not...can’t expect it to be an amazing peice of equipment regardless of its authenticity.

Congrats! 270yds with a $20 driver is a damn good deal. Enjoy it. Cheers.

If it works , use it. Brand new drivers don’t have a yard more potential. 460 cc, 860 COR is as hot as it gets. No such thing as a fake driver. Brand names don’t hit the ball, that’s why they put them on the bottom.

concur with many above. $20 or $200 does not really make a difference if it achieves results. Drivers do not really lose their effectiveness after even scores of hits. A twenty year old club will hit a ball just as far today as it did when  brand new unless it had some serious damage or was deformed in some way.  Granted "some" of modern day technology has brought improvements or might be more forgiving, but one can get a top of the line club for less than half it's original price as soon  as 3 or 4 years later.  I am just as guilty as any having three drivers without any significant differences. ( of course it is all on me, not the equipment). Just for fun, took my Persimmon driver the other day and got some really nice drives after my normal driver got ornery on me.

    • Day 353: mirror work again today. Working on the same stuff - wrist twist and shaft lean. 
    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
    • Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:   
    • What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness.
