  1. how trustworthy is the person that told you they were fakes? could be they were trying to take you for a ride and get them on the cheap.
  2. As someone who has been a golf sales rep for domestic and foreign brands I can tell you that the clubs have to be knock-offs or counterfeit. The prices are even below the prices that one could get with an employee purchase when being a sales associate at a major golf retailer like golf galaxy or dicks. The prices are even below what the companies sell their closeouts for to a retailer like dicks or golf galaxy. Markups range anywhere from 30-50% on golf clubs, and then employees typically get another 10-20% off of those prices when they fill out the appropriate employee purchase paperwork and buy directly from the company. the companies have strict policies against the sales associates then taking the merchandise and selling it to a consumer, if caught that employee can no longer employee purchase and sometimes it is mandated that the retailer terminate the employment of that individual. Now, many golf companies have their clubs manufactured overseas. Most of the clubs are made there as is every components of the club (shaft, head, grip). Some companies advertise assembled in the usa, but only a small amount of their product offering is actually assembled in the USA. Most of the merchandise is entirely made and assembled in the area of which the clubs are manufactured. The companies are hired to make x amount of each model. As always, there are going to be some flaws, but the company will not buy the flawed merchandise and the manufacturer has no need for the flawed merchandise. Often the manufacturer will sell the flawed merchandise to a trade company or even consumer direct. So in the best case scenario, while still rare, anyone who bought these would be getting factory seconds.
  3. Its pretty obvious he is getting fake product from one of the chinese trade based websites and selling it as legit product through his sites. You think if the guy was going to put in all the work that he would have paid the small extra fee to godaddy to have the domain registration information kept private. The fact that he lists dhl and ems as the shipping methods is proof he would just have everything drop shipped from whatever chinese connection he has. i dont know many people using dhl as the primary shipping method, and especially not the chinese company ems.
  4. 2005 red dodge ram 1500 ext cab, 20" rims (dodge rims, not gangsta rims) 2005 red hyundai elantra gt hatchback or 1993 suzuki sidekick (my off road junk machine) I'm not into super flashy cars, I have gotten enough tickets in my past and I have a bit of an accidental lead foot.
  5. Hey guys, I will be honest, I am very familiar with the products of the big name golf companies in both the U.S. and overseas, however It is hard for me on my own to figure out what is best for me. I'm around a 15 handicap currently. I used to be much better until I reached a point in my life when I didnt play a single round for over 4+ years and then had an injury and had to have a shoulder reconstructed. I'm a smaller guy that doesnt have much power behind my swing and has an average swing speed in the 85-90mph range. I would like to speed up my swing, but I simply dont have the best range of motion or power to do so. I have figured out drivers and woods that work for me (burner superfast 2.0) but I cannot seem to figure out irons. The only thing I know for sure is that I do not want to be playing steel shafts and I like a real rubbery/sticky grip. Should I be looking at stiff or regular graphite shafts? Any in particular? I would like to add some distance to my shots. I drive in the 200yd range with an every so often bomb in the 220-235 range. Before I switched to the superfast I was around 180-190 with an occasional 200yd drive. I hit the RBZ and it didnt work for me at all, the r11s was good, but not as good as the superfast 2.0, my swing speed is also faster with the 2.0, and even though the clubs are long, I can still hit them consistently and feel comfortable. Any recommendations on irons and shafts? I have the chance to hit nearly anything, and I dont really care what the cost is. I want to improve my game now that I am able to play much more frequently. Thanks
  6. Hit a horrible 7 iron off the tee on 167 yard par 3. Stuck behind a huge tree blocking the pin and a fair amount of the green. Duffed that shot, but brought it to the side of the tree where at least I could see the pin. Chipped in from there to save par (25-30ft chip in)! Ended up being the best part of the round, the rest was pretty bad.
  7. I'm a web designer and computer repair specialist for my own company as well as a local golf equipment distributor for a few brands. Though I am still not a very good golfer.
