Callaway Drivers And Most

We have seen many counterfeit drivers and most of the time the club sits open or closed when at address.

By the end of this article you will have a better understanding of how to identify counterfeit golf clubs.

We hope to contribute to the decline in counterfeit club sales by giving you all the information you need to identify counterfeit golf clubs.

Since you normally dont have a known authentic club to compare to, lets get started with some detailed analysis of the differences starting with the grip.

See our TaylorMade SpeedBlade post for an example or look at the image below.

The paint fill is not solid and the grip is smaller than the authentic one on the right.

Also, they could be in a different place between clubs for an iron set.

See our post on a counterfeit G15 Hybrid we received to see an example of a graphite shaft.

As a result counterfeiters have followed suit, but they are not putting it in the same location.

Most stickers on authentic clubs are placed on the underside of the shaft up by the grip or down next to the ferrule.

Counterfeit clubs usually have this sticker near the shaft band on the top of the shaft so it is easily visible.

You can check our counterfeit TaylorMade SpeedBlade post for a good example.

As you can see, the graphics are a good bit different on the top shaft which is the counterfeit.

Most of the time the font lettering will be thinner on the counterfeit.

As an example, Titleist and Mizuno normally use a longer ferrule, but almost all the ferrules on counterfeit irons are shorter.

Many of the counterfeit clubs I have seen will look totally different from address than an authentic club.

Since I have played Titleist Vokey Wedges for many years, I immediately knew a counterfeit Vokey wedge as soon as I set it down and looked at it from address.

On our counterfeit Vokey, the authentic club had a satin finish and the counterfeit was shinier.

Finish is different, colors are off, and font is slightly different.

The bottom of the club is more rounded and the bottom grooves starts slightly higher on the face.

The finish is different with the face looking much different than the rest of the club on the counterfeit.

Counterfeit will not have normal bag chatter because they are made out of cheaper metal.
