For TV Interview - Have you ever purchased counterfeit clubs?

[GolfSpy_X]

I was contacted this morning by a major TV outlet looking to do a story about counterfeit clubs. They want to interview me and a couple golfers I know who have purchased counterfeit clubs before.

 

If you have had this happen to you before and are interested in being interviewed please message me at [email protected]. Please include the following:

Sorry it's never happend to me "Knock on wood". But I've seen plenty of stories about people who've been duped. It would be nice to see this come to mainstrean TV and maybe shed a little more light on something that seems to be exploding as an industry!

Actually 20/20 did a story on it years ago which was good...but nothing changed in regards to how much it goes on.

 

We will see where this one goes...gave her a handful of people to interview and she is trying to have someone fly here to interview me as well. Supposed to be for a major TV outlets...but never know. Let you know more when I find out.

They did a story on it in Japan in Golf Digest last year. I've never bought any because I'm careful and ask for tons of pics. The only thing I've ever bought that was fake was a Scotty Studio Select cover in which the seller sent me pics of a real one and shipped a fake one, when it was obvious I knew what to look for such as the AM&E tag. Reported it immediately and had my money back that day. He even told me to keep it. So I cut it apart and showed the differences in real and fake ones.

I never fell victim either. Sounds like a great project nonetheless.

I have used them twice, to my knowledge. The first time I purposely bought the counterfeit and had no beef with the seller because I knew it was counterfeit when I bought the set and paid a counterfeit price. The second time I was fooled by the seller and went back to the shop and promised mayhem to the owner and the shop if I didn't get my money back. I got my money back.

 

In both cases the clubs were very very difficult to use and under performed tremendously. However, as they looked like the real thing, I actually worked with them for some time before finally giving up on them.

 

Counterfeits are only interested in looking the part and any performance that comes out of them is accidental.
