    http://www.myprowholesale.com/article-48-FAQ+.html ... scroll to the end where the guy asks if the clubs are genuine .. while yer man's answer is ambiguous my take on it is they're knock off clones

    When the prices seem to ggod to be true it normally is. For you own sake id reccomend you stay well clear.
    It even says it under that question asked that these products were made in asia just like some of taylormade and ping products. Pretty much a dead giveaway that they were not made by the titliest, ping etc.

    Thanks for the input guys I was kinda thinking they were fake due to the prices!! But with the likes of bags being so cheap it is tempting...

    The crux of the problem here is and I'm assuming where they mention Asia, it's in fact China.... is that these clubs are made in the very same factory as the legit OEMS. Copyrighting issues in China are extremely lax, so these clubs can be assembled as knock-offs under the same roof just with a lot lower grade material components.

    A lot of people don't realise that most OEM components are manufactured in Asia, China for cast clubs and Japan & Thailand for forged irons and the gear is then shipped back to the US to be assembled.

    Its the taylormade burner 2.0 (4-PAS) that gives it away for me. Only the knock off sites use that terminology (PAS) pitch, approach, sand.

    Also the live chat is a big give away, all the fake sites have that pop up live chat, prob all linked to the same call centre

    Buy clubs here and they will be as false as a set of false teeth!!!!

    I'd suggest politely that you purchase something small, pay by western union and see what happens.

    The great thing about these sites that sell fake clubs is that they do not lie if you ask them a direct question......." Are these OEM clubs".

    As posted above the reply is......

    "'All clubs we sell are OEM quality" or "Our clubs are like OEM in performance....."

    To translate......FAKE.

    Hence avoid this site unless you like buying fake.
