Real or fake Circle t

[haughdaddy35]

Long story short, a friend of mine (who is a tour pro and web.com winner) supposedly beat out another local pro (wouldn't tell me who) for a substantial amount of money and couldn't pay up. So to square things up he gave him a brand new set (still in box) 716 TMB and this Tour rat. After looking at the putter something seems a little off. Now I have no dog in this fight as I'm a lefty but I wanted to check the validity of it, so my buddy doesn't get a reputation of selling a fake. I searched up and down this site and found some helpful information but I know many of you guys on here are much more knowledgeable about these things. Thanks in advance

I'm not too familiar with the Tour Rat putters but I'd get your buddy to text his Titleist Tour Rep some pics. The Tour Rep will be able to tell you quicker than anybody and he will be more reliable than anyone on here. Being that your buddy is a Web.com winner, he probably has all the company tour reps' numbers saved in his favorites. Best of luck. Hope it turns out in his favor.

Lol bad fake.

 

Cute story to go with it though :cheesy:

Like I said, I told him something was off. But I wanted to verify it. Luckily no money was lost. Just wanted to have it verified. And you guys didnt dissappoint. And Im glad you liked the story. I spent all day making it up so you could use an emoji. Thanks for noticing.

the face milling is a dead give away - to the trained eye of course. The dog ears are off as well.

note to self - never trust a "tour pro".

Your "friend" should also check the T-MB set he got too. ?

Thank you for giving reasons. Thats kind of what I was looking for. I know all about "tour pros" in this area. They are a dime a dozen. I also work in the golf industry (just for a different manufacturer). So I just wanted to get details as to what to look for in these situations. I'm not selling this putter nor do I have any intentions of possesing this putter. And if I can help someone else from becoming a victim of fraud and learn a little knowledge myself, then thats what I came here to do.

Ill get him to do that. I'll see if he can send me pics of them and if he does I ll post them as well.

This is a bad fake. So many fake rats out there is what led me to sell my legit one awhile back. I'd say check out the irons for authenticity also.

[gmangolf]

Definitely a bad fake. I'm definitely no expert, but the milling, font and even the shape of the bumpers look wrong to me.

[golferanixter]

I'm not a huge cameron expert but the lettering on the front of the putter is deff off

[brkuck]

Fake. Lettering is wrong. Paint on the bombs is way off and is missing. All you have to do is search dhgate.com and they have them for about $120-$150 all day long.
