Just a quick glance, the “s” looks wrong, as well as the spacing between it and the 5. I don’t see the overlap strip in the white, and it appears to be missing the holographic logos in the white. Also, the rings don’t appear to have as much “fade” to them.

Thanks but no one purchased it. It was reported as a counterfeit by a vigilant WRXer. The seller responded in this topic.

I just found that my 4 year old AD-DI (from ebay) is counterfeit as well. :( Should have popped the grip sooner as eBay will do nothing about it. SUPER glad I bought the 3 and 5 wood set.

It had the heat label seam and everything. Looked really good.

How were you able to determine that was fake? Bought one on eBay last year would love to be able to confirm real/fake.

Oddly, I think I was wrong and it's actually legit.

 

My belief that it was fake came from Pro's Choice taking a look at some pics and seeing that there were no identifying numbers, stickers, etc. under the grip.  There were, however, serials on the 3w shaft that I purchased it with.

 

Now they DID NOT - say "hey, that's fake" - but rather something along the lines of "if there's no identifying serial number anywhere, there's a good chance it's counterfeit"

 

Later on when I was trying to get some SUPER old tape of the other shaft in the set (which had printed serial numbers) - I started to clean with rubbing alcohol and noticed the serial start to come off.  I then realized that I had cleaned the other shaft with alcohol as well - and that I'd rubbed off the S/N before sending the pic.

 

Thus, they've played well, and I'm relatively sure, I was a dummy, and they're legit (they have the seam, one had S/N and seemed real, etc.)
