P7TW

[fiberman]

Need some help determining if these are the real deal or knockoffs. Something does not seem quite right and just want some of the experts to confirm my suspicions in case I am missing something. Thanks in advance for the help!!

[Cruisin1966]

Are there serial numbers on the back of the hosels?

[jimbonecrusher]

Where did you purchase?

 

Hopefully it wasn't from Wish.

[TheMoneyShot]

Why do you think these are fake?

[fiberman]

Serial number on the 7 iron only.

[fiberman]

Not sure if they are fake or not. Just trying to be sure.

Haven’t bought them yet that’s why I’m trying to be sure!!

That's how both of my sets arrived

[GolfSwang]

Those appear to be fakes! 

You can tell by the Taylormade font and the logo on the hosel. The font is more rounded on the counterfeits (look at the M). A closeup of the hosel would confirm 100%, but I'm quite certain. 

There was another thread about this earlier actually, check this post:

That’s why I was suspicious, fonts did not look as crisp. I guess my suspicions are confirmed!

 

[BirdieBob]

What is the length of the ferrule?

 

There should be s/n on each clubs hosel!

Yep! The font is a dead giveaway. Look at the "r" in Taylormade as well, completely different shape vs the real deal. 

Also pretty sure P7TW come with corded Tour Velvet grips, which these do not appear to be.

Grips are Taylormade Tour Velvet and shafts are Nippon 950'S.

Ah, didn't see the shafts, assumed they were stock DG's. Discard my corded grip comment then! Photos of the hosel confirm they're counterfeits unfortunately either way.

The easiest way to tell if they're knock-offs or not is ... how much do/did they cost?

 

[FormerBigDaddy]

They look real to me. Comparison pics anyone?

Fortunately it seems I have not bought them yet but that is what the seller is asking!

Notice the font differences (a, r, M, d, e all very different, rounded), in addition to the logo. 

The pictures above match these fakes.

I agree with everyone else, the fonts are a dead giveaway. 

[FormerBigDaddy]

Pretty darn good fakes I gotta say.

Got mine direct from TM , and definitely a serial number on each.

Yeah same. Even if very iron has a different serial number each iron should have one

[FormerBigDaddy]

Mine also have a serial on each club. Another thing I noticed is some of that plastic wrapping looks sloppy. I just got mine and they are tightly wrapped and very clean. There are no loose areas or bubbles of any sort. The pic with the seam in the plastic right on the clubface is odd and not like mine.

Do you have the actual number? Just call taylormade with the serial number.

 

that being said, to me these look fake..
