Titliest 718 AP2 Serial Number verification

[GreCra83]

Hi guys,

 

I purchased a set of Titleist 718 AP2s from Global Golf in the spring and sold them to someone on another forum.   He recently called Titliest US and Canada and they can't verify the serial number.  I couldn't notice anything to think they were counterfeit as they were new in plastic, left handed and performance seemed fine.  

 

Is this something that is common?  The serial number on the 6 iron is 1237277

 

Any help would be appreciated

Lefty here. I had two sets of 718 AP1s, both from legit sources (one top 100 fitter and other straight from Titleist). This was 1.5 years ago, done a lot of ho'ing since then, so this is from memory.

 

That's how they both came wrapped. Their serial numbers appeared different from each other (one looked like yours). They also had different appearance to AMT shaft bands. 

 

They are left handed, thus exponentially decreasing chance of counterfeit. The APs counterfeits are pretty easy to spot, different text to the "Forged" print and "AP" print. They look sloppy with the letters running together. Your pic here isn't a great angle but looks ok to me.

 

I would check swing weights, if those are fine, surely are legit. I can't explain the lack of serial number verification.

Thanks.  I ended up calling myself and this time I told him where they were from.  Said sometimes sets to large resellers never get invoiced and you need to know where to locate the serial number.

 

Thanks again
