Did I buy a fake Odyssey 2-ball Blade White Steel Putter?

[brianlin]

I found this putter at a local Goodwill. I couldn't believe my luck. But upon comparing it to stock photos online, it seems I may have bought a counterfeit.

 

The areas that concern me are:

 

- No 3D barcode and serial number on the sole

- Insert on the face doesn't have a black border and isn't as wide

- "WHITE STEEL" badge font is not as bold

- grip doesn't look like any of the stock photos

- casting "step" in cavity of the putter

- black accent line too close to the edge

Everything looks good until you get to the face 🥴 She got a butta face.

I thought maybe someone "could have tried to" mill the face with the insert in , but that edition , the inset went out nearly to the edges.

I'd say 100% FAKE , but with it being so old and coming from a goodwill, maybe you only lost $5? Go roll it , never know!

Lots of that looks fake.  The grip, the shaft band, the sole font, and of course the face.  100% fake.

Don't understand the link to a walmart page?  That's a legit 2Ball putter, out of stock now, but was sold/fulfilled by Dallas Golf.

User is simply showing the group what a real model looks like.

Doubtful, odd reference to use either way

That was my intent. And how is using stock photos of the actual club from a reputable website bad to use as a reference?

"Thats a legit 2 ball putter" - think that was the point....
