I am an avid golfer for over 50 years. I've tried most all brands (favorites) of golf club iron sets. Every time I change brands, I change bags. i.e. Callaway clubs/Callaway bag, etc.
Recently I bought a bag that was pictured as a "staff" bag by Callaway. For those who don't know, a "staff" bag is usually a larger (9.5" to 11") bag with velour covered dividers and two or three full length dividers. It's hard to tell the size from pictures if the bag is made like a staff bag.
To make a long story short, I bought the bag using BIN price, thinking I had found a bargain, since it was about 1/2 the average retail price of a like bag. Well, SURPRISE!! I won't discuss the seller here because I think he/she was a victim just like me.........only he/she passed it on to me.
When I received the bag, it was just like the pics but was an 8" bag. In golf terms, that's a small carry bag, not a "staff" bag. I called Callaway Golf and asked them to pull up the listing, view the pics and give me their opinion of this bag. They were very accommodating. The individual at Callaway stated that this bag WAS NOT a liscensed bag by Callaway currently or never had been. He suggested it was an "Asian Clone" that was never or should not have been legally imported to the USA market. In other words,. IT WAS A FAKE. I suggest that golfers who have doubts, contact a brand name representative with questions before laying out your money for a fancy looking bag. I'm sure there a lot of FAKES out there.
