Is it just me or has anyone else out there questioned how ironic it is that Ebay (auction site trying to crack down on fake counterfeit products) allows companies who manufacture copied products to advertise on their site???? Mind boggling if you ask me!
Anyhow, spent some time on the internet the other day and managed to pull the latest high end golf clubs by manufacturing companies that are currently being copied in Asia.
I'm sure the list is not limited to the ones listed, but it's a start! Clubs are available to anyone wanting to purchase them for re-sale. Costs are the following: Drivers are all $130 or less, Fairway Woods are $65 or less, Iron Sets are $300 or less, Wedges are $30 or less, Putters are $60 or less.
One last thing, everyone is so caught up on fake drivers and irons, that many have over looked the increase number of fake wedges and putters hitting the market. A full set of fake wedges are costing the sellers a mere $90 and on average are re-sold (flipped on Ebay) for $250-$350.. Bottom line, buyers need to be a little smarter. Hope this helps educating some of you. Cheers!
