I recently ordered supposed Taylormade R11 Fairway Woods from OURDISCOUNTGOLF.COM. Since the clubs looked slightly off I compared them to real clubs at our local store. 1) The club head sizes were too large; 2) the head covers were made of plastic not leather; 3) the shaft lengths were too long for a 3 & 5 wood; 4) the shaft graphics were slightly off; 5) the grips were colored when they should have been simple black; 6) the club weights were too heavy; 7) the shafts should have been Fujikura Blur 70 not 60 (the driver's shaft); and 8)they used a cheap ill-fitting gasket under the face plate which sets the face angle. Even the torque wrench was a phony--since it didn't have a torque setting. I also checked the serial numbers with Taylormade---they are counterfeit.
I have now turned the matter over to US Customs for their investigation.
UPDATE: VISA has cancelled the charge because I sent them the email trail and photos showing the counterfeits compared to the real clubs . I also filed a claim with US Customs. It's very important to notify Customs if this happens to you. Since the clubs are clearly counterfeit, Customs can seize them.
