With a lot of counterfeit goods (eg Gucci handbags or Rolex watches for £10) it’s pretty obvious to the buyers from the low price that they are buying a fake. With golf clubs this is rarely the case. To avoid suspicion, sellers of counterfeit golf clubs tend to charge the same prices you would expect to pay for the genuine article. It’s a problem not only for the hapless buyers – but for the whole golf industry.
This was evidenced recently when one of the biggest counterfeit golf club scams in history came to light – for more on this story click HERE.
The counterfeiters are getting better – and it’s getting harder for a layman to spot the difference; It could be the colour of a decal, the step pattern of an inferior steel shaft; the fact that a magnet clings to a supposedly titanium head (magnets don’t cling to titanium) - numerous subtle differences. But hit a counterfeit club after a real one – and you’ll soon know the difference - the performance is invariably dreadful.
Golf Tradeins will not tolerate anybody sending us counterfeit clubs. The moment we receive anything of this kind both clubs and names will be handed over to the correct authorities.
