Recently I purchased a Callaway FTiq 9 degree driver from eBay. I found out by talking to a callaway rep that it was actually fake as the serial number matched up with a totally different driver than the one I have. I confronted the ebay salesman and he told me that it was still the advertised club; it was just put together somewhere else or something to that effect. Do you guys buy this or do you think its a totally different club? It looks as legit as it comes to my eyes. I'll upload some pictures too. I'm not wondering if its a real official club (i know its not), I just want to know if i should spend my time hitting it or not.
I don't know. If you got a good deal on it and it seems to hit well, then I might just roll with it. But if you paid a decent price for it and its fake, that's your call.
I already got the refund. I still have the club. I'm just wondering if you guys think the parts are actually calloway parts giving it the same qualities as if i purchased it from the store.
When the first gen raptures came out i got a fake off ebay and it was an obvious fake, if you cant tell its a fake and it feels like callaway qualtiy then it may be real and just stolen or something like that since the numbers dont match up.
The use of Callaways hyperbolic face technology and a sleeker and refined head shape translate into increased distance whilst Fusion Technology coupled with a longer deeper body and external weighting combine to make the FT-iQ Callaways straightest driver. The Callaway FT-iQ utilises technology to make it long, straight and desirable.
I see you know how to copy and paste.
To the OP- how do you get a refund and keep the club? If you don't return it you're just as bad as the guy who sold the fake unless, of course, he never knew it was a fake. If that's the case then YOU are the one in wrong here.
Sounds like you got a driver built from parts made in the same foundry that builts Callaway clubs. They just made a bunch of extra heads and sold them to the black market guys on ebay to sell at a lower price. This happens all the time in China. This is where a lot of the cheap CLONE irons come from.
Why don't you SEND THE DRIVER AND ALL YOUR DATA on the purchase to CALLAWAY, and let them use it to nail the guys that made and sold the club? That would help all the OEM's in their efforts to fight counterfeit clubs.
