BigEasy Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 It's a fake. There is a real putter this one is based off. Why do you think it's fake? Every bit of it looks authentic to me. Can anyone chime in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 My first thought was that it's the real deal. I don't know for a fact if it is or isn't. I was checking out the sellers prior sales and he has sold plenty of Betty's that seem to be the real deal. xxio, I'm curious, why do you think this is a fake?? Again, I'm not disputing anything. If it's fake I would have been taken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xxio, are you talking about this? http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/t25081.h...p;mode=threaded Mine is quite different from this one but could it be another prototype for Ai-chan? I'm just hoping so. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 My mistake. It seems it is real. I thought it was fake because the paint job looked a little bad. All my JDM Betts (still have 5, had 8) had perfect paintfill. This looks sloppy and even looked like it was just painted on and not engraved. My apologies.

Your post gave me a chance to verify the authenticity of the putter. BTW, I just got this putter in my mail and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE every bit of it. Something that I've been searching for a long time.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Does yours have the face insert? Is it FIT or honeycomb pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEasy Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Does yours have the face insert? Is it FIT or honeycomb pattern? It's the honeycomb pattern without a face insert. What is it supposed to mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamnguy1 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Is it really JDM when it is "milled in the USA"? I know they make it for the Japanese market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Is it really JDM when it is "milled in the USA"?I know they make it for the Japanese market. Yes its still considered JDM, lots of JDM clubs aren't made in Japan, most TM Japan clubs are made outside of Japan but they are still JDM as they are made for the Japanese Domestic Market.

BigEasy Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I agree with Gocchin. A better definition of JDM, however, should be "a product that is made "exclusively" for "Asian" market. "Exclusively" because JDM products are not available in other regions. "Asian" because they're available anywhere in Japan. In this sense, they must be called AEM, "Asia Exclusive Models." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are right. I keep thinking it has to be made in Japan. But so many "Japanese" companies have their manufacturing process outside of Japan.
