November 12, 201113 yr Author the ebay shaft has different graphics....is it a ali islei prototype perhaps ???? im not sure. as long as someone can verify, i dont care if its not a stinger il still buy it if its authentic
November 12, 201113 yr Hi Spoon, I would expect Stew being able to verify the authenticity of the shaft. It should have a little hidden wasp between the little flowers. Mine does look different from the one on Ebay. It looks exactly like the pictures from TSG. Edited November 12, 201113 yr by zwan
November 12, 201113 yr In pic nr 5 its says Prototype Stinger, weird if the seller says different! http://www.ebay.com/itm/290630900045?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp4712.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D290630900045%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1#ht_500wt_1413 ok so i bid for this and won, later the guy tells me there is no stinger word anywhere in the shaft. i am not aware of a diamana proto that is not a stinger. also the proto logo is not etched black like the original one. deal or no deal?

November 12, 201113 yr Hi C, sorry I did not get back to you sooner by email. Many shaft companies make many prototypes so it may be a prototype but not the one released as the Limited Prototype Stinger in Japan. Diamana has had many prototypes. I know the Stinger Proto said Stinger on those ones because I took the pictures myself above. I cannot confirm the authenticity of the shaft in ebay, but counterfeit Diamana's have been known to be circulating from China though I have not heard of the fakes being prototypes.
November 12, 201113 yr Also I just looked at the auction more carefully. It does indeed look like the ali'islei graphics. It could be the ali'islei proto as robbie said. The seller of that auction never said in the auction its a Stinger. T

T i know that was my mistake, i assumed it was a stinger. anyway he is emailing me more pics and has a hologram sticker and serial number. shaft was supposedly straight from a tour players driver anyway im just waiting for pics.

November 12, 201113 yr I think this is a "blackboard" proto that came out in the US. I think I saw some info about this on golfwrx

November 13, 201113 yr Author I saw the blackboard photos they look different. The prototype badge is etched and their is a serial number.
November 14, 201113 yr dont think anybody can tell you with certainty if its real or not, there been some pretty good fakes out there like these Kai’ Li http://golf wrx/forums/topic/325052-counterfeit-diamana-kai-lis/page__p__2124775#entry2124775 http://golf wrx/forums/topic/325052-counterfeit-diamana-kai-lis/page__p__2124070#entry2124070 [edit: no idea why this forum gabbles links] Edited November 14, 201113 yr by ant
November 15, 201113 yr If that is fake, they are getting better and better because there is a lot of attention to detail. Again IF it is fake.
November 17, 201113 yr Author just an update, guy was supposed to email me holograms and serial numbers, but he hasnt gotten back to me. he was very religious in sending me emails prior to buying the shaft. il take it as a sign that this is not the genuine article. oh well case closed. now if someone only stopped buying all the stingers:)
