JakeBarnes Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 So I was looking around the interwebs using Google to image search some Tourstage items and I stumbled on this picture claiming to be fo the 2012 Tourstage X-wedges. If I recall correctly, last year the 52* only came in 8* bounce, but according to this picture on the sole markings, there is a 10* bounce option. Can anyone confirm/deny the existence of a 10* bounce 2012 x-wedge? This is the type of thing that happens when you spend too much time trying to avoid doing work and on google.

samuee Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 The pictures looked authentic to me, down to the stickers on the wrappers. But when I did a search to look up the lofts/bounce I saw them on the bogus website. Unbelievable. Aren't these wedges made in Japan?

samuee Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Oh man, just noticed they have fake 705 Type M heads on there, too. Lol, I like how they photoshop'd the "TOURSTAGE" off the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Just about everything can be faked now days and extremely well. Often the shape is a dead give away, Fake Ryoma's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerobound Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 It complete madness in the golf industry. Many people play fakes and don't even know it. They just think they got a "great deal" on authentic equipment. Lol. Got to check for little details, which is really hard to catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaman Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I was in Beijng the other day and just outside Yashow Market there was a little "hole in the wall" golf shop, and the girl there insisted the "name" stuff was real..She had head only Epon, tourstage, Romaro a set of Yamaha tour model heads, etc etc..The scary thing is that she didn't sell ultra cheap, around 3-400 dollars per set, and the finish was just excellent..I couldn't see they were fakes at all, I looked at them from evey angle. She also had shafts, and equipment for club making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be back in Beijing again soon, will try to snap a few photos. Can always pretend I'm buying for a friend and take photos to show him.
