RIduffer Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Headcover is different. You are assuming yours is real… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfer75 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 that is the older ryoma headcover not the maxima one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfer75 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 the head itself looks real....my maxima type v also has a 7 digit serial number on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well, there is no free lunch, at least not brand new Ryoma heads. The price on that site is just too low and the head being shipped from China. I always doubt those stories that heads are stolen from official factory floor and sell at cheap price on the internet.

I mean it's the best fake club I've seen by far ... Without the wrong serial number, size is smaller than my 103 (which dunno if it should be), and head cover i can't tell the difference ...

RIduffer Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Is the sole silver or black? Did you order the Type D or Type V? D should be silver in which case an MD serial could be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twice Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Not to hijack the thread, but where can you try these clubs out, in america, before buying them? do you buy them on reputation? try them trade shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocchin Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Ryoma had reported this a while back, apparently some molds and designs were stolen and fakes produced. Though at the time those did not have serials. This is why if the price is too good to be true it usually is and clubs like Ryoma and Epon should be bought from authorized dealers. That serial is incorrect. It should not be MD as the head is black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 At least those are from the same mold. I had a chance to hit a few ball on the range with a set of fake Maruman Majesty irons. One of the guys that I play occasionally bought a set of knock off for under $400 in China which included driver, 3,5w and a full set of irons. For those familiar with Majesty line, it is as expensive if not more than Honma. The guy knows they were fakes but thats what he wanted. Cant see myself playing fakes.

AllenLew Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 glad I found this thread. Asked an ebay seller for serial number and its the same as the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 If the price is too good to be true it usually is. Also TSG is Ryoma's official international retailer. If its selling somewhere else like Ebay and if it did not come from us then there is a distinct possibility it is not legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
