Posted April 24, 201410 yr comment_224224 Can the experts chime in? one of my buddies with this driver is suspicious of the head(says the serial number is different and the headcover)... can anyone verify? pictures are next to my Epon 103 Edited April 24, 201410 yr by ukantwin
April 24, 201410 yr Author comment_224228 pretty sure its a fake... just found whole website of them http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=maxima+golf&catId=&initiative_id=SB_20140424125221
April 24, 201410 yr comment_224233 the head itself looks real....my maxima type v also has a 7 digit serial number on it.
April 24, 201410 yr comment_224234 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.

April 24, 201410 yr Author comment_224237 No I got it off eBay ... Also the serial number is suppose to star with MV I believe
April 24, 201410 yr Author comment_224238 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 ...
April 24, 201410 yr comment_224240 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.
April 24, 201410 yr Author comment_224242 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. It's a type v ... Black sole ... Serial number is wrong

April 25, 201410 yr comment_224253 The real one with serial number I think, mine has Edited April 25, 201410 yr by sandee11
April 25, 201410 yr comment_224254 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?
April 25, 201410 yr comment_224256 Watch out Epon lovers....aliexpress have fake Epon personals for sale now. :o http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1167114002.html They are on the market for a few years already. I think the fake irons don't have the serial number on 7 iron though

April 25, 201410 yr comment_224271 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.
April 25, 201410 yr comment_224273 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.
May 13, 201410 yr comment_224956 glad I found this thread. Asked an ebay seller for serial number and its the same as the pic.
May 15, 201410 yr comment_225017 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.
