kaaayelll Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...Who copied whom? Or are they related? Or is the use of blanks way more prevalent than we think? These would be pretty specific blanks, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffer19 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Well, it's not exactly someone trying to copy the ever popular Channel or LV handbag. 99% of the golfing public probably never heard of either brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Wait, is this simplified Chinese on the first picture? If it is Chinese characters , that would explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanla01 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Black arrow seems like a copy, if you look at the bottom right gear of the black arrow wedge, you can see the spaces between the gear. Modart looks spot on with the gears working together in the wedge pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcat Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 well...if it's a copy, it looks much nicier than the modart on that picture... Regarding the space, pictures are not taken from the same angle. Much flatter on the Modart one, that's why you would not see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the space, pictures are not taken from the same angle. Much flatter on the Modart one, that's why you would not see it. the finish on the black arrow is definitely nicer then the modart. With the spaces between the right bottom gear of the black arrow. doesn't seem right. It could be the angle of the picture or not, who know's. I wouldn't be surprise if both wedges came from one manufacturer but different "Master" grinders!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Fake. The Modart is made fully by CNC, the other is made like a normal wedge with CNC milling on the back face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaayelll Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) I don't think I'd say fake since it's not trying to put itself forward as Modart. Good point, though, they are different - forged/CNC vs billet CNC. The question is do we definitively know who came first? It sure seems one copied the other.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 RAW heads purchased in Japan, Some Grinding done in Japan, Milling done in Korea. I consider them Fake Japanese/Korean Golf Clubs. But Black Arrow basically makes copys of multiple brands. S-Yard Bold Anyone? I think that pretty much sums everything up.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 How about Srixon? Pretty much only sold on Taobao and other online discount shops that also have fake gear available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Updated the OP to show a better angle of the Modart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
