    I don't think high handicap golfers would ever be able to tell if a club is fake unless they're able to compare with the real deal. Some years back I purchased a used set of TM Burner Plus irons for only $A60. I had no idea if they were fakes or not but I hit them reasonably well so was happy with my decision. They had numbers stamped into the hosel but i could never match these up to anything on the TM website. I still have them and take them out for a round regularly.
    Great vlog Gary I'm from Australia and love your content. 😊

    Gaz would be really interesting if proper shafts were put in the fake clubs. It’s really good to see vlogs like this as most golfers wouldn’t know the difference. As consumers we have become tackle tarts and believe the hype from manufacturers. Most clubs now are well over priced in my opinion.

    Gaz, I have a mate who has a fake set of M6 steel shafted irons from Wish. I have used them a couple of times and here are my thoughts. 1. I can't tell they're fakes, but I've never looked at a genuine set of M6 irons. 2. When I hit it out of the middle it feels good and goes a very similar distance to my own normal irons. 3. I don't swing it fast enough or consistently enough for the fake irons to really impact my game, if it goes miles right it's me. When I see James Robinson or Rick Shiels review forgiving clubs it means nothing to me, I want to see a high-handicapper like me review them so I can see it through similar eyes to mine.

    In 1984 i purchased Wilson clubs, Driver, 3 and 5 Wood £115 irons with dynamic gold S500 shafts £195, total £310, i have the receipt. Today equivalent Wilson clubs are Woods £600 irons £597 Total £1197, so 3 times as much. How much inflation in 40 years? Clubs against wages are cheaper now, it’s interesting that irons are considerably cheaper, but woods are less so. James Robinson makes a living telling you clubs are expensive, they just aren’t, and today we have direct to consumer brands providing great value, also main brands sell last years models cheap as chips. Think before you make statements

      Being someone who’s played golf all my life and, being as invested in the sport as we’re, I do agree, but I guess when we’re talking to a wide audience, it’s quite easy to talk about the cost of equipment to play golf in comparison to other sports, as a big portion of the audience are social, beginner and less frequent golfers who aren’t prepared to invest like we’re into the highest performing products.

      @@garymartingolf they don’t have to spend large sums of money, when i purchased my Wilsons in the 1984, new players purchased beginner sets, or second hand from the local pro. Also Petron were on the horizon. Beginners are now spoilt for choice, direct to consumer, last years models often less than 6 months from launch, various resell sites, the only downside is the local pro shop is in decline, so getting good advice is difficult. But if beginners watch RUclips they will believe the tirade of statements that golf is too expensive, this is counter intuitive as it puts them off, reality is you can buy a reasonable starter set for £250-£500. What is getting expensive is green fees and membership, having sat as treasurer of a members club, i understand how expensive managing a course is, costs have exploded, also re-wilding and or building houses on municipal courses is reducing affordable golf, there are less driving ranges as developers buy the sites. We don’t want to return to the dark days of golf for the privileged few, my first set were from a jumble sale, pretend hickory, steels covered in hickory looking plastic, paid 50p, my weeks wages as a butchers Saturday lad, junior membership in 1969 was £7 per year, shed loads to me, we had under 30 junior members, but very soon our town had three municipal golf courses and a pitch and putt, only one of these still exist.

    It is surprising to me how sophisticated the fake golf club industry seems to be. It seems like so much trouble to make a fake product - that they could easily make a legitimate product of some kind. I hate all kinds of thievery though - I wish all of these fake club makers could be tracked and stopped. I recently got a great deal on a used set of PXG Gen 3 0311XP's. I think they are fantastic. Then . . . it dawned on me they just might be fake. Did some checking and I think they're legit, but had me worried for a bit.

      @@garymartingolf Nothing in golf is new, idea wise. We have known what MOI was for a VERY long time. For average duffers, move the MOI as far back as possible. For irons, wider soles and cavity back heads, they perform the best. Add mass to the toe and heel of all clubs to make them forgiving. Why are fairway woods and hybrids coming on strong now? Go back in time and look at a niblick and a mashie and a brassie. They were trying to figure out MOI. Today, we have different materials and machines to make the equipment at the foundries better, yes.
