Are these fake?

[3oneday]

They don't have the classic diamond centred groove pattern that you'd expect on a toppie, I'm a bit concerned:

Thoughts?

[Anfield]

Not really trying to be a wise guy here but why would anyone produce fake toppies?

Come on now, no one expect anything from Toppies. ;)

The absence of emoticons is impacting heavily.

You did well.

[9anddone]

Is it just a bad photo or have those been bent a few degrees strong? I didn't think they would have that much offset otherwise.

[3oneday]

Probably not as much offset as the oversized version.

[TheNuclearOne]

These should be in the Ebay Bargains thread.

[Captain Nemo]

Are these the JDM version, hand made at Miura?

[Daves]

Thoughts? LH Fakes are rare but there are a couple of red flags on these for me;

Very good fake if it is.
His feedback suggests he sold a fake 917 driver head. So would steer clear just in case.

Doesn't look right,

Doesn't look right,



Agree after having looked at the relisted item.

[Daves]

It is a very good fake if it is one, but something smells about this seller and what they are selling, or have sold recently. E.g. this is a supposed unwanted gift, yet his/her other listings are RH??. I can't really pick anyone thing about the head that says fake to me. But the shrink wrap doesn't look quite right, and when I looked at the other Titleist clubs he/she have sold, they also look similarly wrong to me.

This is the link to the relisted item;

May not be fake Peri. There was a forged AP1 released in Japan/Korea last year in limited numbers. If they were cheap, I'd be suspicious though. The new ones were expensive and sold out quickly.

Yep that's them!

[Daves]

The seller has pulled the 816 listing. I wonder if they read this forum? They have added another (RH) 917 Driver.

What is going on with eBay links on the forum?. They seem to be getting hijack by Vigilink??

[3oneday]

Yeah, it only just started through this thread for me.

[Wenz]

EDIT - Worked first time I clicked, now forwarding to VigLink

[wazamac]

Been doin the same thing here. Bloody Walmart.

[golfbound]

yep not cool

[TheNuclearOne]

I think AndyP announced a while back there'd be a few more creepies to help funds. Might be an example.

[dazza99]

This scotty face real? Can't find anything looking like this.

[dazza99]

Can't seem to edit my post.

Rest looks ok to me, but face looks wrong.
All the Napa's I can see online have a smaller Scotty Cameron in the corner going round a curve.
Fake or real?
Cheers guys.

[Captain Nemo]

Shit photos, and shit putter imo...
Hard to tell.
Get on the SC website and search past putters pictures are there.

[TheNuclearOne]

Faker than fake for me.

[dazza99]

Another pic of the face

[dazza99]

Yeah, thanks guys.
Think I'll have to steer clear.

[davidw88]

The writing looks massive, have to hit it out of the toe to not hit it.

Faker than fake for me.

Nah, not me. I've since removed Viglink anyway.

Thoughts?

I have a set of these, have had them since 1997, 2i to SW

They have something like Tour Offset on the hosel, very thin soles on the long irons. I got them from a mate who was sponsored by top flite as a junior after he got a set of ben hogan irons

I'll take some pics next time I dig them out of the shed

Haha are yours the same model? I've always assumed you had the smaller blade style. In all honesty I hit the MP32's much better than my Top Flites, the Toppies have R400's in them but I think they are parallel tip from memory

Unfortunately the Pro Offset or whatever it said on the hosels has been worn away, I think a mate who I leant them to polished them up after dinging the 7 iron when he borrowed them :)

Classic! Did you want a matching staff bag I got at the same time? I'm pretty sure it's not fake [emoji2]

Might even be real leather, it's just gathering dust

[Chris32]

Double post

[spanner039]

Oi!I was hoping #48 was going to chime in Anyway the last couple have got me rethinking I may have been wrong FWIW I was a topflite tour user for a number of years but with the muscle shaft , they were pretty crap. only recently donated the strata bag to a worthy cause.Stupid phone post
