    Go to the bottom of the en-au site;

    It has a selectable drop box bottom left that should be showing Australia;

    Click on it and Select U.S.A.

    The website is auto-redirecting you. You'd need to either clear the cache or use the private or incognito mode of the browser.

    If those words don't mean anything, use a different browser and don't tell the pxg website to redirect you

    Same thing was happening to me, couldnt access US version of PXG's website no matter how hard I try.

    Happy to go into a group buy if others are interested? and someone can work out how to do it!

    Don't get too excited guys. Out of interest I used a VPN, added a set of clubs to the cart. It actually says it's USA prices only, and delivery options are to USA only.

    The only way you'd be able to get it to AUS, is if you use a freight forwarder. Not sure what the prices are like for a set of clubs, but surely going to be a pretty penny.

    My bad, that usually works. It seems a VPN is the only way around it.

    Have you emailed PXG with the serial numbers? They confirm the model and tell you if they are legit.

    I have a tour issue putter - they confirmed it was tour issue for me, but not tell me who it was issued to.

    Might help with the legitimacy issues around the club any way...

    Might have got the player they issued it to in trouble, they are not supposed to be selling them.

    Sorry, but I should have mentioned you’ll need a VPN set to a US server to stop the PXG site reverting to Australia.

    You’ll also need a credit card with a US address. Australian issued Visa or Mastercards can’t be changed, but an Amex card can be.

    The biggest bargains are on the PXG eBay store. Slightly used sets are half PXG discounted prices, and half that compared to Oz prices.

    I recently drunk-bought a set of 0211 irons 5-PW for $450.

    You'll need a US shipper as they don’t ship internationally.

    I use MYUS for golf clubs.

    Oh, and for those wondering if there was a resolution to the fake saga, there has been.

    The person I purchased the clubs from agreed, when Pureform phoned them in front of me, that they were fake but refused to give me a refund until the guy he bought them from had refunded him.

    Resisting the urge to just drive to Newcastle and shake the money out of him, I returned the fakes to the original fake seller, and waited for my refund.

    It took weeks and many reminders and finally a not so subtle threat, but finally money was placed in my account yesterday.

    Unfortunately $500 less than I paid, but $1200 more than I thought I’d get.

    The guy is still advertising clubs on eBay, Gumtree and Facebook.

    His name is Richard Kuranty, he’s a member at Muree Golf Club, his eBay ID is Effieluv.

    He’s an asshole.

    Don’t trust him.

    A simply disgraceful episode.

    Richard may have purchased the irons with the best of intentions off another person, and onsold them to Steve in good faith, but upon confirmation that they are fake, ANYONE with any integrity should have refunded Steve the full amount.

    $1700 is a huge amount for anyone, but given Steve's addiction to improving his game through supporting the golf retail industry, we all have skin in this game to support him.

    Did he give any explanation as to why your weeks of investigated research to prove he

    A) got these from china and knew there fake all along
    or
    B) he was ripped off as well from previous seller

    netted you negative $500? Seems to me he should have gave you 500 not charged you 500....

    hes been added to my watched sellers list on ebay and will be promptly trolled with any item he try's to sell.

    Seriously, nobody should be conspiring to harass anyone unless you have been a customer of them personally. Its not possible for you to know the truth. For one, its against forum rules.

    My wife is(was) a professional handbag trader (not joking, she buys old ones and sells for profit) especially in Luis Vuitton. You could call her the Perci of Ozbag, except that she makes profits haha. The number of times she has been harassed by a number of crazy b____es falsely accusing her of selling fakes, coordinating this onnline, reporting her on ebay, fake bids, cancelling etc goes on and on. The stuff she has to go through with ebay to get herself unbanned repeatedly has ended up with her giving up, not worth the stress. If you had of seen the conversations written about her in these hate groups you would have been disgusted.

    It's easy to sit behind a keyboard and put shit on people online and most of those that do, wouldn't have the balls to do it in person. It is disgusting.

    What was his reason in short changing you $500?

    Doddsy did well just to get the bulk of the cash back, but stiffing him $500 is a dog act.

    The seller needs to have a good hard look at himself.

    Good on PureForm for calling the Seller and telling him to pull his head in, as he had been dudded and then dudded another chap
