Stop Buying Counterfeits: How to Spot Fake Clubs in 60 Seconds
Buying used clubs this week? Run this 60-second check before you send money.
The usual tells
Serial on the wrong side of the grip
Plastic wrap on a “Scotty”
Price way under street value
Seller wants Cash App / Zelle only, no local meetup
Photos look too clean, or the same listing is in three cities
Quick inspection
Ask for a timestamped photo of the serial, hosel, and grip logo.
Compare the stamp, paint fill, and shaft band to a known real listing of the same model.
If they refuse extra photos, walk away.
I put the full used-club inspection into one guide so you do not get burned on Marketplace.

If a listing already feels off, drop the photos in the comments and I will tell you what I would check first.
