All right guys we have fun video for you here today we are at the 2024 PGA show we are with the US golf manufacturers anti-counterfeit group we’re going to see if you guys can spot we all can spot the real from the fake counterfeit huge
Problem in the world of golf you got to know what you’re looking for let’s get started we’re going to start off with the Scotty Cameron head covers now A real one would sell for 5050 bucks and a fake one would sell for for 50 bucks and
One of the half the time or more than that you would get ripped off because a fake one costs 50 cents to or less to make is that right that’s right okay so we’re going to see if I can spot real versus fake I’m pretty good with this
The head covers all right we got the made in USA well that says made in USA also so we’re there so typically the stitching is something I would think you would look at my gosh these are pretty good okay okay we’re looking at the stitching this has pretty tight
Stitching let’s look at this boy this is a good one it’s a good one okay I’m going to go this one’s real and this one’s fake that’s correct that’s correct okay well done and I and I it took me to the last second it was just this top
Stitch right here that I noticed this one is a little off yep and then if you notice here you can see the t’s are a little they’re a little off they’re too skinny and then that Y is crooked you looked here that Y is regular and these
T’s are uniform man this is this was the best I’ve seen some uh fake Club covers this was probably the best fake one I’ve seen that’s the best one that we have next up are golf balls both are pro one Titleist pro1 golf balls the consumer is
Not going to see an inside of a golf ball so let’s just look from the outside here I’m doing this kind of fast I don’t know why real fake that’s correct two for two two for two yeah so one of the things you can look for particularly
With the balls is that uh the fake ones can’t replicate the softness so if you feel this outside you put your finger into that it’s hard it has no hard Scotty Cameron is the most counter Club it’s most kind of a club grip and head cover all right so we’re getting that
Okay so we got the the Ping G um 425 look at these These are both the max one is real one is fake wow now I don’t play peeing so I’d have to guess we did a little review on the these the other day the color’s
Different so if you know ping I think you would be able to tell on the color but man this I’m going to go real fake that’s wrong oh I God wrong first one so this one’s a little bit different a little harder to look for so first of
All you’ll notice here in these uh the grooves here these are machine grooves if you look on that one they’re uniform if you look on this one they’re already gone the thing that you didn’t do that you wouldn’t know to do is to tap on this that’s Hollow there’s nothing in
There because they can’t replicate the phone you can’t replicate the insert the inside so this one is not Hollow it has the technology in it I totally got the Ping I would have gotten swindled for 500 bucks basically y you wouldn’t be the first oh boy I’m not going to be the
Last either so since Scotty Camerons are the most counterfeited Club out there on the market we’re going to show you these these are all fake so things to uh watch out for and if you want more information go to the website keep golf.com if you have any questions concerns comments whatever that’s where
All the info is going to be for these guys they’ll help you out you’re thinking of spending five grand on a circle te hopefully it’s not this one cuz this one is 100% not a circle te what is this the Newport 2 fake look at this the insert you’re going to get it
You’re going to be like why is the insert loose it’s because it’s not a Scotty Cameron it’s a Scotty Cameroon one of the OG Scotties better not be this one this one’s fake look how precise they’ve gotten with the lettering I mean they are pretty spoton the only way you’re really telling the
Difference is the color of the grip and you got to know does Scotty go whiter or is a little off white the only way you’ll know is if you know the color palette of Scotty Cameron grips pick one right now the real one is this one right here this is real I
Mean it’s so close you really couldn’t tell from an online photo when you get it and this falls apart in 6 weeks you’re wish you bought the real one spend the money at a reputable shop all right last up golf golf balls in the case that’s right you know we did the
Golf ball out of the case these are prov1 X right yes okay so you get a case of balls you’re checking these out if you’re like huh okay I’ll give you 40 bucks yeah I probably would have went here I just I mean the color is different but I don’t
Know what the dead giveaway is the Hologram see the Hologram there not there at all oh my gosh replic in the light there’s a little hologram it’s like a something on a piece of money yep that’s right yep same deal wow and this is stuff you never see like a real one’s
Just the inside of a club is perfect really well put together and then the fake Guy this is what you’re buying shoddy construction inside appreciate it guys good to see thanks for doing the the work out there on the front lines it’s the best we’re happy to be here real versus fake hope
It was helpful keep you guys out of um getting horrible equipment thanks for watching love you guys see you soon

Great video as always. I had gotten some “golf pride” grips off Temu and as expected they were fake. Needed it for a set I never play but let that be a warning to anyone looking to save a few bucks.
It's a crying shame that people will go to any great lengths to rip off people of their hard earned money I'm glad you did this video Matt to hopefully educate people on making careful decisions on where to buy golf equipment
How long before the knock offs have infiltrated the market so heavily that it literally destroys the legitimate sales🤔
Scotty Cameron vs. Shoddy scameron
I know people that buy this crap on Temu and they actually believe they are getting an authentic products. They will fight you to the death defending their amazing deals, and your just jealous they are such shrewd consumers.
I can't answer this question. If golf products were cheaper would there be less fakes?
Would the scammers make fake Kirkland balls and clubs? Maybe due to high demand and shortage of supply but not for the name.
well I guess if it only costs 50 cents to make, then we are being way overcharged for the real items! I buy Chinese grips for all of my clubs and they last just as long as Winn or Golf Pride but are 10 cents on the dollar. Maybe its time for these manufacturers to start dropping their prices and there will be no incentive to buy fake…
The only time I've gotten discounts on things like ProV1 balls is at a golf store liquidation. And that stuff goes so fast. I have picked up a brand new set of Mizzuno forged blades for $400. Got ProV1s for $30/dozen. Titleist weather-soft gloves for $5/each. If you don't show up pretty much as soon as it starts, you are going to miss out.
Unfortunately, that is how people are now. They knowingly buy the fakes. They think that paying more for quality is for suckers. As long as they can get the look without spending the coin then they are happy. Like that in all areas, not just golf
Are there clones that perform as good as the real thing? Not that we should buy them
Can’t buy fake golf products if you just keep using your 20 year old clubs
I want a Scotty Camaroon now 😂 😂
