Couldn't pass this HO up...

So firstly, MG - how did you miss this one!?!

I asked him if it was the square one, and he said - er... yeah - it's really big!! Don't know what loft it is - but it'll either be 9,10,11 or 13 i guess - seeing as it's the 586 shaft not 686.

Anyhow - just thought i'd share really

ps. gonna HO it straight back on the bay - should go for £175+

At that price, I'm willing to bet it's a fake. No doubt about it.

There are LOADS of fake FTi's floating around E-bay. Post some pics when you get it, especially of the sole and the grip. I'm surprised you would jump at this without seeing them first.

I think you got a killer deal, personally. Based on the kinds of things he normally sells (nothing), and buys (R/C car stuff), he doesn't seem like a prime candidate for selling fake junk. Definitely update us later!

yeah - i've bought enough off the bay to get a pretty good handle on what's fake and what isn't. I'm 99% sure this is fine - and with the £150 paypal guarantee, i can't really lose!?

Usually - fakes are 1 day auctions, claiming to be UK based, but shipping from abroad.

Will post pics up before i sell it on

This could turn out to be one helluva ho!

It sounds like the guys doesn't really know what he has; I almost feel sorry for him... almost.

The seller doesn't have to know if its fake, to still sell a fake, if you catch my drift. He could honestly believe it is 100% genuine. I doubt thats the case, but you never know. Report back when it arrives!

Lookin like one helluva pickup man.

Personally didnt like it, but it was definately the wrong shaft and wrong loft/weighting for me.

Looks like a sweet deal if you get a genuine FTi and if not PayPal are normally superb at refunding your money. If it does turn out to be a fake then just tell the seller you want a refund if he's genuine he will refund you straight away and it's faster than going via paypal. That said what you ho'ing with the profits? I've got a Burner TP I'm open to offers on.

So - it arrived this morning, brand new as described. It's the 11 degree version, which is great really, because there's only 4 others listed on ebay uk right now - so i'll not get lost in the 30+ fakes for the other lofts.

Anyhow - pics attached of the club that cost me £94.99 - which i've just put up for £215 + postage

If that's a fake, it is great one! I'd be willing to bet that that is the real deal!

That is a damn fine ho right there!
